Beautiful Female Bettas in assorted colours 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 aggressive temperament. 

With a varied range of colours, and an intelligent, inquisitive demeanour, these Female Bettas make excellent showcase fish. 

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. 

Beautiful Female Bettas in assorted colours represent a range of Betta subspecies that have been bred to enhance certain qualities - emphasising distinctive colours, and the shape and length of their graceful fins and tail. 

Male Bettas are famously territorial and aggressive and cannot be kept together in one tank. However female Bettas are generally less aggressive. They can be kept in a sorority of multiple females within the one aquarium, even peacefully cohabiting with other fish and invertebrates, provided there is sufficient space. Be sure to avoid keeping your female Bettas with fin-nipping fish. 

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

Fighter 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 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.
