Betta Fish- Dumbo Ears

The Dumbo Ear Halfmoon Plakat Betta is a stunning variant of Betta splendens, renowned for its unique and large ear-like pectoral fins and broad, flowing tail. This betta displays a variety of vibrant colors that make it a standout addition to any aquarium. Bred for both its beauty and resilience, the Dumbo Ear Halfmoon Plakat combines striking aesthetics with hardiness.Originating from the shallow waters of Southeast Asia, Bettas inhabit slow-moving, often stagnant bodies of water like rice paddies and shallow streams. They thrive in densely vegetated areas with minimal water flow, which helps them create bubble nests during the breeding process.

Bettas are carnivorous and thrive on a varied diet rich in protein. Offer a staple diet of high-quality betta pellets or flakes, supplemented with occasional treats like bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia for optimal health and colour.

Bettas prefer to be kept alone or with peaceful tank mates such as snails or small, non-aggressive species like Corydoras catfish or neon tetras. They do not tolerate other male bettas or any other bettas, as they are territorial and can become aggressive.
