BETTA

In nature, some species attract attention with an elaborate display of color and dance; others intimidate or camouflage using metachrosis, the process of rapidly changing pigmentation and design. In this CG animated film Manor explores an alternative take on the Betta fish, also known as the Siamese fighting fish, which are naturally aggressive and highly territorial creatures. Here competition is not in a battleground but through display, with synchronised movement and colour.
