Take a look at this stunning Blue Dragon Betta splendens. The metallic dragon scale pattern and deep blue colouring give it a truly mythical presence in the aquarium.
Bettas are full of character and they also have some fascinating biological traits.
They are air breathing Anabantoids
Their labyrinth organ allows them to breathe atmospheric air. It is completely normal to see them rise to the surface for a quick breath.
They build bubble nests when breeding
Males create floating bubble nests at the surface then carefully place the eggs inside and guard them until they hatch.
While Bettas will tolerate small aquariums they are genuinely happier and more active in larger spaces. A twenty gallon setup gives them room to explore, display natural behaviour and enjoy a far healthier environment.
A beautiful fish with unique behaviour and a personality that always stands out
