"During the dry season in their natural habitat, Bettas can make do in the beds of dried out streams and ponds by retreating to cavities with a little bit of water or even burying themselves in the muddy bed.
Bettas are anabantoids, aka labyrinth fish. Anabantoids possess a special organ that allows them to breathe air. For these fish, this is necessary for survival in habitats that often become too polluted or otherwise oxygen-poor to survive with normal underwater breathing alone. As a result, bettas are able to survive outside of water for several hours at a time, although they must remain moist.
Uncommon in the animal kingdom but certainly not unheard of, betta fathers nest and care for their offspring while the mothers don't participate."
