Recommended Setup: Keep in a heated, filtered aquarium with gentle water movement. Live or soft artificial plants, smooth décor, hiding areas, and resting spots near the surface are recommended. Avoid sharp decorations that could damage the Betta's long fins.

Feed a quality Betta pellet as the primary diet, supplemented with appropriately sized frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms.

Tankmates: Male Bettas are territorial and should never be housed with another male Betta. Some individuals can live successfully with carefully selected peaceful tankmates in an appropriately sized aquarium, but temperament varies from fish to fish. Avoid aggressive and fin-nipping species.
