I mean are you really into Bettas?

Finatics Tropical Fish has a complete line of Marina Betta Homes, supplies and food.

We have Betta splendins (The Siamese fighting fish) in many colors and tail styles,

Including the Jumbo fighters and Black Orchid Bettas, The Fighting Bettas are not the only Bettas Finatics has.

 

Finatics has a large selection; in fact I believe the largest selection In Washington of rare Bettas including many wild varieties.  Males and females of many of the Bettas we carry can be housed together

These Bettas, can be housed with small fishes such as Tetras and make a unique addition to any community aquarium as long as the fish are not too active and aggressive.  Here are a few of the interesting Betta species we have in stock.  All of these fish appreciate thawed frozen Blood Worms, Brine and live Black worm. Avoid Flake food as they will rarely eat it and almost always starve if that is all that is offered. Temperatures between 75 to 80f and make sure that the filtration turbulence is minimal as strong current is not tolerated by these small fish.

The Red Fire Betta

               Betta rutilans can be housed in pairs, species tanks, and community tanks.  Pairs can be housed in a 5 gallon tank, groups should be housed in a 20 gallon tank or larger.  Pairs should be given cover such as caves and plants.  In a pair or species situation it is possible that fry could be discovered in the tanks.  For best results remove a brooding male. Betta rutilans comes from blackwater environments and like to have soft acidic water that is well filtered.  They should be kept at cool to mid 70s F.
