Description
The Male Tiger Koi Plakat Betta is a striking variant of Betta splendens, featuring a bold koi-inspired pattern with vibrant shades of orange, red, black, and white resembling a tiger's markings. The plakat (short-finned) trait enhances its agility and strength, making it an active and hardy swimmer compared to long-finned bettas. Each Tiger Koi Plakat Betta has a unique color pattern, ensuring no two fish look alike. Its fiery colors and lively personality make it a captivating centerpiece for 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 Tiger Koi Plakat Betta can live 2-4 years, offering a vibrant and energetic presence in any home aquarium. Its bold tiger-like coloration, unique patterns, and engaging behavior make it a favorite among Betta enthusiasts.

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.
