Description
Standard Betta Male Purple Base 3cm (Betta splendens)
Male Bettas are bold, colourful feature fish with strong personality and striking finnage. They do best as a single showcase fish in warm, stable water with gentle flow and plenty of hiding places.
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: Best kept alone or with peaceful, non-nippy tank mates in a suitably sized, well-planted aquarium (temperament varies). Avoid fin-nippers and do not house with other bettas; snails are usually safe and shrimp may be hunted.
Aggression: Semi-aggressive and territorial; males are best kept singly and may flare or 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.
