The Male Copper Plakat Betta is a breathtaking variation of Betta splendens, known for its shimmering metallic copper coloration that can reflect gold, bronze, and silver hues under proper lighting. The plakat (short-finned) variety gives this betta a sleek, powerful body and enhanced swimming ability, making it more active than its long-finned counterparts. With its bold iridescent shine and aggressive yet elegant demeanor, this Betta is a stunning addition to any 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 Copper Plakat Betta can live 2-4 years, offering a mesmerizing display of metallic brilliance, energy, and personality in any aquarium setup.

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.
