-
Tank Size: Provide a tank of at least 5-10 gallons for a single Dumbo Betta, allowing ample swimming space.
-
Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions with a temperature range of 76-82°F (24-28°C), a pH level of 6.5-7.5, and soft to moderately hard water.
-
Filtration: Use gentle filtration to avoid strong currents, as Betta fish prefer calmer waters. Ensure the water is clean and well-oxygenated.
-
Aquascape: Create a well-planted tank with live or silk plants and floating leaves, which provide resting spots for the Betta. Include hiding spots like caves and driftwood.
-
Tank Mates: Dumbo Bettas are typically best kept alone. They are territorial and may display aggression toward other Betta fish or tankmates with long, flowing fins.
-
Diet: Feed them high-quality betta pellets, flakes, and live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms. Offer a varied diet to meet their nutritional needs.
