Sure. As I understand it, they fight all the time.

Probably not. What jurisdiction are you in?

Whether it is ethical to have animals fight for your entertainment/profit. That would be the main one, I think.

@joefromchicago,

But Joe - is there actually a market? It does seem like a real dumb market, I'm just wondering if there is one. No dogs, no chickens - how 'bout fish? Life long fighters, just wondering?

@BillW,

A person who would make bettas fight for their entertainment sucketh mightily and is a moral vacuum.

Did that help?

That wasn't your question. You asked it it was legal or ethical. You didn't ask if there was a market for it. I know nothing about the market potential for fish fights.
