Platinum White Plakat Betta - Male

Platinum White Plakat Betta

Male Plakat Betta (Betta splendens)
Pure. Powerful. Unmistakable.

The Platinum White Plakat Betta is a striking short-finned variety of Betta splendens, prized for its solid pearlescent white coloration, athletic build, and confident personality. With its streamlined body and metallic sheen, this Betta stands out as a true centrepiece in any freshwater aquarium.

Unlike traditional long-finned Bettas, Plakats are more agile and robust, making them an excellent choice for aquarists who enjoy an active, alert display fish. Each male exhibits unique tone and lustre, ranging from soft snow-white to bright platinum hues that shimmer under aquarium lighting.

Care Requirements

To ensure your Platinum White Plakat Betta thrives, provide the following conditions:

• Tank Size: Minimum 10 litres (20 litres or larger recommended)

• Temperature: 24–28°C with a reliable heater

• pH Range: 6.5–7.5

• Filtration: Gentle flow preferred; avoid strong currents

• Aquascaping: Live or silk plants, caves, and floating cover to provide security

• Lighting: Low to moderate

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

Diet

Feed a high-quality Betta pellet as a staple diet, supplemented with frozen or live foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, or daphnia to promote health and enhance coloration.

Each fish is hand-selected and shipped with care by Top Fin Aquatics, ensuring excellent health, vitality, and premium quality on arrival.

A perfect choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists seeking a clean, elegant, and active Betta to elevate their freshwater setup.
