Fighting Fish Clubs

Siamese fighting fish are one of the most inexpensive and popular fish today. They are three inches long, very colorful, and famous for their lack of kindess towards each other. Male fish cannot be kept together. They originate from cambodia and come in a variatey of colors:

blue, red, orange, yellow, green, silver, white, and many many more.

Another thing that is common among fighting fish are their long fins. The body itself can be up to five inches long, but its tails can almost double it's size. Often, at the pet stores, they will take fish with shorter tails so they can fit into the cups that they are usually displayed in.

In fact, many people are upset with the treatment of siamese fighting fish at pet stores- with the blue food dye and the small plasitc containers, it seems that the fish couldnt possibly be happy at all.

But no one really is making any big moves, and it seems at the time the PETA doesnt care.

Siamese fighting fish "rings" are popular among college students, mainly because the fish will attack anything. It's usually just as a simple joke, and many people dont find anything wrong with it whatsoever. There are videos on youtube where fish are fighting each other, and also fighting fish attacking other animals, some as large as snakes.
Indeed, these tiny fish are hardy, and it is in their nature to be vicious, but the question is, is it alright to make them fight?
