Fighter Plakat Red Dragon L
The Fighter Plakat Red Dragon L, commonly known as the Red Dragon Betta, is a striking and vibrant fish prized for its fiery red coloration and short, round tail fins. It is a variation of the Betta splendens species and is highly sought after by aquarium enthusiasts for its beauty and personality.
Origin: The Fighter Plakat Red Dragon L is a cultivated variety of the Betta splendens species, but its exact origin is uncertain. Betta splendens, also known as Siamese fighting fish, is native to the shallow waters of Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
Temperature: To keep Fighter Plakat Red Dragon L healthy and active, maintain a water temperature between 76°F to 82°F (24°C to 28°C). They are tropical fish and thrive in warmer water conditions, similar to their native habitats in Southeast Asia.
Housing: Fighter Plakat Red Dragon L bettas should be housed in a well-maintained aquarium with a minimum capacity of 5 gallons. They are solitary and aggressive towards other male bettas, so it's essential to keep them individually to prevent conflicts. Providing hiding spots with plants and decorations will create a stress-free environment for these fish.
Feeding: As carnivorous fish, Fighter Plakat Red Dragon L bettas require a diet primarily consisting of high-quality betta pellets or flakes. To provide a varied and balanced diet, supplement their meals with occasional live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp and bloodworms.
Lifespan: With proper care, a healthy Fighter Plakat Red Dragon L can live for an average of 2 to 4 years. Providing a suitable environment, a nutritious diet, and regular water changes will contribute to their well-being and longevity.
Behavior and Personality: Fighter Plakat Red Dragon L bettas are known for their energetic and territorial behavior. The males, in particular, have a fierce nature and should not be housed together. However, they can coexist with certain peaceful tankmates, as long as the tankmates do not have flowing fins that may trigger aggression.
Please note: We don't ship live animals. You can order Fighter Plakat Red Dragon L bettas online and choose click and collect, and we will hold them for you. These vibrant and expressive bettas require proper care and attention to showcase their brilliant colors and display their charming personalities to the fullest extent.
