Breeders are constantly announcing new varieties, and types that were rare a few years ago may now be found in big-box pet stores. I hope to cover as many betta varieties as possible here, but the truth is IвЂ™ll probably miss a few. From the more than 70 species of wild bettas, breeders have selectively bred lines with unique traits, leading to the massive variety of fish found in the aquarium trade.Betta fish are native to the Mekong Delta region of Southeast Asia, where they typically scrounge for insect eggs and larvae among the rice paddies and irrigation ditches.Female bettas are also very pretty but lack fancy fins and an aggressive attitude. Male bettas are especially coveted by aquarists for their elaborate, flowing fancy tails, unique patterns, and vivid colors. The ever-popular betta is practically the runway model of the freshwater fish trade.
