The Male Halfmoon Mustard Betta (Betta splendens) is a stunning variant renowned for its caudal fin, which spreads 180 degrees, resembling a half-moon. This particular colour morph typically features a dark body contrasted by vibrant yellow or orange fins, creating a striking mustard effect.
As solitary and territorial fish, male Bettas are best kept individually in their own aquarium. They thrive in warm tropical conditions with stable water parameters and appreciate a diet rich in protein.
