Description:
The Longfin Male Betta, also known as the Siamese Fighting Fish, is a captivating freshwater species known for its flowing fins and vibrant colors, ranging from deep reds and blues to iridescent greens and purples. This iconic fish is a favorite among aquarists due to its striking appearance and ability to thrive in smaller tanks. Longfin Bettas are solitary by nature and bring elegance and personality to any aquarium.


Care Level:

  • Ease: Beginner-friendly but requires attention to water quality and conditions.
  • Water Conditions:
    • pH: 6.5–7.5.
    • Temperature: 76–82°F (24–28°C).
    • Hardness: Soft to moderately hard water (3–8 dGH).
  • Tank Requirements:
    • Minimum tank size: 5 gallons.
    • Provide plants and decorations to mimic their natural environment and offer hiding spaces.
    • Requires a gentle filter and low water flow to protect their delicate fins.

Temperament:

  • Behavior: Solitary and territorial, especially with other male Bettas.
  • Compatibility:
    • Best kept alone or in a tank with peaceful tankmates like snails, shrimp, or non-aggressive fish such as Corydoras or small rasboras.
    • Avoid housing with other Bettas, aggressive species, or fish that may nip at their fins.

Size:

  • Adult Length: 2.5–3 inches (6–8 cm).
  • Growth: Compact size, suitable for small to medium aquariums.

Additional Notes:
Longfin Male Bettas are carnivores that thrive on a varied diet of high-quality betta pellets, freeze-dried bloodworms, and occasional frozen foods like brine shrimp. Regular water changes and maintaining stable parameters are essential for their health, as they are sensitive to poor water quality. With proper care, they can live 3–5 years, adding color and elegance to your tank.
