Description
Plakat Betta Assorted Pair's Male & Female 3cm (Betta splendens)
A matched male and female Betta intended for experienced keepers or breeding projects. Bettas are territorial, so provide dense cover and be prepared to separate the pair if chasing or stress occurs. This variety is known for short-finned, active build.
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: Not recommended for permanent community housing as a pair; keep with care and be ready to separate. If housed with other fish, choose peaceful, non-nippy species and provide plenty of cover.
Aggression: High risk of chasing—only introduce together with supervision and the ability to separate immediately if needed.
Experience Level: Intermediate; best for keepers comfortable managing aggression and separating fish if required.
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.
