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.
