HM Betta Splendens #HM03

Give your aquarium a striking focal point with a Half-moon Betta splendens. Its caudal fin opens into a dramatic 180-degree fan, and its balanced silhouette brings the symmetry of its fins into view. Against leafy greenery, its high-contrast outline stands out, while stable pigment under typical indoor lighting keeps its shape easy to enjoy during everyday viewing.

Arrange plants and a curved retreat to create a sheltered corner where you can watch your betta during a quiet moment at home.

• Room to swim: Provide an aquarium of at least 5 gallons and keep the water at 76–82°F (24–28°C).
• Freshwater care: Use conditioned freshwater at pH 6.5–7.5 and change 25% of the water weekly.
• Gentle filtration: Choose a sponge or hang-on-back filter on low flow to help prevent fin compression.
• Sheltered layout: Add soft substrate, dense live or artificial plants, and a curved ceramic or PVC retreat in a back corner.
• Daily feeding: Offer premium pellets or flakes twice daily, with frozen brine shrimp once a week.
• Steady placement: Keep the aquarium away from direct airflow to maintain temperature swings below one degree per hour.

With its fan-shaped tail framed by planted greenery, this betta brings a vivid point of interest to your aquarium viewing routine.
