To provide a comfortable and stimulating environment for your Crown Tail Male Betta, a minimum tank size of 5 gallons is recommended. Decorate the tank with live or artificial plants, rocks, and driftwood to create hiding spots and resting places. Ensure the tank has a secure lid as Bettas are known to jump.

Diet and Nutrition:

Crown Tail Male Bettas typically reach a size of 2.5 to 3 inches (6 to 7.5 cm) in length. Growth rate can vary depending on genetics, diet, and overall care.

Behavioral Traits:
Known for their striking appearance and graceful movements, Crown Tail Male Bettas are solitary fish that should be kept alone to prevent aggression. They are highly territorial and may display flaring behavior towards other fish, especially males. Their long, flowing fins and vibrant colors make them a captivating addition to any aquarium.

Once hatched, the male will care for the fry until they are ready to be independent.
