Solo swim: the fighting fish raised alone in Vietnam

23 Sept 04:58 Key points summarised by AI

Tran Ngoc Thang operates a successful farm in Hanoi, specializing in breeding Siamese fighting fish (betta fish) for over two decades.
To prevent their aggressive nature from causing clashes, each fish is individually housed, often in recycled plastic and glass bottles collected from local sources.
Thang's innovative method of using modified bottles simplifies daily care, including water changes and feeding, ensuring the fish's well-being and preventing fights.
Although historically bred for combat, these vibrantly colored fish are now primarily valued for ornamental purposes, with Thang selling 3,000-4,000 annually.

Myanmar's detained Nobel laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, received a package from Britain's King Charles III, which included two gardening books, a sealed envelope, and diplomatic communication.
The event marked the first release of images of Suu Kyi in two months and saw Myanmar authorities describe her as a "special female prisoner" for the first time.
Suu Kyi, who was deposed in a 2021 military coup that triggered an ongoing civil war, remains under house arrest on charges that rights groups contend are politically motivated.
