Betta splendens. A female Siamese fighting fish from halfmoon lines. Shorter fins than males, but still colourful and full of character.
Needs a heated, filtered tank with gentle flow, plants and a lid. Avoid fin-nipping tank mates.
Carnivore. Betta pellets or quality flakes, with frozen or live bloodworm, brine shrimp and daphnia. Feed small amounts once or twice a day.
Bubble-nest builder. Breeding needs a dedicated tank and an experienced keeper, as males can be aggressive towards females.
