Can the betta live in the river? Where can it live?

In general, the betta will not survive if it is released into the river. Because most of the rivers are polluted, and the fighting fish belongs to the ornamental fish, if put in the wild, it is difficult to adapt to the poor environment. Moreover, bettas like to live in areas where the current is slow. The current in the river is large. It is difficult for them to resist the current when they are released into the river. In addition, the fish living in the wild are more ferocious, and the released fighting fish are likely to fail to catch food or be eaten by other fish.

1. can the betta fish live

in the river? The betta fish may not live in the river, because most of the rivers in our country are polluted now. If the betta fish being raised are put into the river, it is difficult for them to adapt to the wild environment. Some of them with poor physique may die on the spot. Secondly, bettas are suitable for living in still water. The rivers in the wild are relatively large. If they are suddenly released into the river, they are likely to die of exhaustion because of the resistance to the current. Finally, although the fighting fish is fierce, it is small in size, and its ability to hunt is relatively poor. If they are released into the wild, they are likely to starve to death because they can't catch food, or they may be eaten by other larger fish. Therefore, the betta can not survive in the river under normal circumstances, and breeders need to be cautious when releasing them. As mentioned

above, bettas like to live in places where the current is slow, so the more suitable place for them to live is in ponds, lakes or release ponds. In these places, the release pond is the most suitable, because the water body of the release pond is large, but the water quality is stable, and the fighting fish can survive well. When releasing
a betta, you should also pay attention to the species. If it is a Chinese betta, you can release it into the wild. If it's a Thai fighting fish, it can't be released into the wild. Because the water temperature of the Thai fighting fish is on the high side, if they are released into the wild, they will freeze to death in winter.
