Koi Candy Plakat #10
A koi-marbled plakat in red, white and black over a candy base. Short finnage and a bold irregular pattern.
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 part of a limited collection.

My Koi Candy Plakat #10 is very active and recognizes me after a few days. I feed it small portions daily and keep the tank covered. It’s a striking fish with a bold pattern and seems to enjoy being near the surface.

The red, white, and black marbling is beautiful. It’s not shy and comes to the surface when I approach. I avoid long-finned fish and keep it with snails. Needs a lid, but it’s worth it.
Richard Arnold –
This is a unique plakat with a strong personality. It responds to my presence and swims actively. I use frozen foods occasionally and keep feeding small. The pattern is very vivid and stands out in the tank.
