Size and Lifespan

Reach about 5 cm in body length. With consistent care, they live between 2 and 4 years in suitable conditions.

Ideal Tank Setup

Choose a warm tank with a gentle flow to suit these active tropical fish. Add hiding spots and maintain stable parameters for best health.

To replicate its natural habitat:

• Keep soft, slightly acidic water with low current.
• Include silk or live plants for cover and security.
• Use a heater to hold steady tropical temperatures.
• Provide surface plants for bubble nest building.

Compatible Tank Mates

House alone due to their territorial nature. In very large tanks, careful selection allows limited companionship.

Suitable tank mates include:

• Fast-moving schooling fish in spacious setups.
• Bottom dwellers like small Corydoras (rarely).
• Snails that do not bother the Betta.

Diet and Feeding

Feed these males a mix of high-quality betta pellets and occasional frozen or live foods. Small portions twice daily keep them in top condition without polluting the water.
