What GloFish Betta look like

GloFish Bettas are fluorescent domestic Betta splendens. The fluorescent trait changes color, not the need for warm clean water, surface access, and appropriate fin care.

Behavior & temperament

Male bettas are usually kept singly. They need a heated, filtered tank with gentle flow, cover near the surface, and no fin-nipping tank mates. Do not keep two males together.

Diet & feeding

GloFish Bettas are carnivorous micropredators. Feed quality betta pellets, frozen or live daphnia, brine shrimp, bloodworms, mosquito larvae, and small insect-based foods.

Behind the name

Splendens means shining or splendid; GloFish refers to the fluorescent domestic line.

Plan your tank

Check the numbers before you buy: tank volume, a stocking plan, cycle progress, water changes, and your ongoing care routine.
