The Female Elephant Ear Betta, also known as the Dumbo Betta, is renowned for its impressively large pectoral fins that resemble elephant ears. These oversized fins move gracefully as the fish swims, making them one of the most visually striking Betta varieties. Typically paired with a Halfmoon or Delta tail, Elephant Ear Bettas come in a wide range of vibrant colors and patterns including solid, marbled, koi, and metallic shades. However, females tend to be duller in color compared to males. 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 Female Elephant Ear Betta can live 2-4 years, serving as a stunning and mesmerizing aquatic pet.

Petco takes great care to ensure that the Live Fish, Invertebrates & Plants you order arrives safely and in healthy condition. All Aquatic Life are guaranteed to stay alive for 7 days from the day they arrive at your home or we will gladly refund your money.

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.
Male Bettas should be housed alone. Female bettas can be housed together if provided sufficient space, hiding spots, and food.

Betta fish has ick near its eye
My betta fish has two black patches that resembles eczema on the side of her body and a very small whole on her anal fin. Help
My betta has red tips on his tail and my cat fish Cory has red spots as well
what kind of fish are these? and would they be good with a male betta
is a 10 gallon tank good for 7 betta fish
I recently observed that my new Betta's rear end is swollen, the swelling is more prominent on left but is visible from both sides. Could this be a serious problem?
We recently bought a Betta from a chain store pet shop. He is currently in a 10 gallon tank with a heater. He’s been eating and swimming around, acting fine. The first day we had him I noticed this bump. (Didn’t notice in the petstore but hard to see in those cups they keep them in) Here’s a side shot. Looks like one tiny fluid filled bump, size of a scale. Any ideas?
where do you buy show quality bettas
My female betta has dropsy what can I get her
I have a paradise betta and recently he has lost large chunks out of his tail fin. I don't think it is fin rot and I don't think he has caught it on any sharp edge on decorations in the tank. He is in a filtered 2.5-gallon tank and the only other living thing in the tank is a tiger snail. Can you help me? note: in the pictures, the first one is current but the one of the tank is a couple of weeks old. the only difference now is the leaf bed has been removed.
I am not able to ID my fish. It seems to belong to the family of snakehead bettas. But it is yellow in colour. They belly is a shimmering yellow gradually getting duller towards the tail. the tail and fins are yellow with red borders. Its eyes are blue. It seems to be enjoying staying at the top most of the time. Its not aggressive. Please help me ID my fish
What is wrong with my Bettas end fins?
