Betta
Betta is a large genus of small, often colorful, freshwater ray-finned fishes in the gourami family (Osphronemidae). The best known "Betta" species is "B. splendens," commonly known as the Siamese fighting fish. All the "Betta" species are small fishes, but they vary considerably in size, ranging from under 2.5 cm (1 in) total length in "B. chanoides" to 12.5 cm (5 in) in the Akar betta ("B. akarensis"). Bettas are anabantoids, which means they can breathe atmospheric air using a unique organ called the labyrinth. This accounts for their ability to thrive in low-oxygen water conditions that would kill most other fish, such as rice paddies, slow-moving streams, drainage ditches, and large puddles.
Siamese fighting fish
The Siamese fighting fish ("Betta splendens"), also sometimes colloquially known as the betta, is a species in the gourami family which is popular as an aquarium fish. Bettas can be territorial fish and are prone to high levels of aggression towards each other. Two males in proximity will almost always attack each other, if they do not have the ability to escape this will usually result in the death of one or both of the fish. Female bettas can also become territorial towards each other if they are housed in too small an aquarium. It is typically not recommended to keep male and female bettas together, except temporarily for breeding purposes which should always be undertaken with caution.
King betta
The king betta is a popular aquarium fish of unknown provenance. The King betta generally grows to about 5–6 cm (2–2 1/2 in). Its pigments are generally vibrant beige to a white. As with most bettas, King betta females are smaller and less colorful than the males. The life span of the King betta is short, generally 2–3 years, rarely reaching four. The King betta is (as are all other bettas) members of the gourami family (Osphronemidae) and prefers a temperature of 80–90 °F. Hardly anything is known about the King betta. Some people say that "Betta raja" and "Betta splendens" cross bred in nature to create the King betta we know today.
Fishkeeping
Fishkeeping is a popular hobby, practiced by aquarists, concerned with keeping fish in a home aquarium or garden pond. There is also a piscicultural fishkeeping industry, as a branch of agriculture. Fish have been raised as food in pools and ponds for thousands of years. Brightly colored or tame specimens of fish in these pools have sometimes been valued as pets rather than food. Many other cultures kept fish for both functional and decorative purposes. Ancient Sumerians kept wild-caught fish in ponds, before preparing them for meals. Depictions of the sacred fish of Oxyrhynchus kept in captivity in rectangular temple pools have been found in ancient Egyptian art.
Macropodusinae
The Macropodusinae are a subfamily of freshwater perciform fishes in the gourami family Osphronemidae. Like all members of the family, these are air breathing fishes that frequently inhabit oxygen poor environments hostile to other fishes (the licorice gouramies of "Parosphromenus" inhabit well-oxygenated, but extremely soft and acidic, blackwater streams). They are native to Asia, from Pakistan and India to the Malay Archipelago and north-easterly towards Korea. Many members are common aquarium fish; by far the most famous is the Siamese fighting fish, "Betta splendens" (note that the domesticated form is very likely a hybrid).
Croaking gourami
The croaking gourami ("Trichopsis vittata") is a species of small freshwater labyrinth fish of the gourami family. They are native to still waters in Southeast Asia and are distributed worldwide via the aquarium trade. Croaking gouramis are capable of producing a "croaking" noise using their pectoral fins. Croaking gouramis can reach an average size of about 5 centimeters, though some individuals can grow as large as 6 or 7 centimeters. Coloration is highly variable, ranging from pale brown and green to dark purple with black or red spots on the fins. 2-4 brown or black stripes or rows of spots are present on their sides.
Gourami
Gouramis or gouramies are a group of freshwater perciform fishes that comprise the family, Osphronemidae. The fish are native to Asia, from Pakistan and India to the Malay Archipelago and north-easterly towards Korea. The name "gourami", of Japanese origin, is also used for fish of the families Helostomatidae and Anabantidae. Many gouramis have an elongated, feeler-like ray at the front of each of their pelvic fins. Many species show parental care: some are mouthbrooders, and others, like the Siamese fighting fish ("Betta splendens"), build bubble nests. Currently, about 133 species are recognised, placed in four subfamilies and about 15 genera.

Take Good Care of My Baby
"Take Good Care of My Baby" is a song written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin. The song was made famous by Bobby Vee, when it was released in 1961. While searching for material for Bobby Vee to record, Vee's producer Snuff Garrett heard a demo of Carole King singing "Take Good Care of My Baby". Garrett told publisher Don Kirshner that he wanted the song for Vee, but he believed the song needed an introductory verse. Garrett met with Carole King, and the introductory verse of Vee's version was written. Bobby Vee released "Take Good Care of My Baby" as a single on July 20, 1961. Vee's recording quickly became popular, spending 15 weeks on the U.S. "Billboard" Hot 100, reaching No.

Burlington, Newfoundland and Labrador
Burlington is an incorporated town in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is a small fishing and lumbering community on Highway 413 at the north side of the mouth of Green Bay. Burlington was once named Northwest Arm, and was permanently settled in the mid-19th century. The community was renamed in the early part of 1915 due to a mix-up in the mail service. After many residents complained that their mail was sent to another community with a similar name, the town leaders felt the need to have a name change. Out of three separate entries, 'Burlington' was chosen. There was no large industry in the 19th century.

Betta
Betta is a large genus of small, often colorful, freshwater ray-finned fishes in the gourami family (Osphronemidae). The best known "Betta" species is "B. splendens," commonly known as the Siamese fighting fish. All the "Betta" species are small fishes, but they vary considerably in size, ranging from under 2.5 cm (1 in) total length in "B. chanoides" to 12.5 cm (5 in) in the Akar betta ("B. akarensis"). Bettas are anabantoids, which means they can breathe atmospheric air using a unique organ called the labyrinth. This accounts for their ability to thrive in low-oxygen water conditions that would kill most other fish, such as rice paddies, slow-moving streams, drainage ditches, and large puddles.
Bubble nest
Bubble nests, also called foam nests, are created by some fish and frog species as floating masses of bubbles blown with an oral secretion, saliva bubbles, and occasionally aquatic plants, or an area for egg deposit attached at the bottom. Fish that build and guard bubble nests are known as aphrophils. Aphrophils include gouramis (including "Betta" species) and the synbranchid eel "Monopterus alba" in Asia, "Ctenopoma" (Anabantidae), "Polycentropsis" (Nandidae), and "Hepsetus odoe" (the only member of Hepsetidae) in Africa, and callichthyines and the electric eel in South America. Most, if not all, fish that construct floating bubble nests live in tropical, oxygen-depleted standing waters.
Spawn (biology)
Spawn is the eggs and sperm released or deposited into water by aquatic animals. As a verb, "to spawn" refers to the process of releasing the eggs and sperm, and the act of both sexes is called spawning. Most aquatic animals, except for aquatic mammals and reptiles, reproduce through the process of spawning. Spawn consists of the reproductive cells (gametes) of many aquatic animals, some of which will become fertilized and produce offspring. The process of spawning typically involves females releasing ova (unfertilized eggs) into the water, often in large quantities, while males simultaneously or sequentially release spermatozoa (milt) to fertilize the eggs.
Anabantoidei
The Anabantoidei are a suborder of anabantiform ray-finned freshwater fish distinguished by their possession of a lung-like labyrinth organ, which enables them to breathe air. The fish in the Anabantoidei suborder are known as anabantoids or labyrinth fish. Some labyrinth fish are important food fish, and many others, such as the Siamese fighting fish and paradise fish, are popular as aquarium fish. The labyrinth organ, a defining characteristic of fish in the suborder Anabantoidei, is a much-folded suprabranchial accessory breathing organ. It is formed by vascularized expansion of the epibranchial bone of the first gill arch and used for respiration in air.
Fish reproduction
Fish reproductive organs include testes and ovaries. In most species, gonads are paired organs of similar size, which can be partially or totally fused. There may also be a range of secondary organs that increase reproductive fitness. The genital papilla is a small, fleshy tube behind the anus in some fishes, from which the sperm or eggs are released; the sex of a fish often can be determined by the shape of its papilla. Most male fish have two testes of similar size. In the case of sharks, the testes on the right side is usually larger. The primitive jawless fish have only a single testis, located in the midline of the body, although even this forms from the fusion of paired structures in the embryo.
Asian swamp eel
The Asian swamp eel, swamp eel, rice eel, or white ricefield eel("Monopterus albus") is a commercially important, air-breathing species of fish in the Synbranchidae family. Originating in the waters of East and Southeast Asia, it has been identified as an invasive species in the North American Everglades. The Asian swamp eel is a freshwater eel-like fish belonging to the family Synbranchidae. This family is native to the fresh, brackish, tropical, and subtropical waters of Asia, but is now present in West Africa and North, Central, and South America. Its taxonomy, however, is incorrect. Though "Monopterus albus" was initially thought to be a single species, four known populations of the “species” in the southeastern United States may actually be three distinct species or taxa, each originating from a different area in Asia.
