Female Betta

Female Betta (Betta splendens)

While male bettas get the spotlight for their flowing fins, female bettas offer vivid colour, hardy personalities, and the unique ability to be kept together in a "sorority" tank. Active, curious, and full of character, they're a fantastic choice for a planted nano or community setup. We do note that a sorority tank is recommended for experienced keepers only*

Care at a Glance:

• Minimum Tank Size: 40L (sorority) with plants and hiding spots
• Temperature: 24–28°C
• pH Range: 6.0–7.5

• Temperament: Peaceful but can be territorial with other females
• Diet: Betta pellets, flakes, frozen bloodworms and brine shrimp
• Max Size: 5–6cm
• Lifespan: 3–5 years
• Care Level: Easy

Tank Mates: Peaceful community fish such as tetras, corydoras, and rasboras; keep sororities of 5+ females in a heavily planted tank to spread aggression.
