HMPK Betta Splendens #T173

Give your freshwater aquarium a graceful focal point with a Betta splendens whose half-moon tail opens into a distinctive 180-degree fan. Its balanced outline highlights the symmetry of its fins, creating an eye-catching display in typical indoor lighting.

Place the aquarium along a route you pass often, so you can enjoy the betta’s flowing fins throughout the day. A planted setting gives the fish room to swim and a sheltered place to retreat.

• 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.
• 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 a calm retreat nearby, this betta brings a flowing presence to the everyday view of your aquarium.
