Betta Unimaculata Product Description

Overview:

Betta unimaculata, also called the "one-spot betta," is a stunning freshwater species native to the slow-moving waters of Indonesia. Unlike its more aggressive Betta splendens relatives, Betta unimaculata is a peaceful fish that thrives in community tanks. With its elongated body, earthy tones, and iridescent hues, it’s a favorite among aquarists looking for a unique and low-maintenance species.


Water Conditions:

  • Temperature: Maintain water temperatures between 24°C–28°C (75°F–82°F) for optimal health.
  • pH Range: A slightly acidic to neutral pH of 6.0–7.5 is ideal.
  • Hardness: Keep water softness moderate, with a general hardness (GH) of 4–10 dGH.
  • Tank Setup: Mimic their natural habitat by incorporating:
    • Dim lighting to reduce stress.
    • Live plants like Anubias or Java Fern for hiding spots.
    • Driftwood or leaf litter to replicate tannin-rich blackwater.
    • Good filtration with minimal water flow, as they prefer calm environments.

Tank Mates:

Betta unimaculata is notably less aggressive than other bettas, making it an excellent choice for community tanks. However, care should still be taken when selecting tank mates:

  • Compatible Tank Mates:
    • Peaceful species like tetras, rasboras, and corydoras catfish.
    • Other non-aggressive, similarly sized fish.
    • Shrimp and snails can coexist, but avoid overly small species that may be seen as prey.
  • Avoid:
    • Fin-nipping species like barbs.
    • Other labyrinth fish, which could lead to territorial disputes.

Feeding Habits:

Betta unimaculata are opportunistic carnivores with a preference for high-protein diets. To ensure they thrive:

  • Diet:
    • Offer a mix of live, frozen, and prepared foods, such as:
      • Live or frozen brine shrimp
      • Bloodworms
      • Daphnia
      • High-quality carnivore pellets
    • Supplement their diet with occasional treats to mimic variety found in the wild.
  • Feeding Schedule: Feed twice daily, offering only as much as they can consume in 2–3 minutes to avoid overfeeding.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Tank Size: A minimum of 20 gallons is recommended for a small group or a single specimen.
  • Behavior:
    • Males and females can coexist peacefully when paired correctly.
    • Betta unimaculata are mouthbrooders, with males carrying eggs in their mouths until hatching—a fascinating behavior for hobbyists to observe.
  • Water Changes: Regular water changes (25–30% weekly) are essential to maintain water quality.
  • Health Tips:
    • Monitor for signs of stress, such as lethargy or lack of appetite.
    • Quarantine new tank mates to prevent the spread of disease.

Why Choose Betta Unimaculata?

  • Peaceful nature makes them ideal for community tanks.
  • Hardy and adaptable to a range of water conditions.
  • Unique appearance and breeding behavior captivate aquarists of all levels.
