The HMPK Betta Splendens #T236 is a precision-bred Halfmoon Betta designed to be the centerpiece of a freshwater aquarium. Building on a celebrated lineage—from #T216 through #T232—#T236 amplifies tail drama and color while preserving a reliably approachable temperament in real-world setups. If you want a living focal point that pairs striking aesthetics with dependable behavior, #T236 delivers.

• Signature tail — show-stopping half-moon tail with nearly 180-degree spread for a bold silhouette that captivates from across the room.
• Vivid, durable color — coloration that stays vibrant under standard home lighting, turning every fin into a statement piece.
• Mindful temperament — tank-friendly behavior with a calm disposition and reliable appetite, bred for predictable feeding responses.
• Compact presence — display-ready size ideal for desktops, small living spaces, or dedicated nano tanks without sacrificing personality.

Who this Betta is for

• Beginners seeking a visually striking centerpiece for a 5-gallon (or larger) freshwater setup that’s approachable to care for.
• Experienced hobbyists wanting a high-contrast focal point to elevate planted aquariums or glass-display tanks.
• Creators and educators looking for a visually engaging focal point in classrooms, studios, clinics, or public displays.

Practical care and setup

• Tank requirements — minimum 5 gallons; stable heater set to about 76–82°F (24–28°C); gentle filter that avoids strong currents.
• Water quality — conditioned freshwater with regular partial water changes (about 25% weekly); aim for pH near 6.5–7.5.
• Layout ideas — soft substrate, live or artificial plants, and secluded corners or dense foliage to reduce stress and showcase the tail.
• Diet and feeding — high-quality Betta pellets or flakes, fed in small portions 2–3 times daily; occasional live or frozen treats as a supplementary reward.
• Tank mates — for best tail health, consider solitary display or peaceful mid-water species in larger setups with careful monitoring and ample swimming space.
• Maintenance mindset — monitor temperature and water parameters regularly to sustain color and vigor; regular, steady feeding supports active fins.

Why this variant stands out

#T236 continues the proven HMPK approach by balancing dramatic tail geometry with reliable, day-to-day behavior. The tail design and color retention reflect deliberate breeding choices aimed at real-world aquariums, not showroom gloss. You’ll get a fish that looks exceptional under home lighting and maintains its character through weeks of routine care, desk-to-desk transitions, and occasional tank rearrangements.
