Different kinds of fighting fish
Fighting fish are beautiful little fish that are very easy to take care of. However, they are very aggressive and shouldn’t be kept with other fish—even other fighting fish.
There are many different kinds, including:
- Veil Tail
- Half Moon
- Crown Tail
They come in a variety of colours such as red, blue, green, yellow, and orange.
The most common ones we sell are red, blue, and black Veil Tails at $15 each.
Fighting fish care recommendations
Tank and temperature
To keep fighting fish, you only need a small fish tank or bowl. If your house gets cold, you may need a small heater to keep the water temperature above 20°C.
Fighting fish are temperate water fish, so they don’t do too well in cold water.
Keeping the water clean (choose one approach)
You can keep the tank clean in a few simple ways described on this page:
- Use a sponge type filter
- Use a bubbling airstone
- Do 50% water changes 1–2 times a week
Water conditioners (each water change)
Every time you change the water:
- Add chlorine neutraliser to remove chlorine from tap water
- Add a pinch of water conditioning blue salts for necessary minerals
All of these are available in our store.
