Male Betta

Male betta fish are vibrant, solitary freshwater pets known for their large, flowing fins and territorial behavior.

Tank Requirements:
• Size: Minimum of 5 gallons (10 gallons preferred) with a gentle filter.
• Temperature: Maintain tropical warmth between 75–80°F using an aquarium heater.
• Setup: Include a secure lid (they jump) and resting spots like live or silk plants.

Care and Behavior:
• Solitary Living: Never house two male bettas together, as they will fight. They can sometimes share a tank with peaceful, non-aggressive bottom-dwellers or small fish, depending on the individual's personality.
• Diet: Feed high-protein carnivorous pellets or frozen foods like brine shrimp and bloodworms once or twice daily.
• Lifespan: Typically live between 3 to 5 years with proper water quality and care.
