The Siamese fighting fish is threatened by habitat degradation across most of its range, converted into intensive farmland, developed or polluted, especially in central Thailand. Genetic erosion from escaped farmed stock into wild habitats is a secondary threat. It is popular in the aquarium trade and bred in many domestic variations for international markets and game fighting. (IUCN, 2011)
