Donating to the museum[edit]

As with all fish in the Animal Crossing series, the betta can be donated to the island's museum by talking to Blathers, the curator. He will say the following when given a betta:

In New Horizons[edit]

When donating to Blathers or selecting "Tell me about this!" in New Horizons, he will provide the following information about the fish:

"The betta has long fins and beautiful coloring. It is a tropical fish popular in decorative aquariums. They're very territorial and will fight to complete exhaustion, so aquarists must keep them carefully. Rarely do such beauty and violence commingle outside the rowdiest of sunset-viewing parties."

Once donated to the museum, the betta can be found in the fish tank in the entrance room alongside the Angelfish and the Nibble Fish.

Real-world information[edit]

The betta, or Siamese fighting fish, is native to Southeast Asia. They live in shallow bodies of water such as marshes or streams. Bettas are very territorial and aggressive, especially the males, and they may attack and possibly kill each other if kept in the same tank.
