Product Information

Know More About Betta Fish

Betta Fish are best kept as a deliberately planned single-fish setup rather than treated as a bowl fish. Stable warm water, gentle filtration, cover, resting places and regular maintenance create a much more suitable environment.

Because Betta splendens are carnivorous, choose a species-appropriate protein-rich food and keep portions controlled. A calm aquarium with broad-leaved plants or other safe resting areas can also make the habitat more functional.

If you are considering tank mates, make the decision around the individual betta, aquarium volume and temperament rather than assuming every betta is community-safe.
