Ok,
It's not really an ask question.
But I kind of get annoyed when everyone calls the fighting fish a Chinese or Cambodian.
It has a reason why it's called a "Siamese Fighting Fish" because it comes from Siam a.k.a Thailand.
Okies ^__^ Needed to get that out my head.

Because they called the fish that before it was called Thailand. So why bother changing? And I think Siam suits the fish's name

wow you get annoyed easily.
Thailand hasn't been called Siam since 1949, so why not call them Thai fighting fish?

Cambodian can be applied, if it's the color of the betta that's the topic. A Cambodian betta is one with a cream or white body but more deeply colored fins: http://www.uniquaria.com/photogallery/bettasplen/as_cambodianfemale.jpg
But yes, the origin is Thailand/Siam.

I've heard Chinese and Japanese, don't think I've heard anyone call them Cambodian fighting fish, though.
So many people know them only by the name ''betta'', that they seem to just 'guess' at where they're from.
