Are Chinese bettas cold water fish? Can they be raised in cold water

No, Chinese bettas like to grow in water temperature of 25-28 ℃, not cold water fish. It has many varieties, and the optimum water temperature of each variety is not necessarily the same. For example, the optimum water temperature of most round tailed bettas is 24-27 ℃, and that of most fork tailed bettas is 20-25 ℃. They can survive in water with a water temperature above 6 ℃. But just because you can survive doesn't mean you can grow well. If you want to keep it well, you still need to control the water temperature above 20 ℃. 1、 Is Chinese Betta a cold water fish? Chinese Betta is not a cold water fish, but a tropical fish. They like to grow in water temperature of 25-28 ℃. Male Chinese fighting fish are fierce and aggressive. It is recommended to breed them alone. The female Chinese Betta Fish is relatively mild. On the premise of sufficient fish tank space, it can be cultured with some tropical fish of similar size. But they can't be cultured in the same tank as cold water fish. 2、 The water temperature of Chinese Betta is appropriate. Most Chinese Betta like to grow in water with a water temperature of 25-28 ℃. However, there are many varieties of Chinese Betta, and the optimum water temperature of each variety is not necessarily the same. For example, the optimum water temperature of most round tailed bettas is 24-27 ℃, and that of most fork tailed bettas is 20-25 ℃. Therefore, it is suggested that the water temperature should be determined according to the species. 3、 Can Chinese Betta be raised in cold water? Chinese Betta can't be raised in cold water. Although they have certain cold resistance, they can survive in water above 6 ℃. However, to survive does not mean to grow well. Generally, if the water temperature is lower than 14 ℃, their vitality will decrease significantly. At a lower level, they will stop swimming and reduce their feeding, which can only barely maintain their life. Therefore, if you want to keep them well, you need to use water with a water temperature of more than 20 ℃ instead of cold water. （ZhongGuoDouYuShiLengShuiYuMa，KeYiYongLengShuiYangMa）
