Trusted Resources

Betta Fish Awareness Day is a firm believer in education when it comes to animal care. Big or small, all animals should be researched before a person decides to purchase or care for one. Betta splendens have many articles written about them for those new to the hobby to look into. Unfortunately, many resources still publish and advertise false advise and myths about their needs. Often, these misleading sources of information use anecdotes, or hearsay, to support their statements and offer little explanation based in science to support the myths they are perpetuating as fact.

In order to make it easier for Betta fish owners new and old to find correct information about this beautiful species, Betta Fish Awareness Day has compiled this list of useful resources from trust worthy and research-supported sources that discuss care needs, Betta fish basics, and general health.
