Betta Splendens Crowntail Male
⚠️ Level: Moderate — should be kept solitarily.
The Betta Splendens Crowntail Male owes its name to the serrated, crown-shaped fins that make this variant so recognizable. Please note: males are territorial and aggressive towards conspecifics and should never be kept in the same aquarium with another male or a female — the female will not survive this.

✂️ Care
Always keep solitarily, in an aquarium with plenty of plants and low current — 30 to 50 liters is more than sufficient for one male. The Betta mainly stays in the upper water layer of the aquarium.
🐠 Combination tip
Never put two Bettas (males with each other, or male and female) together in the same aquarium — this will lead to injuries or worse. It is best kept alone, possibly with very peaceful bottom dwellers at a distance.
