Betta

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.

Bonefish

The bonefish is the premier shallow-water flats species, prized by fly fishers for its blistering initial run. Found in tropical shallows worldwide, it feeds by rooting in sand and marl for crustaceans and mollusks.
