HMPK Betta Splendens #T221

A half-moon tail that opens into a distinctive 180-degree fan gives your aquarium a striking focal point. This Betta splendens has a balanced outline that puts fin symmetry ahead of exaggerated body mass, creating a graceful silhouette to watch.

Set up a planted freshwater tank with a sheltered corner so you can enjoy the fish’s open tail as you pause by the aquarium. 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 keep the water between 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% 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.

A well-planted tank makes a welcoming backdrop for this fish’s fan-shaped fins. Make a quiet spot by the aquarium part of your daily routine, and enjoy watching its display.
