Betta Fish

Bettas for Sale

Bettas are a fantastic fish for the beginning aquarist or a pet parent who doesn't have a lot of space for a large tank. These colorful fish come in dozens of color and pattern variations, as well as fin types, so there is a perfect betta for everyone! Although bettas can live in a bowl, an ideal home should have a filter to help maintain water quality as well as heater to maintain a comfortable temperature. A habitat with décor to hide or lay in as well as live or silk plants will make your betta feel perfectly at home.

While male bettas have a reputation for being aggressive towards one another and should never be housed together, they can be kept with other community fish in a larger tank. Ideal tank mates are peaceful and not prone to fin-nipping, and nothing large and colorful that a betta could mistake for another betta and want to fight. Females can also be kept in community tanks or in groups called sororities if the tank is large enough and there are plenty of hiding places, however males and females should not be housed together.
