Crowntail Betta Fish
The crowntail betta, or rooster tail betta, is a popular betta variation and really looks amazing when displaying against another male (just let him see his reflection in a mirror). The fins look like the crown of a rooster.
Male bettas cannot be kept with other bettas, but they get along fine with most other aquarium species.
There are many names for the particular betta color patterns, but most are variations of blue and/or red colors. Fish pictured here are representative only. If you are looking for a specific coloration, add a note to the order or simply allow us to choose one of our favorites for you!

The crowntail betta is absolutely stunning. Its flowing fins create a beautiful visual effect in the tank. It’s peaceful and active, and it’s easy to care for. I didn’t have any issues with water parameters or feeding. A great addition to any freshwater aquarium.

I was impressed by how vibrant the colors are, especially in the light. The fish is active and shows off its fins well. I’ve kept it with some peaceful community fish, and it’s not aggressive. Just make sure to keep it alone from other males.
