Betta fish, scientifically known as Betta splendens, are a striking freshwater species native to the rice paddies and shallow waters of Southeast Asia, particularly Thailand, which was historically referred to as Siam.

Reverse

On the reverse of the 2025 Colorized Betta Fish 2 oz Silver Coin, a Betta fish is beautifully illustrated in vibrant color. Known for their bright hues and flowing fins, these fish are a favorite among aquarium keepers. Male Betta fish, in particular, are highly territorial and will fiercely defend their space, often reacting aggressively to their own reflection. However, under the right conditions, they can live peacefully with select tankmates.

History

A fascinating feature of Betta fish is their labyrinth organ, which allows them to breathe air directly from the surface, as well as through their gills. This evolutionary advantage enables them to thrive in low-oxygen environments, making them highly adaptable.
