Product Description:

Scientific and Common Names:
The stunning Plaket Koi Male Betta Splend Beautiful Fish HMPK belongs to the Betta splendens species, commonly known as the Siamese fighting fish or Betta fish.

Habitat:
In the wild, Betta fish are native to the rice paddies, shallow ponds, and slow-moving streams of Southeast Asia, particularly Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. They thrive in warm, tropical climates.

Tank Setup:
To provide a comfortable habitat for your Plaket Koi Male Betta, a tank of at least 5 gallons is recommended. It should be equipped with a heater to maintain a temperature between 78-82°F (25-28°C) and a gentle filter to ensure water circulation without creating strong currents. Live or silk plants, hiding spots, and smooth substrate are ideal for creating a natural and stimulating environment.

Diet and Nutrition:
Betta fish are carnivorous and primarily feed on small insects, larvae, and zooplankton in the wild. In captivity, they can be fed a varied diet consisting of high-quality Betta pellets, frozen or live foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia. It is important to avoid overfeeding and maintain a balanced diet to prevent obesity and related health issues.

Size and Growth Rate:
The Plaket Koi Male Betta Splend Beautiful Fish HMPK typically reaches a size of 2.5-3 inches (6-8 cm) in length. Growth rate can vary depending on genetics, diet, and environmental conditions.

Behavioral Traits:
Male Betta fish are known for their territorial nature and can display aggressive behavior towards other male Betta fish. They are also known for their stunning displays of finnage during courtship and aggression displays. However, they can coexist peacefully with other peaceful fish species in a community tank, provided proper tank size and compatibility are considered.

Care Level:
The care level for the Plaket Koi Male Betta Splend Beautiful Fish HMPK is considered moderate. While they are generally hardy and adaptable, they require specific water conditions, regular maintenance, and a balanced diet to thrive.

Breeding and Reproduction:
Breeding Betta fish can be a rewarding experience. Male Betta fish build bubble nests at the water surface to protect and incubate their eggs. A separate breeding tank with appropriate water conditions and hiding spots is necessary for successful breeding. It is important to research and understand the breeding process thoroughly before attempting it.

Health and Disease Prevention:
Maintaining optimal water conditions, providing a balanced diet, and regular observation are crucial for the overall health of your Betta fish. Common health issues include fin rot, ich, and swim bladder disorders. Regular water changes, proper filtration, and quarantine procedures for new fish can help prevent diseases.

Optimal Water Conditions:
The Plaket Koi Male Betta Splend Beautiful Fish HMPK thrives in water with a temperature range of 78-82°F (25-28°C) and a pH level between 6.5-7.5.
