Product Description:
Scientific and Common Names: The stunning Halfmoon Male Betta Fish, scientifically known as Betta splendens, is commonly referred to as a Siamese fighting fish.
Habitat: Native to the rice paddies and shallow waters of Southeast Asia, these Betta fish thrive in warm and calm environments.
Tank Setup: A spacious tank with a minimum capacity of 5 gallons is recommended to provide ample swimming space. Decorate the tank with live or artificial plants, caves, and hiding spots to mimic their natural habitat.
Diet and Nutrition: Halfmoon Male Betta Fish 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: These Betta fish typically grow to a size of 2.5 to 3 inches, with males exhibiting larger fins and vibrant colors.
Behavioral Traits: Known for their aggressive nature, Halfmoon Male Betta Fish are territorial and should be kept alone or with peaceful tank mates. They display stunning fin displays, especially during courtship or when threatened.
Care Level: Moderate. While they require regular maintenance and monitoring of water parameters, they are generally hardy and adaptable.
Breeding and Reproduction: Breeding Halfmoon Male Betta Fish can be a rewarding experience. Separate the male and female until ready to breed, provide a suitable breeding tank with floating plants, and carefully introduce them. The male builds a bubble nest, and the female lays eggs, which the male then fertilizes and guards until hatching.
Health and Disease Prevention: Maintain clean water conditions, regular water changes, and a balanced diet to promote good health. Monitor for signs of common betta diseases such as fin rot, ich, and velvet, and promptly treat any issues that arise.
Optimal Water Conditions: Betta fish thrive in water temperatures between 78-82°F (25-28°C) and a pH range of 6.5-7.5. Use a heater and thermometer to maintain stable conditions. Regular water testing and appropriate filtration are essential.
Lifespan: With proper care, Halfmoon Male Betta Fish can live for 2-4 years, although some have been known to live longer.
Additional Interesting Facts: Betta fish have a labyrinth organ that allows them to breathe air from the water’s surface, making them capable of surviving in oxygen-deprived environments. They come in a wide range of colors and fin types, with the Halfmoon variety being particularly prized for its stunning, fan-shaped tail. These fish are known for their intelligence and can recognize their owners.
