Scientific and Common Names:
The stunning half-moon male green betta is scientifically known as Betta splendens. It is commonly referred to as a betta fish or Siamese fighting fish.

Habitat:
In the wild, betta fish are native to the shallow waters of Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. They inhabit rice paddies, slow-moving streams, and even stagnant water bodies.

Tank Setup:
To provide a comfortable habitat for your stunning half-moon male green betta, a minimum tank size of 5 gallons is recommended. The tank 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, as well as hiding spots such as caves or driftwood, should be included to mimic their natural 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 provide a balanced diet to maintain their health.

Size and Growth Rate:
Stunning half-moon male green bettas typically reach a size of 2.5-3 inches (6-8 cm) in length, including their flowing fins. Growth rate can vary depending on genetics, diet, and overall care.

Behavioral Traits:
Betta fish are known for their vibrant colors and impressive fin displays, especially in males. They are territorial and may exhibit aggressive behavior towards other male bettas or fish with similar appearances. It is recommended to keep them in a single-species tank or with peaceful tank mates. They are also known to build bubble nests at the water’s surface during breeding.

Breeding and Reproduction:
Breeding betta fish can be a rewarding experience. Males build bubble nests and court females by displaying their vibrant colors and flaring their fins. After successful mating, the female lays eggs that the male fertilizes and guards in the bubble nest. It is important to provide a separate breeding tank and closely monitor the process to ensure the survival of the fry.

Health and Disease Prevention:
Maintaining optimal water conditions, providing a balanced diet, and avoiding overcrowding are essential for preventing diseases in betta fish. Common health issues include fin rot, ich, and velvet. Regular observation, quarantine of new fish, and prompt treatment when necessary can help keep your stunning half-moon male green betta healthy.
