Adding The Siamese Fighting Fish aka. The Betta

There are loads of amazing fish out there and The Siamese Fighting Fish or Betta is just one of them. Although there are a lot of fish, I want Mojang to add the Betta specifically for it's sad tendency to be put in small tanks with one other Betta so that they can fight to the death. Typically one ends up injured badly and the other dead. They also have a unique ability to breath out of water even as a fish. Very few fish are like the Betta, I've seen Betta's do some amazing and surprising things. And if the Betta is implemented into minecraft, if it's not to much to ask, I would like there to be some kind of way to keep the Betta damp well out of water for it to be able to live, since that is how it is in real life. They should have no drops as they are far to small to be used for anything even food. The Betta would spawn in small and shallow ponds or streams. Betta mostly just swim, but they do chase other fish a lot. They come in a lot of different colors: https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=wild%20bettas&qs=n&form=QBIR&sp=-1&pq=wild%20bettas&sc=8-11&sk=&cvid=40D74D9F15384286B5A7E3412A760773 

I decided to request this for my Betta, who has done amazing things such as hide as if playing a game every morning, mourn a dead guppy, and not one of our fish attacked his dead body because they all respected him. Sounds crazy, but this isn't even the full story.

  Could you add a picture of what these fish look like in real life? I imagine most people, like myself, do not know what they look like. Also, tell us, what is its sad history?

  Having a fish be tamable is a silly idea but the fact that it can breathe out of water would make for an interesting new mechanic, which I do really like the sound of.

  Edit: that is a gorgeous fish, I love it

  This reminds of Aurora and Simon the betta fish. Simon died of sickness and Aurora was shocked to death by the temperature being to hot. They were at my school. I got very sad

  This is a great idea! My betta loves to watch me play minecraft! He will lay on his lily pad or leaf hammock and watch the screen. Maybe they could have a kind of passive attack on other fish like wolves do with sheep, since they like to attack other fish! They could be useful in protecting underwater bases passively since the axolotl has to have fish in the players hand to attack (or I could be remembering their attack thingy wrong xD)
