Crowntail Betta Care Guide
Betta splendens var. Crowntail · Freshwater Fish
What Crowntail Betta look like
Crowntail Bettas are domestic Betta splendens with reduced webbing between extended fin rays. The crown-like edges are most obvious in males and can occur in many colors.
Behavior & temperament
Care is standard for domestic bettas: warm water, gentle flow, surface access, and usually one male per tank. The extended rays can tear, so use smooth decor and avoid fin nippers.
Diet & feeding
Crowntail Bettas need a protein-rich betta diet: quality pellets, daphnia, brine shrimp, mosquito larvae, bloodworms, and other small invertebrate foods.
Behind the name
Crowntail refers to the crown-like fin-ray extensions.
Plan your tank
Check the numbers before you buy: tank volume, a stocking plan, cycle progress, water changes, and your ongoing care routine.
