Female Betta Plakat
Plakat Bettas are gorgeous freshwater fish that many people are interested in owning. Their stunning colours and fins appeal to just about anyone!
Species Summary
Plakat Bettas are a lesser-known version of the famed Betta Fish (Betta splendens). These fish are much closer in appearance to their wild counterparts, sporting a less dramatic tail and more robust built. But make no mistake: Plakat Bettas are still in high demand!
Water Parameters
The good thing about these fish is that they aren’t super demanding with water conditions. In fact, it’s one of the easiest aspects of Plakat Betta care.
Anything is a step above the murky rice paddies they’re used to!
These fish are pretty adaptable and can easily thrive in standard tropical fish conditions. They prefer warm conditions and slightly acidic water. You can use almond leaves to lower the pH and provide some tannin-infusion that closely resembles their natural habitat.
Ultimately, these fish are easy to please! As long as you stick within the basic ranges below, they should do just fine.
- Water temperature: 72°F to 82°F
- pH level: 6.0 to 7.5
- Water hardness: 2 to 12 dKH
