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 Half Moon Bettas are 6cm long and represent a range of Betta subspecies that have been bred to enhance certain qualities - emphasising distinctive colours, and tail fins that open up to form a beautiful semi-circular shape similar to the half-moon from which they get their name.
Don’t keep two male Half Moon Bettas in the one tank. Bettas, particularly males, can be quite aggressive and territorial, although this can vary between individual specimens. Avoid keeping with other male Bettas or similar-looking species, as well as small fin-nipping fish. Half Moon Male Bettas can peacefully cohabitate with other fish and invertebrates if there is sufficient space in your aquarium, but make sure the other inhabitants are settled in and have a chance to establish their territories first.
We recommend feeding your Halfmoon Bettas Pisces Betta Fish Pellets, for enhanced nutrition, scale colour, and improved digestion to minimise waste.
These fish prefer warmer water temperatures ranging from 22-26 degrees celsius, so you may require a heater for colder Australian winters. We recommend good filtration for your Half Moon Male 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.
