Musashi

Answer 4

Yes, there are indeed Siamese but known popularly as Japanese Fighting Fish.

The character "魚" that Fish Man used has 2 pronunciations: "uo" (oo-O) and "sakana"

I would name him "Musashi", after Musashi Miyamoto, a legandary swordsman from the late 16th century born in Japan. If you want to experience the "spirit" of Musashi before you name your fish, check out Akira Kurosawa's movie trilogy: Musashi Miyamoto, Duel at Ichijoji Temple and Duel on Ganryu Island

Answer 5

It's a Siamese Fighting Fish.  They come from Thailand which used to be called Siam.

Answer 6

Mines named Fishie :D

My mother's is Mushu [like the dragon from disney's Mulan :] ]

Answer 7

They aren't Japanese Fighting Fish; they're Siamese Fighting Fish, or Betta (pronounced Bet-tah, not Bay-tah).

You could name it something Japanese-themed, however, such as Samurai or Bushido.

Good luck!

Answer 8

Bettas aren't Japanese. They come from Thailand, which used to be called Siam. So the common name for the betta is the "Siamese Fighting Fish." Sometimes you'll hear people call them Chinese or Japanese but that's wrong.
