Candy Plakat #11
A marbled candy plakat in soft pastel colour, short-finned and individually patterned.
Feeding
A carnivore. Quality betta pellets as a staple, with frozen bloodworm, daphnia and brine shrimp. Prone to overfeeding, so keep portions small.
Compatibility
Must not be housed with another betta of any sex outside controlled breeding. Avoid fin-nippers such as tiger barbs, and avoid other long-finned fish. Small peaceful shoalers and snails generally work well.
Behaviour and personality
Genuinely interactive and quick to recognise its keeper. Breathes atmospheric air via the labyrinth organ, so unobstructed surface access is essential.
Before you buy
A well-fitted lid is not optional; bettas jump. As a numbered individual specimen, the fish is unique and not interchangeable.

Wanda McDonald –
The Candy Plakat #11 is a stunning fish with unique marbled patterns. It recognizes me immediately and comes to the surface when I approach. I keep it in a 5-gallon tank with a secure lid and a small group of snails. Feeding is easy with a mix of pellets and frozen foods. Very active and responsive.

Beautiful pastel coloration and short fins make it stand out. It’s quite interactive and seems to enjoy being near the surface. I avoid keeping it with other bettas or fin-nippers. The only thing I wish was a bit more information on tank size.

This is a rare and lovely specimen. The marbled pattern is one-of-a-kind. It breathes at the surface and stays calm in a quiet environment. I’ve kept it for three months and it’s thriving with regular feeding.
