Male Plakat tail Betta

Male Plakat Betta (Betta splendens)
Bold. Beautiful. Built to impress.

The Male Plakat Betta is a short-finned variety of the iconic Betta splendens, bred for vibrant colour, strength, and personality. With their streamlined bodies and lively temperament, Plakats are a striking and active addition to any freshwater setup.

Unlike the traditional long-finned Betta, the Plakat is more agile and robust, making it ideal for aquarists who enjoy a more energetic display fish. Each male showcases unique colouration—ranging from deep blues and fiery reds to exotic marbled patterns.

Care Requirements:
To ensure your Plakat Betta thrives, provide the following conditions:

• Tank Size: Minimum of 10 litres, with 20 litres or more recommended

• Temperature: 24–28°C, with a reliable heater to maintain stable conditions

• pH Range: 6.5–7.5

• Filtration: Gentle flow is ideal; strong currents can cause stress

• Aquascaping: Include live or silk plants, caves, and floating cover to mimic their natural environment

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting preferred

• Tank Mates: Best kept alone or with peaceful, non-fin-nipping species; not suitable for housing with other male Bettas

Diet:
Feed a balanced diet of high-quality Betta pellets, supplemented with frozen or live foods such as bloodworms or brine shrimp to maintain health and enhance colouration.

Each fish is carefully selected and shipped by Top Fin Aquatics, with a focus on health, vitality, and top-tier quality.

A perfect choice for both new and experienced aquarists looking to add colour, character, and movement to their freshwater tank.
