HMPK Betta Splendens #T226

Bring a graceful focal point to your freshwater aquarium with a Betta splendens whose half-moon tail fans open to a distinctive 180-degree spread. Its balanced outline puts fin symmetry ahead of exaggerated body mass, creating an elegant silhouette to enjoy as it swims.

In a planted tank, a sheltered corner gives this betta a calm place to retreat while leaving room to appreciate its open caudal fin. Under typical indoor lighting, its pigment remains stable, keeping the high-contrast outline easy to see.

• Aquarium space: Provide at least 5 gallons so your betta has room to swim.
• Water conditions: Keep freshwater at 76–82°F (24–28°C) and pH 6.5–7.5; use conditioned water and change 25% each week.
• Gentle filtration: Use 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.

A well-planted aquarium makes a welcoming backdrop for those fan-shaped fins. Settle in beside the tank and enjoy a quiet pause with your betta’s graceful display.
