Betta-Dragon Halfmoon

Male Dragon Halfmoon Betta

The Male Dragon Halfmoon Betta is a striking variety of Betta splendens, known for its bold metallic “dragon” scales and dramatic 180° Halfmoon tail spread. With their vivid colors and flowing fins, males are highly sought after as centerpiece fish.

Living Environment:

• Best kept singly in an aquarium of at least 10 liters.

• Prefers warm, stable water between 24–28°C with gentle filtration.

• A planted tank with hiding spots and soft substrate helps reduce stress and allows natural behaviors.

• Avoid housing with other male bettas or fin-nipping tank mates.

Diet:

• Omnivorous with a preference for protein-rich foods.

• Feed a mix of high-quality betta pellets, supplemented with frozen or live foods such as bloodworms, daphnia, and brine shrimp.

• Small, regular feedings are recommended to prevent bloating.

Temperament & Care:

• Males are territorial and should not be kept with other males.

• Hardy when water parameters are maintained, but sensitive to poor conditions.

• With proper care, they can live 3–4 years and reward owners with active displays and vibrant colors.
