Care Guide for Betta Crowntail White Platinum

1. Tank Setup:

   • Minimum tank size: 10 liters (2.5 gallons), though a 20-liter (5-gallon) tank provides more comfort.
   • Use soft substrate and add decorations like driftwood, smooth rocks, and live or silk plants for hiding and resting spots.
   • Keep lighting low to moderate to avoid stressing the fish and to highlight its iridescent coloration.

2. Water Parameters:

   • Temperature: 24-28°C (75-82°F).
   • pH: 6.5-7.5.
   • Water hardness: Soft to moderately hard.

3. Diet:

   • Provide a balanced diet of high-quality betta pellets and live or frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia.
   • Occasional treats help maintain vibrant health and boost immune function.

4. Behavior:

   • Territorial and best kept alone; avoid housing with other bettas.
   • Compatible with peaceful, non-fin-nipping tankmates like snails or shrimp.
   • Active and curious, often interacting with its environment and owner.

5. Maintenance:

   • Perform 20-30% water changes weekly to maintain clean and healthy conditions.
   • Use a gentle filter or sponge filter to avoid strong currents that could stress its delicate fins.
   • Monitor for signs of fin damage or infections, as Crowntails are prone to fin rot if water quality declines.
