Size and Lifespan

She measures around 5 cm in body length on arrival and grows to a maximum of approximately 6–7 cm. With stable water parameters, regular feeding and low-stress conditions, these females often live 3–5 years, providing ongoing enjoyment for attentive owners.

Ideal Tank Setup

Create a comfortable tank using gentle filtration and reliable heating to keep conditions even. Include plants, resting spots and open areas so she moves freely while having secure places to pause when desired.

To replicate its natural habitat:

• Maintain soft, slightly acidic water year-round
• Position live or silk plants for cover and breaks
• Install a heater and low-flow filter for steady warmth
• Allow surface access with floating plants nearby

Compatible Tank Mates

Choose calm companions that do not nip at fins or compete aggressively for space. Spacious tanks reduce potential issues, yet you should always introduce new fish slowly and monitor their adjustment closely.

Suitable tank mates include:

• Snails such as nerite or ramshorn varieties
• Small shrimp like cherry or ghost types
• Peaceful schooling fish in groups of six or more
• Bottom-oriented corydoras that avoid upper levels

Diet and Feeding

Provide premium betta pellets as the core diet and supplement with frozen bloodworms, daphnia or brine shrimp several times weekly. Feed small portions twice daily, remove uneaten food promptly, and adjust quantities to her activity level for optimal health and clean water.
