My Japanese fighting fish is called a Betta Fish?

Well actually I just learned that my Betta fish is also called
a Japanese fighting fish. Maybee? It also seems that when I first started
doing some research on betta’s I was spelling it as Beta Fish.
I did feel kind of stupid until I saw many other people were
doing the same thing. My little friend seems to have a few
different names. Some are not correct and some I just learned.

Correct ( I think? )

Betta
Betta Splendens
Siamese Fighting Fish

No so Correct ( Need to learn more still )

Chinese Fighting Fish
Japanese Fighting Fish

I was checking things out in Wikipedia so I will give you the link
to see for yourself.
