-
Tank Size: Provide a tank of at least 5 gallons for a single Half Moon Betta. Larger tanks offer more space for swimming and decor.
-
Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions with a temperature range of 78-80°F (25-27°C), a pH level of 6.5-7.5, and soft to moderately hard water.
-
Filtration: Use gentle filtration to ensure good water quality and minimal water movement. Bettas prefer calm waters and can struggle with strong currents.
-
Aquascape: Create an environment with live or silk plants, driftwood, and hiding places like caves and ceramic decorations. Bettas appreciate resting spots near the water surface.
-
Tank Mates: Half Moon Bettas can be territorial and should be kept alone or in a species-only tank. Avoid housing them with other aggressive or fin-nipping fish.
-
Diet: They are carnivorous and thrive on a diet of high-quality betta pellets, live or frozen foods like brine shrimp and bloodworms, and occasional treats such as daphnia or small insects.
