Giant Plakat Betta by LiveAquaria
Plakat Bettas are part of the Betta splendens genus and species that is popular among home aquarists around the world. Because of careful breeding, the colorations, tail size, and formation are quite expansive and add to their prized specimen status.
With a cylindrical body that is typical among Plakats, they have stockier bodies with no curves. The body color migrates beyond the base of their brightly colored fins in iridescent splendor. Adding to their dramatic look is the presence of metallic dragon scales. These multi-colored Bettas are striking specimens that are highly sought after for home aquarists’ freshwater aquariums. Although female Bettas are also eye-catching, LiveAquaria® is offering the larger male option.
Plakat Bettas share the same care requirements as other Bettas.
