DISCUSSION Aggressive behaviour in animals is important for acquisition and defense of food, mate and their progeny.

One animal or an organism will aggressively attack or fight back their rivals if they felt threaten by the presence of other organism. This is actually to compete to impress female Beta splendens and to ensure that they can mount the females. By doing this, the male will be able to pass on their genes, thus; will ensure the survival of the male Beta splendens genes. Some animals, will act aggressively to protect their progeny from their rival mates since the progeny is actually carry their genes. Secondly, aggressive behaviour is important in avoiding predators and defense against any predatory behaviour from predators. Aggressive behaviour can help animals to fight against their predators through various ways which includes chemical attack once the predator tries to eat them. Aggressiveness in an organism may reduce the risk of predation where this animal shows their aggressive behaviour to the predator by fighting back either individual or in a group. Clustering in a group and attack back by working together with member of same species will gives trauma to the predator. For example is when a cheetah trying to snatch a calf. The mother and the other member of elephant herd will fight back the cheetah (Kikkawa et al., 1971). Aggressive behaviour also important for male to find a suitable female to mounted. It may be that aggregations of males that attract females. This is because aggregations increase signal strength and this would actually grab the attention of females over greater distances. Sometimes, females would try to find a high quality mate and aggressive males that fight may reveal their competitive ability to the females that they fought over will increase the chance of getting chosen by the female (Carthy et al., 1973).

Aggression in animal also critical in defending their territory and social hierarchy. This can be seen in primates where the alpha male will try to protect its space, mates and also its social status. Meanwhile, in the experiment done, both Siamese fighting fish shows different behaviour before and after exposure to one another. However, there is no changes in coloration during exposure for both fish and was similar to that of while they both in isolation. Fin movement was faster and rapid while the opening of the mouth is much more often after exposure than before exposure. Swimming patterns of both males Beta splendens are more varies than before the barrier was taken and the movement of the tails becoming faster and increase in frequency as they exposed to one another. Charging and opercular cover movements were only occurred after the barrier was moved. This changes was the critical changes which is very obvious in both of the Siamese fighting fish. Overall, fish that was labelled B is more active and aggressive than fish A for both observations before and after the barrier was removed. CONCLUSION Thus, it can be conclude that both of males Siamese fighting fish, Beta splendens are possessing aggressive behaviour which only shown when they meet males of same species. Aggressiveness increased as the fish meet each other and this aggressive behaviour probably due to their territorial behaviour where they try to defence their space.
