Signature traits

• Show-stopping half-moon tail with a nearly 180-degree spread for a bold silhouette that captivates from across the room.
• Vivid, durable coloration that holds up under standard home lighting, turning every fin into a statement piece.
• Vigor and reliable appetite bred for predictable feeding responses, helping both newcomers and seasoned keepers enjoy a healthy, interactive fish.
• Tank-friendly temperament designed for thoughtfully arranged habitats with hiding spots and gentle water flow to minimize stress.
• Compact, display-ready presence ideal for desktops, small living spaces, or dedicated nano tanks without sacrificing personality.

Care and setup

Tank requirements — minimum 5 gallons, stable heater set to about 76–82°F (24–28°C), and a 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.
