Fighter fish prefer warmer water temperatures ranging from 22-26ºC, so you may require a heater for colder Australian winters. We recommend good filtration for your Bettas, but without a strong current as they prefer slower-moving water. Add some live plants for water quality as well as to provide places for your Betta to hide, making sure not to block their access to the surface of the water.

Beautiful Female Bettas are part of the Osphronemidae family, and are often referred to as Siamese Fighting Fish. A tropical freshwater fish, Bettas are famous for their luxurious fins and tail as well as their wide variety of shimmering colours.   

Bettas originated in Thailand, and were first domesticated over a 1,000 years ago. Initially bred for their beauty as well as for competitive fighting, Bettas have found popularity all over the world for their unique flowing fins, dazzling colours and intelligent active behaviour. 

Male Bettas are famously territorial and aggressive and cannot be kept together in one tank. However, Female Bettas are generally less aggressive. 

We recommend feeding your Bettas Pisces Betta Fish Pellets, Micro Pellets or Tropical Flakes for enhanced nutrition, scale colour, and improved digestion to minimise waste.
