Halfmoon White Platinum Dumbo Betta

The Halfmoon White Platinum Dumbo Betta, also known as the Halfmoon Platinum Dumbo Betta, is a selectively bred variant of the Betta splendens species. It is a freshwater fish commonly kept as a pet due to its unique appearance and ease of care. These fish are native to Thailand, Cambodia, and nearby regions, but are now widely available in the aquarium trade.  This Betta variant has a unique appearance with its large pectoral fins that resemble ears or wings, hence the name "dumbo". The fins are typically white or pale silver in color, while the body is a metallic platinum color. The tail fin is a distinct half-moon shape that gives the fish its name.  The Halfmoon White Platinum Dumbo Betta is a small fish that typically grows to a length of 2-3 inches (5-7.5 cm).

Like other Betta species, the Halfmoon White Platinum Dumbo Betta is carnivorous and should be fed a diet high in protein. They can be fed a variety of commercial Betta pellets, frozen or live foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia.

Male Halfmoon White Platinum Dumbo Bettas have longer, flowing fins and are generally more colorful than females. Females are typically smaller in size and have shorter fins.

Breeding Betta fish can be a complex process and requires specific conditions. Males are typically aggressive towards females, and should be separated after spawning to prevent further aggression. Females can lay up to 100 eggs, which the male will fertilize and guard until they hatch.

Betta fish are susceptible to various diseases such as fin rot, ich, and velvet. Providing a clean and well-maintained aquarium environment can help prevent these diseases. Quarantining new fish before introducing them to an existing aquarium can also help prevent the spread of diseases.

The Halfmoon White Platinum Dumbo Betta is a selectively bred variant of the Betta splendens species, which is native to Thailand, Cambodia, and nearby regions.

Male Betta fish can be aggressive towards other males, so they should be kept singly or in a species-specific aquarium with plenty of hiding places. Additionally, it is important to provide a well-maintained aquarium environment with suitable water conditions to prevent diseases.

When introducing a new Halfmoon White Platinum Dumbo Betta to an aquarium, it is important to acclimate the fish slowly to prevent shock or stress. This can be done by slowly adding small amounts of the aquarium water to the water the fish is currently in over a period of several hours until the water parameters match.
