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.
