Crown Tail Betta

(Betta splendens)

The Crown Tail Betta is a striking and elegant variant of the Siamese Fighting Fish, known for its dramatic, spiked tail rays that resemble a royal crown. This unique fin structure gives the fish a bold, fringed appearance, making it a standout centerpiece in any aquarium. Crown Tail Bettas come in a wide variety of vibrant colors, from deep blues and reds to more rare metallics and marbles. Their beauty, combined with their curious and confident behaviour, makes them a popular choice for hobbyists of all experience levels.

Care Guide

Tank Size:
• Minimum 5 gallons per fish
• Larger tanks improve stability and allow more natural movement

Water Parameters:
• Temperature: 76–82°F (24–28°C)
• pH: 6.5–7.5
• Water Hardness: Soft–Moderate

Filtration & Flow:
• Gentle filtration is ideal — Bettas dislike strong currents
• Perform 25–40% water changes weekly to keep water clean

Diet:
• High-quality betta pellets as a staple
• Supplement with frozen or live foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia
• Feed small portions 1–2 times daily

Temperament & Tank Mates:
• Males must be kept singly — they will fight other male Bettas
• Can be kept with peaceful, non-fin-nipping tank mates like:

• Small rasboras

• Corydoras

• Snails

• Shrimp (if the betta is calm — monitor closely)

Decor & Environment:
• Plenty of plants (live or silk) to rest on and explore
• Smooth décor with no sharp edges to protect delicate fins
• Use a secure lid — Bettas are excellent jumpers
