HMPK Betta Splendens #T220

Bring a graceful focal point to your aquarium with a Betta splendens whose half-moon tail opens into a striking 180-degree fan. Its balanced outline and symmetrical fins create an elegant silhouette without exaggerated body mass.

In a planted freshwater tank, a sheltered corner gives this betta a calm setting to display its open tail. Under typical indoor lighting, its pigment remains stable, keeping the high-contrast outline easy to appreciate.

• Room to swim: Provide an aquarium of at least 5 gallons and maintain water at 76–82°F (24–28°C) to support the open caudal fin.
• Freshwater care: Use conditioned water at pH 6.5–7.5 and change 25% 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.

Set the aquarium where you can pause beside it during the day and enjoy watching the fan-shaped fins against a leafy backdrop.
