Betta Smaragdina #T195

Give your aquarium a striking focal point with a half-moon betta whose tail opens into a distinctive 180-degree fan. Its balanced silhouette puts fin symmetry ahead of exaggerated body mass, creating a clear, graceful outline among aquarium plants.

Place the tank where you can enjoy the fish’s open tail against a planted backdrop and a sheltered retreat. Its pigment remains stable under typical indoor lighting, making it easy to appreciate as part of your daily routine.

• Room to swim: Provide an aquarium of at least 5 gallons to support the open caudal fin.
• Stable temperature: Keep the water at 76–82°F (24–28°C), and place the aquarium away from direct airflow to limit temperature swings to below one degree per hour.
• Freshwater care: Use conditioned freshwater at pH 6.5–7.5 and change 25% of the water 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.

Settle in nearby and watch the fin symmetry and high-contrast outline stand out against the planted aquarium. A quiet viewing spot lets you enjoy this distinctive display as a calm pause in your day.
