FCCP Plakat Betta #7
A fancy copper candy plakat in shifting metallic tones over a marbled base. Short-finned and hardy.
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, this fish is unique and should be kept in a properly sized, secure tank.

This plakat is stunning with its metallic copper coloring and marbled base. It’s very active and recognizes me after a few days. I keep it in a 5-gallon tank with a secure lid and a small snail. Feeds well on pellets and frozen foods. Very happy with the purchase.
Julian Burgess –
The fish is beautiful and quite interactive. It comes to the surface when I approach the tank. I feed it small amounts daily and avoid overfeeding. Works well with a peaceful community of small shrimp and snails. Would recommend to others interested in fancy bettas.

Received the #7 plakat and it’s exactly as described. The color shifts beautifully in the light. It’s not shy and seems to enjoy being handled. I made sure the tank has a lid and surface access. Very satisfied with the quality and appearance.
