Spotted betta fish natural habitat is blackwater river in Java and Sumatera (Indonesia) and Malay peninsula.
A blackwater river is a river with a deep, slow-moving channel flowing through forested swamps or wetlands. As vegetation decays, tannins leach into the water, making a transparent, acidic water that is darkly stained, resembling tea or coffee.
The Life Expectancy of Betta Fish for both of Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens) and the Spotted Betta (Betta Picta) is 2 up to 3 years. But we can increase the life span of betta fish up to 4-5 years by taking proper care for them. In very rare case, betta fish life span can be up to 10 years!
We called it Betta Fish. The Betta Fish we talked here are species named Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens) and the Spotted Betta (Betta Picta). Actually there are 73 species of Betta genus already identified, including yours :)
