Product Description:

Scientific and Common Names: Betta splendens, also known as Siamese fighting fish.

Habitat: Betta splendens are native to the shallow waters of Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. They are often found in rice paddies, slow-moving streams, and stagnant ponds.

Tank Setup: A minimum tank size of 5 gallons is recommended for a single betta splend. Provide plenty of hiding spots with plants, rocks, and caves. Ensure the tank has a lid as bettas are known to jump. Maintain a water temperature between 76-82°F and a pH level of 6.5-7.5.

Diet and Nutrition: Betta splendens are carnivorous and should be fed a varied diet consisting of high-quality betta pellets, frozen or live foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia. Feed them small portions twice a day.

Size and Growth Rate: Adult male bettas can reach a size of 2.5-3 inches, while females are slightly smaller. Growth rate varies depending on genetics, diet, and environmental conditions.

Behavioral Traits: Betta splendens are known for their aggressive nature, especially towards other male bettas. They are solitary fish and should be kept alone or in a species-only tank. Males are known for their impressive displays of fin flaring and aggression during territorial disputes.

Care Level: Betta splendens require moderate care. Regular water changes, proper feeding, and maintaining optimal water conditions are essential for their well-being.

Breeding and Reproduction: Breeding bettas can be a complex process. Separate the male and female bettas and condition them with high-quality food. Introduce them in a well-planted breeding tank and provide a bubble nest for the male to build. After successful spawning, remove the female to prevent aggression from the male. The male will care for the eggs and fry until they are independent.

Health and Disease Prevention: Betta splendens are generally hardy fish but can be susceptible to diseases such as fin rot, ich, and velvet. Maintain good water quality, provide a balanced diet, and quarantine new fish to prevent the spread of diseases.

Optimal Water Conditions: Betta splendens prefer slightly acidic to neutral water with a temperature range of 76-82°F. The water should be clean and well-filtered, with regular water changes to maintain optimal conditions.

Lifespan: With proper care, betta splendens can live for 2-4 years on average. Some individuals have been known to live up to 5 years or more.

Additional Interesting Facts: Betta splendens are known for their labyrinth organ, which allows them to breathe air from the surface. They have been selectively bred for their vibrant colors and unique fin shapes, resulting in a wide variety of betta splendens available in the aquarium trade.
