Overview
An intelligent fish with individual personality.
Betta splendens are freshwater labyrinth fish known for their vivid colouration, flowing fins and highly individual behaviour.
Unlike many fish, bettas can breathe atmospheric air using a specialised labyrinth organ. They still require clean, heated and properly maintained water.
A well-designed betta habitat should provide gentle flow, warm stable water, plants, cover, open surface access and comfortable resting places.
