The Siamese Fighter Plakat Blue Dragon Male is a breathtaking variety of the Betta splendens species, renowned for its stunning coloration and dynamic physical attributes. This variant is characterized by its short and sturdy Plakat fins, a trait inherited from traditional fighting Bettas, combined with the exquisite blue and white coloration that resembles the scales of a mythical dragon. The "Blue Dragon" descriptor refers to their intense blue coloration, often accented with iridescent scales and sometimes hints of white or other colors, which create a dragon-like appearance. These fish are highly prized for their beauty, vigor, and unique presence in the aquarium.

Origin: This variety, like other Betta splendens, has its roots in Southeast Asia, specifically in the Mekong basin regions. However, the Plakat Blue Dragon is a result of selective breeding to achieve its distinct coloration and finnage.

Temperature: The ideal temperature range for the Siamese Fighter Plakat Blue Dragon is between 24°C to 28°C (75°F to 82°F).

Water Quality: They prefer a pH range of 6.5 to 7.5 and thrive in soft to moderately hard water conditions.

Aquarium Size: A minimum tank size of 20 liters is recommended for a single male Plakat Blue Dragon. The tank should be well-planted with ample hiding spaces and a gentle water flow, given their fin structure.

Feeding: Their diet should include a variety of high-protein foods, such as brine shrimp, daphnia, and specialized Betta pellets, to maintain their vibrant color and overall health.

Lifespan: On average, a Siamese Fighter Plakat Blue Dragon can live between 3 to 5 years, with proper care and a well-maintained habitat.

Behavior and Personality: Male Plakat Blue Dragons are known for their territorial nature and should be kept alone or with carefully selected tank mates. They exhibit a bold and curious personality, often showing off their fins and colors.

Decorative Sand - Silver (650ml)

The postage cost was ridiculous, €9 to post within Ireland is scandalous. However, the sand itself was decent

Skimmia Japonica 'Passion' (3 Litre)
Efficient delivery

I purchased a pair of Simmia Japonica Passion from Newlands last month.
They were delivered within three days, so had them in time for the weekend. They were very well packaged which kept them safe during transit. They were a really healthy pair and are now thriving in the garden.

Venezuelan Suntiger Tarantula | Psalmopoeus irminia (S)
I loved the Venezuelan Suntiger Tarantula, Psalmopoeus irminia,

I loved the Venezuelan Suntiger Tarantula, Psalmopoeus irminia, that I bought from your website. I received excellent service at the store when I went to pick it up, and the employee working that day made herself available in case I had any questions. The tarantula was very healthy and beautiful. I’m very happy when I find well-cared-for animals with proper attention. Excellent.

Esha Whitespot Control Treatment

Perfect, I got a new fish recently but within a couple of days I noticed white spots forming all over him. I found this treatment for such a reasonable price and decided to order it. It solved the problem in 3 days and now my fish is so happy.
