Halfmoon Betta Care Guide
Betta splendens var. Halfmoon · Freshwater Fish
What Halfmoon Betta look like
Halfmoon Bettas are selected for a broad caudal fin that opens into a semicircle. The large fin area is visually dramatic but more delicate than short-finned forms.
Behavior & temperament
Halfmoon Bettas need gentle filtration, warm stable water, smooth decor, and no fin-nipping companions. Males are territorial and generally kept singly.
Diet & feeding
Halfmoon Bettas are carnivorous and should receive quality betta pellets plus daphnia, brine shrimp, mosquito larvae, bloodworms, and other small frozen or live foods.
Behind the name
Halfmoon describes the semicircular tail spread.
Plan your tank
Check the numbers before you buy: tank volume, a stocking plan, cycle progress, water changes, and your ongoing care routine.
