Giant Koi Halfmoon Plakat Betta, Male (Betta splendens)

The Giant Koi Halfmoon Plakat Betta is a freshwater fish with a breathtaking, vibrant color pattern covering its body and fins in red, orange, white, black and blue. Metallic scales catch the light and add to the visual interest of this dramatic looking Betta. The Multicolor Giant Betta grows to a noticeably larger size than other Betta varieties.

The Giant Koi Halfmoon Plakat Betta shares the same care requirements as other Betta splendens varieties. As such, only one male Betta should be kept in an aquarium. In the natural environment, Bettas live in slow or standing bodies of water, such as floodplains, canals, and rice patties so do not require a larger tank environment as other fish, but care should be taken not to house them in jars or bowls. Refer to the Quick Stats above for proper aquarium requirements for this Giant Betta variety. With an easy care level, even beginning hobbyists can achieve success keeping this beautiful species.

The Giant Koi Halfmoon Plakat Betta is a carnivore and should be offered a varied diet including quality flake foods, pelleted Betta food, and frozen or freeze-dried bloodworms and brine shrimp.
