What We Love About This Fish:
- Its bold Yellow body and metallic dragon-scale pattern make a dramatic statement.
- Peaceful with non-aggressive species but should be housed without other Bettas.
- Hardy and adaptable to various water conditions.
- Active swimmers that love to show off their vibrant fins.
Natural Habitat:
Bettas originate from Southeast Asia, where they thrive in shallow, slow-moving waters like rice paddies, streams, and ponds. These environments, often filled with vegetation and low water flow, are ideal for their bubble-nest breeding behavior.
Aquascaping Tips:
- Plants: Use Java Fern, Anubias, Bucephalandra, or Marimo Moss Balls for hiding spots and resting areas.
- Hardscape: Smooth stones and Malaysian Driftwood can create natural divisions in the tank.
- Botanicals: Add Indian Almond Leaves to mimic their natural tannin-rich habitat and support their health.
Diet and Feeding:
Bettas are carnivores that thrive on a protein-rich diet. Feed them high-quality Betta pellets or flakes as a staple, with occasional treats like bloodworms or daphnia to enhance their color and health.
Tank Mates and Compatibility:
Bettas are best kept alone or with peaceful tank mates like snails, Corydoras catfish, or small, non-aggressive fish like neon tetras. Male Bettas should never be housed together due to their territorial nature.
