HM Betta Splendens #HM09

Bring a striking focal point to your aquarium with a Half-moon Betta splendens. Its caudal fin spreads into a dramatic 180-degree fan, while the balanced shape of its fins creates a distinctly symmetrical silhouette.

Set up a planted, sheltered scene and enjoy watching your betta swim during a quiet moment at home. Leafy greenery frames its high-contrast outline, and its pigment stays stable under typical indoor lighting.

• 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 each week.
• 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.

Arrange the plants around the retreat to create a calm, leafy view that adds gentle movement to your everyday routine.
