HMPK Betta Splendens #T235

Add a vivid focal point to your freshwater aquarium with a Betta splendens. Its flowing fins and half-moon tail open into a distinctive 180-degree fan, easy to admire in typical indoor lighting.

Place the aquarium along a route you pass often, so you can pause and watch your betta move through the water. A planted layout with a sheltered retreat gives it places to swim and rest.

• Room to swim: Use an aquarium of at least 5 gallons to give your betta space to move.
• Freshwater conditions: Keep conditioned water at 76–82°F (24–28°C) and 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.
• 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.

Set the tank somewhere you naturally pause during the day. Those distinctive fins bring a moment of quiet interest to your room as your betta swims through its planted space.
