The Snow White Halfmoon Betta is absolutely stunning. The red and white coloration is vivid and the metallic sheen on the scales is impressive. I’ve kept it for three months and it’s very calm, only showing interest in floating plants. Easy to care for and fits perfectly in my 5-gallon tank.

Beautiful fish with a unique look. The halfmoon tail stands out in the tank. I’ve noticed it swims gently and doesn’t stress other tank decorations. Just make sure it’s alone, as it can become aggressive if kept with others.

Great addition to my home aquarium. The fish is active but not too much, and its color remains vibrant even after a few weeks. I appreciate the clear instructions and the quality of the packaging.
