🍽 Food

  • Type: Carnivorous (micro-predator)

  • Diet: Premium betta pellets, frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, daphnia, mosquito larvae.

  • Feeding Frequency: 1–2 times daily, small portions only.

🛠 Maintenance

  • Weekly water changes: 20–30% (keeps fins bright and healthy).

  • Gentle filtration – avoid strong currents.

  • Provide driftwood, plants, and resting areas like betta hammocks.

  • Heater required to maintain stable tropical temperatures.

🤝 Social Behavior

  • Minimum Group Size: Single (males are aggressive and territorial).

  • Tank Mates: Peaceful, calm species such as corydoras, kuhli loaches, small rasboras, nerite snails, and shrimp (with caution).

  • Avoid: Other male bettas, fin-nipping fish (tiger barbs, guppies), or aggressive tankmates.

✅ Do’s

  • Provide a minimum 10–15L tank (larger tanks are better).

  • Use proper lighting to enhance body–fin contrast.

  • Feed a protein-rich, varied diet.

  • Keep water clean to maintain bright fin coloration.

❌ Don’ts

  • Don’t keep multiple males together.

  • Don’t add fin-nippers or aggressive fish.
