Live Betta Aquarium Fish

Betta fish are beautiful to look at and peaceful to watch. They thrive in fish bowls and special tanks, especially those with live or imitation plants. These fish are easy to care for, making them a low-maintenance exotic pet.

How can you tell the gender of the Betta fish?
  • Color- Males have brighter colors, while females have lighter bodies. Red, green, or bright blue on the fishs body is a good sign its a boy.
  • Fin - Males have longer, showier fins that can be double or triple their body height. Females have shorter ones, and their ventral fin (on their underside) looks similar to a comb.
  • Egg Spots-If you look closely, a female will have a white spot about the size of a grain of sand located on its underside in front of the ventral.
  • The Mirror Trick - If you put a mirror beside the fish tank, a male Betta will flare up, showing off his pretty fins and tail.
