Habitat:
In the wild, Betta Splendens 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 environments.

Tank Setup:
To provide a comfortable habitat for your Stunning Crown Tail Betta, a minimum tank size of 5 gallons is recommended. It is important to include hiding spots, such as plants or caves, to mimic their natural environment. A heater is essential to maintain a stable water temperature between 78-82°F (25-28°C). Additionally, a gentle filter and regular water changes are necessary to maintain water quality.

Diet and Nutrition:
The diet of the Stunning Crown Tail Betta consists primarily of high-quality Betta pellets or flakes. It is also beneficial to supplement their diet with frozen or live foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, or daphnia. Feeding should be done in small portions, once or twice a day.

Size and Growth Rate:
The Stunning Crown Tail Betta typically reaches a size of 2.5-3 inches (6-8 cm) in length. Growth rate can vary depending on factors such as diet, water conditions, and genetics.

Behavioral Traits:
Known for their striking appearance, Crown Tail Bettas are generally peaceful fish. However, males can display aggression towards other male Bettas, especially when housed in close proximity. It is important to provide each fish with its own space to prevent territorial disputes.

Care Level:
The care level for the Stunning Crown Tail Betta is considered moderate. While they are generally hardy fish, proper tank setup, water conditions, and regular maintenance are crucial for their well-being.

Breeding and Reproduction:
Breeding Crown Tail Bettas can be a rewarding experience. However, it requires careful preparation and knowledge. A separate breeding tank with appropriate nesting materials and controlled water conditions is necessary. The male builds a bubble nest, and the female lays eggs that the male fertilizes and guards until they hatch.

Health and Disease Prevention:
Maintaining optimal water conditions, providing a balanced diet, and avoiding overcrowding are key factors in preventing diseases. Regular observation of your Stunning Crown Tail Betta’s behavior and appearance is important to detect any signs of illness. Quarantining new fish before introducing them to an established tank can also help prevent the spread of diseases.

Optimal Water Conditions:
The Stunning Crown Tail Betta thrives in water with a temperature range of 78-82°F (25-28°C). The pH level should be around 6.5-7.5, and the water hardness should be between 5-20 dGH. Regular water changes of 25-50% every week are necessary to maintain water quality.

Lifespan:
With proper care, the Stunning Crown Tail Betta can live for approximately 2-4 years. However, some individuals have been known to live longer under optimal conditions.

Additional Interesting Facts:
– The stunning appearance of the Crown Tail Betta is a result of selective breeding, which has led to the development of various tail shapes and vibrant colors.
– Betta Splendens are labyrinth fish, meaning they have a specialized organ called the labyrinth organ that allows them to breathe air from the water’s surface.
– The name “Siamese Fighting Fish” originated from the historical practice of pitting male Bettas against each other in fights, a tradition that has significantly decreased in recent years due to increased awareness of animal welfare.
