Since reading everybody elses blogs we found that many of the fish weren't doing so well, but we are happy to report that Wendall is still doing fine :) , with that we have decided to do some research on the Siamese Fighting Fish in order to understand the species a bit more and this is what we found out :
*They are one of the most popular species of freshwater aquarium fish

*They grow only up to 5cm in length

*They are known for their brilliant colours and large fins

*They live up to 2 to 4 years in captivity

*They prefer a warmer climate around 25 t0 30*C

*They posses an organ known as the "labyrinth" this is what allows the fish to breath air at the surface of the water , hence the bubble nests that tend to occur

*They must be well kept in clean water as they are extremely susceptible to diseases such as fin rot

*They have upturned mouths as they are primarily carnivorous

*Wendall is classified as a "metallic double tail male" but there are also "crown tale males"

*Due to thier teritorial nature, males are iscolates from each other, as most fights between two males almost always lead to death

*They become respondent to human behaviour and feeding cues, hence when placing your hand over the tank it acknowledges your presence
