Group care guide

Bettas (fighting fish)

  • A heated, filtered tank of at least 5 gallons, with gentle flow and plants.
  • Domestic B. splendens should generally be maintained alone. Other Betta species need their own compatibility plan; B. imbellis can be maintained as a pair with adequate cover.
  • Betta pellets plus frozen foods.
