Dumbo Betta Female Turquoise 3cm (Betta splendens)
Female Bettas are vibrant, characterful fish with slightly more compact finnage than males. Ideal as a feature fish in a warm, planted aquarium with gentle filtration and plenty of cover. This variety is known for oversized pectoral fins ('dumbo' ears).
Origin: Captive-bred variety of the Siamese fighting fish, originally from Southeast Asia’s warm, shallow, slow-moving waters.
Feeding: Carnivorous—offer a high-protein betta pellet or micro-granule as a staple, supplemented with frozen/live foods like brine shrimp, daphnia, or bloodworm in small portions.
Tank Mates: Can work with peaceful, non-nippy community fish and bottom dwellers in a well-planted tank (individual temperament varies). Avoid fin-nippers and aggressive species; snails are usually safe and shrimp may be hunted.
Aggression: Semi-aggressive; generally less intense than males but can still be territorial and may chase tank mates.
Experience Level: Beginner-friendly with stable warm water and good maintenance.
Water Parameters: Temperature 75-82°F (24-28°C), pH 6.5-7.5, hardness 3-12 dGH; gentle filtration and consistent heating are recommended.
