Species Overview
Betta
The Siamese fighting fish is famous for its vibrant colors and flowing fins, developed through centuries of selective breeding. Males are highly territorial and will flare their gill covers at rivals. They possess a labyrinth organ for breathing atmospheric air.
Spotted Seatrout
The spotted seatrout, despite its name, is a member of the drum family, not the trout family. It inhabits grass flats and estuaries along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Males produce a distinctive drumming sound to attract females.
