Super Delta Betta (Betta splendens)

Description:
The Super Delta Betta is a stunning variant of the popular Betta splendens, renowned for its vibrant colors and elegant, broad-tail spread. This breed is a step above the traditional Delta Betta, showcasing a tail that forms a wide, triangular shape, almost reaching the iconic “half-moon” look without fully closing. Super Deltas are available in a spectrum of dazzling colors including deep reds, rich blues, striking purples, and even bi-color or marbled patterns, making them a favorite among both novice and experienced aquarists. Known for their active and curious nature, Super Delta Bettas are a captivating addition to any home aquarium.

Care Guide:

Tank Requirements:

• Tank Size: Minimum 5 gallons recommended for a single Betta.

• Water Temperature: 76–82°F (24–28°C). Bettas are tropical fish and need warm water.

• Water Parameters: pH 6.5–7.5, soft to moderately hard water.

• Filtration: Gentle filtration preferred. Strong currents can stress Betta fins.

• Decor: Provide plenty of hiding spots with live or silk plants, caves, or decorations. Avoid sharp objects that may tear delicate fins.

Feeding:

• Diet: Carnivorous. Feed high-quality Betta pellets as the staple diet. Supplement with frozen or live foods like brine shrimp, bloodworms, or daphnia.

• Frequency: 2–3 small feedings daily. Remove uneaten food to maintain water quality.

Behavior:

• Super Delta Bettas are territorial and best kept alone in a tank. Male Bettas may fight if housed together.

• Compatible tank mates: peaceful species like snails, shrimps, or small schooling fish in a community tank, with caution.

Maintenance:

• Regular water changes (25–30% weekly) help maintain water quality and vibrant coloration.

• Monitor for signs of fin rot or stress, especially in younger or newly introduced Bettas.

Special Notes:

• Bettas breathe atmospheric air using their labyrinth organ, so ensure the tank is covered but has space for surface access.

• Super Delta Bettas are relatively hardy, but their long fins are susceptible to damage, so handle with care during cleaning or tank maintenance.
