Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens) are a much beloved species for beginner and experienced fish keepers alike. Domesticated bettas are quite difference in appearance to their wild cousins, with intense colors of all shades and long trailing fins. While these adaptations would be detrimental to the blackwater habitats of their native Thailand, where they would be a slow-moving and brightly colored snack, in a tank these features make them a living gem.
Dumbo Ear Bettas feature short tails, unlike many other domesticated betta varieties. Instead, their pectoral fins are large and dramatic.
Bettas are a solitary fish, especially regarding members of the same species, but every betta is different in regards to their social tolerances. Some bettas can happily be housed in community tanks, some with only frogs and snails, and others must be housed alone for the safety of other creatures.
Bettas can breathe air from the surface, and while this means they can survive in tanks without filters, we recommend fully cycled, filtered tanks for their health, safety, and longevity.
