Betta (Betta splendens)

Description:

• Also known as Siamese Fighting Fish.

• Known for their vivid colours and flowing fins.

Care Guide:

• Tank Size: Minimum 15–20 L per fish.

• Diet: Carnivorous – feed quality betta pellets, frozen or live foods (bloodworms, brine shrimp).

• Temperament: Territorial, especially males. Keep singly or with peaceful, non-fin-nipping tankmates.
