The Male Black Orchid Betta is a mesmerizing, high-contrast beauty prized for its deep, velvety black coloration with iridescent blue or purple undertones, especially on the fins. Often featuring dramatic crowntail or halfmoon fin types, this Betta exudes elegance and mystery. It's a showstopper for any aquascape, perfect as a solitary centerpiece in a beautifully decorated nano tank. Though delicate-looking, they are hardy and intelligent, thriving with proper care in a well-maintained aquarium. A varied diet of high-quality Betta pellets, frozen or live foods such as Bloodworms, Brine shrimp, and Daphnia is ideal for their continued health. A gentle filter is recommended and be sure to prevent strong currents for this Betta. With proper care, the Male Black Orchid Betta can live 2-4 years, serving as a stunning and mesmerizing aquatic pet.

ACCLIMATION: Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. For new aquariums, adding new fish slowly helps to properly develop the nitrogen cycle, which creates a safe environment for your aquatic pets. A bacteria booster may also help develop a new aquarium for your new fish. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried, and frozen food, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller, unfiltered aquariums.
If we need to contact you for any reason about your order, shipping of your package may be affected. Once your order is placed, you will receive a confirmation email with your order summary. Orders are subject to verification of payment information by phone or email. We ship for arrival to the customer Tuesday through Friday and Saturday for an extra charge where available.
Male Bettas should be housed alone. Female bettas can be housed together if provided sufficient space, hiding spots, and food.

My male Crowntail Betta fish is acting very lethargic, he stays at the bottom of the tank and only coming up for air, barely eats, his stomach looks hollow, and the scales along his back are raised. He has been this way for a few weeks but isn't getting better. I change his water weekly, and he lives in an environment where his is not caused stress.
My betta is starting to get black spots on her. What should I do, is this normal?

My betta fish has a bump on his face between his right eye and his mouth. It wasn't there 2 days ago. He also looks like he has some white stuff on him, it looks weblike rather than spots. His behavior and appetite are normal so far. I noticed this yesterday so I did a 100% water change, this morning there seems to be a bit more of the white stuff and the bump is a bit larger.
I got my baby male Betta fish yesterday, I got a few others as well, they are all in the containers they came in seeing as the counter worker told me they could be untill they got bigger, My Male isnt eating the bloodworms in his tank. Im worried, I fed him three times, when I got home from the store, this morning and tonight, there are still pellets in there! Is it caused by stress? How can I save my little Dustin!
My betta fish is bloated and has a dark patch on his left side where the scales are not laying flat. What I tried feeding him a pea, but it didn't help. Please help!
I got a new betta in January, and I'm starting to notice that his tail is fraying a bit. I'm concerned because I have another betta, and his tail is really frayed too, but I thought that maybe he was always like that. But I definitely know that the new bettas fins were not. I have a heater and the chemicals are fine, and I use melafix fish first aid every time I change the water. The first pic is what he looked like before, the next is what he looks like now, and the third one is my other fish.
I have 2 Mystery Snails and a betta in a 3.5G tank. Tank is filtered and has a heater. One snail has not grown at all while the other has nearly doubled in size. He is lathargic and I rarely see him eat his food or even come out of the shell. His shell has turned to a dull dark brown colour and looks to be cracking a little bit. Does this sound like a water issue? Does he sound sick? What can I do to help him. In the last picture, he is the smaller snail in the front.
