What Dumbo Ear Betta look like

The large pectoral fins are vulnerable to nipping and strong current. Keep singly or with calm companions in warm, gentle, well-covered aquariums.
Diet & feeding
Dumbo Ear Bettas are carnivores. Feed quality betta pellets with daphnia, brine shrimp, mosquito larvae, bloodworms, and other small invertebrate foods.
