HMPK Betta Splendens #T196

Give your aquarium a striking focal point with a half-moon Betta splendens whose tail opens into a distinctive 180-degree fan. Its balanced silhouette puts fin symmetry ahead of exaggerated body mass, while stable pigment under typical indoor lighting keeps its high-contrast outline easy to enjoy.

Set the tank where you can watch the open tail fan against plants and a sheltered retreat. It makes a planted aquarium a rewarding spot to pause and observe the fish’s distinctive shape.

• Tank and temperature: Provide at least 5 gallons and keep water at a stable 76–82°F (24–28°C) to support the open caudal fin.
• Water care: Use conditioned freshwater at pH 6.5–7.5 and change 25% weekly.
• 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.

With its fan-shaped tail framed by greenery, this betta brings a distinctive outline to your daily aquarium viewing.
