What does it mean if your Japanese fighting fish flares his face up?
When people write "Japanese fighting fish" I wonder just where they got that name from. The fish is properly called a "Betta splendens" often shortened to Betta. The only common name that fits it is "Siamese fighting fish' because the wild fish comes from what used to be Siam. (Thailand). Flaring of the gills and finnage is the display this species makes as a threat before fighting. Basically, I guess he's saying "Look at me I'm big and strong and fit and I'm going to kill you if you don't clear off".
