HMPK Betta Splendens #T171

Bring a flowing focal point to your freshwater aquarium with a Betta splendens whose half-moon tail opens into a distinctive 180-degree fan. Its balanced outline puts the symmetry and graceful shape of its fins on display in typical indoor lighting.

Place the aquarium along a route you pass often to enjoy the fish throughout the day. A planted layout gives your betta room to swim, with a sheltered retreat nearby for a quieter corner.

• Room to swim: Use an aquarium of at least 5 gallons and keep the water between 76–82°F (24–28°C).
• Freshwater care: Use conditioned water 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.
• Feeding routine: 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.

Settle in for a quiet moment by the tank and enjoy the half-moon fins bringing a graceful presence to your everyday view.
