Scientific and Common Names:

Habitat:
Halfmoon Nemo Bettas are native to the shallow waters of Thailand and Cambodia. They are typically found in rice paddies, slow-moving streams, and shallow ponds.

Tank Setup:
– Tank Size: A minimum of 5 gallons is recommended for a breeding pair.
– Filtration: A gentle filter is preferred to avoid strong currents that may damage the betta’s delicate fins.
– Temperature: Maintain a water temperature between 78-82°F (25-28°C).
– Lighting: Provide a well-lit tank with a natural day-night cycle.
– Decorations: Include live or artificial plants, caves, and hiding spots to create a comfortable environment for the bettas.

Diet and Nutrition:
Halfmoon Nemo Bettas 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. It is important to avoid overfeeding to prevent obesity and related health issues.

Size and Growth Rate:
Adult Halfmoon Nemo Bettas can reach a size of approximately 2.5-3 inches (6-8 cm) in length, including their flowing fins. Growth rate may vary depending on the quality of care and nutrition provided.

Behavioral Traits:
Halfmoon Nemo Bettas are known for their vibrant colors and long, flowing fins. They are generally peaceful but can be territorial, especially during breeding. Males are more aggressive and should be housed separately unless breeding.

Care Level:
Moderate. While Halfmoon Nemo Bettas are relatively hardy, they require proper tank conditions, regular water changes, and a balanced diet to thrive.

Breeding and Reproduction:
Breeding Halfmoon Nemo Bettas can be a rewarding experience. Separate the male and female bettas until they are ready to breed. Provide a well-planted breeding tank with a bubble nest for the male to build. Once the female displays vertical stripes and the male builds a nest, introduce them and monitor their behavior. After successful breeding, remove the female to prevent aggression from the male.

Health and Disease Prevention:
Maintaining clean water conditions, providing a balanced diet, and avoiding overcrowding are essential for preventing diseases. Regular water testing, proper filtration, and quarantine procedures for new fish can help ensure the health of your bettas.
