Converting "Real World" Animals and Vermin

Standard and good!

Right, I'd like to add the "Raging stats" underneath, just to save the DM some time. 'Course we'll have to decide on the regular stats first.

Speaking of which, what stats do you fancy?

Something like Str 13, Dex 10, Con 12, Int 1, Wis 11, Cha 10 (based on a Medium-sized Clownfish) for the abilities?

Medium Animal (Aquatic)
Hit Dice: 3d8+3 (16)
+2 Natural armour
Swim speed 50 ft.?
1d8 damage bite

Okay then, Power Attack for the male's combat feat?

Alertness for their "regular" feat, with skill points evenly divided between Listen and Spot for a +5 modifier to each?

I'd make the Organisation "Solitary or school (1 male and 1-8 females)".

Challenge Rating 2 I suppose, but it's a weak 2.

A raging Male Betta has the following changes to its stats:

Hit Dice: 3d8+9 (22 hp)
Armor Class: 10 (+2 natural, -2 rage penalty), touch 8, flat-footed 10
Base Attack/Grapple: +2/+5
Attack: Bite +5 melee (1d8+4)
Full Attack: Bite +5 melee (1d8+4)
Abilities: Str 17, Dex 10, Con 16, Int 1, Wis 11, Cha 10
Saves: Fort +6, Ref +3, Will +0
Skills: [Listen +5, Spot +5,] Swim +11

Looks good.

I think the "female underbar" needs a little more expansion, just to spell things out a bit more. Perhaps:

Female Giant Bettas
Female bettas are a lot less aggressive. They will only attack out of hungry or in self defense. Females do not possess the males Rage special ability and have the Toughness feat instead of Power Attack, giving them the following changes to their attributes:

Hit Dice: 3d8+6 (19 hp)
Special Attacks: —
Feats: Alertness, Toughness
