Default Siamese Fighting Fish


Siamese fighting fish are a very elegant fish. That is until you put another one in. If you don't want two dead fish. They are very territorial so they will fight till the death. So I warn you if you want two fish don't get two siamese fighting fish.

The normal feeding is when you get up in the morning and when you go to sleep. You should feed them five pebble of food in the morning and night.
Now if you miss one of the feeding times give them double what you normally give them. Try your best not too miss any feeding times because if you miss to many you wont have a fish any more.

To keep your siamese fighting fish happy make sure its environment is comfy. So you want to keep it clean. After you clean it you need to put something in that get rid of chlorine, that's the same thing you need to with the water when you get the fish. Another thing keeps a siamese fighting fish happy is pebble in the bottom , plants to swim through ,and sometimes a tank that can make bubbles, for example my fish love to stay over them I think he thinks it's a massage.

One other thing the males are colorful and the females are normally white but they be another duel color. Well that's about it. I hope I taught you how to take of a siamese fighting fish. So I think your fish will happy one.

How strange. When I went diving in the Gulf of Siam, I didn't see any Siamese fighting fish. Or any other fish. The sandy sea bottom was like a lifeless underwater desert. I don't know why, but it spooked the hell out of me.

(PS: Please use a spell checker. If your word processor doesn't have one, search Google for "free spell checkers." There are a few available.)

Howdy, uvachick. I'll just point out a few flaws first.

don't want too dead

two
So I worn you you want to fish don't

So I warn you, if you want to get fish, don't
miss to many you

too
he thinks it a massage

it's
female are normally white

This is more a note of interest, but I used to have 2 females, and they were both very dark grey. Almost black.


However, the information is pretty solid, and it's clear that you take a lot of pride and joy from keeping bettas. Some work is needed, but it's a good start.

This is a great start. It's obvious that you have an interest in the subject, which makes me interested. Short but informative.

I think grammar may be the biggest issue with this piece (sentence fragments, lack of commas, etc.), but I'm not sure if you prefer that much editing or if you want overall impressions.

Personal stories intermixed with the information is effective, so I liked the "he thinks it's a massage" line. Also, did you learn the hard way not to put two together? Yikes.

Isn't it just the males that can't be put together?
