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 2.5 gallons is recommended for a single betta splend. Provide plenty of hiding spots with live or artificial plants, rocks, and caves. A gentle filtration system and a heater to maintain a temperature between 78-82°F (25-28°C) are essential.
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 betta splendens can reach a size of 2.5-3 inches (6-7.5 cm) in length, while females are slightly smaller.
Behavioral Traits: Betta splendens are known for their territorial and aggressive nature, especially towards other male bettas. They are also known for their beautiful displays of fin flaring and vibrant colors.
Care Level: Betta splendens are relatively easy to care for, making them suitable for beginner fishkeepers. However, they still require proper tank maintenance, regular water changes, and a balanced diet.
Breeding and Reproduction: Breeding betta splendens can be a rewarding experience. Separate the male and female bettas until they are ready to breed. Provide a suitable breeding tank with floating plants and a bubble nest for the male to build. After spawning, remove the female to prevent aggression from the male.
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 before introducing them to the main tank to prevent the spread of diseases.
Optimal Water Conditions: Betta splendens prefer slightly acidic to neutral water with a pH range of 6.5-7.5. The water temperature should be kept between 78-82°F (25-28°C). Regular water changes of 25-50% every week are necessary to maintain optimal water conditions.
Lifespan: With proper care, betta splendens can live for 2-4 years on average, although some individuals have been known to live up to 5 years.
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, making them popular aquarium fish worldwide. Male bettas are often kept alone due to their aggressive nature, while female bettas can be kept together in a sorority tank under proper conditions.
