Size and Lifespan

This male betta starts at around 6 cm and reaches a max size of approximately 7-8 cm. With attentive care that includes stable water conditions and a balanced diet, many live 3 to 5 years, so you enjoy their active presence for quite some time.

Ideal Tank Setup

Set up a spacious tank with gentle filtration to keep water clean without strong currents that tire this fish. Include plenty of plants and hiding spots so the betta feels secure while he explores.

To replicate its natural habitat:

• Maintain soft, slightly acidic water conditions
• Add live or silk plants for cover and enrichment
• Provide a low-flow filter and heater for stability
• Include a smooth substrate and occasional floating plants

Compatible Tank Mates

Choose peaceful companions that avoid nipping fins or competing aggressively for space. Larger tanks allow safer interactions, but always monitor behaviour closely during introductions.

Suitable tank mates include:

• Snails such as nerite or mystery snails
• Shrimp like cherry or Amano varieties
• Small, non-fin-nipping schooling fish in groups
• Corydoras catfish that stay near the bottom

Diet and Feeding

Feed high-quality betta pellets as the main diet, and supplement with frozen or live foods such as bloodworms and brine shrimp. Offer small portions twice daily to maintain energy without overfeeding, and remove any uneaten food promptly to protect water quality.

Breeding and Behaviour of Pink Candy Giant Galaxy Koi Halfmoon Plakat Male

Males build bubble nests when ready to breed, and they display active flaring to show dominance or attract mates. This variety behaves more like wild ancestors due to its plakat form, so it swims energetically and explores the tank with confidence. Provide calm surroundings to reduce stress and encourage natural behaviours.
