HM Betta Splendens #HM19

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 fins create a distinctly symmetrical silhouette.

In a planted, sheltered aquarium, the betta’s high-contrast outline stands out against leafy greenery. Watch it swim during a quiet moment at home, with pigment that stays stable under typical indoor lighting.

• Room to swim: Provide an aquarium of at least 5 gallons, with water kept between 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 plants around the retreat to create a calm, leafy view with gentle movement. It brings a composed, colorful presence to your everyday routine.
