This is not a fish blog but….

Fighting fish is a native sport of Thailand. Coming face to face, the opponents are transformed into wonderfully beautiful creatures, their colour deepening their gills quivering and widening, their fins and tails spreading out and assuming a warm glow. Every part of the body becomes vibrant. They lose no time in getting at each other, biting fiercely and cruelly. With mouths locked for minutes or sometimes even hours, they fit up and down the water in the bottle manoeuvring for positions. Parts of gills, fins, tailsmortal combat, the enthusiasts would bet basing their culculations on the amount and severity of the injury inflicted and received by both sides.

This is how the fish looks in its non-fighting form.

A more humane way of seeing the Crown Tail Thai fighting fish in its fighting form is using a mirror.


Hehe, the moment the fish sees its reflection, Its gills and tail expanded. They’re so pretty . Ack The color of the tail is supposed to be mauve and the body is pinkish but the stupid lampshade changes the hue.



It moves back and forth waiting for a fight? .. hehe


Or is it staring to look at its pretty tail?

    eep I read that it’s not really healthy to agitate them like that (mirros, etc) because it gets them all worked up and they can injure themselves in the process. my brother kept doing that to my fish for awhile >:O
