Betta imbellis

[Scatters]

Hi I am looking to get a wild betta imbellis (sorry spelled wrong) or peaceful betta I need help with a tank setup any advice would be amazing

They're similar to domestic bettas. Best tank size would be 10 gallons. They like around 76-78 degree temps and 6.-7.2 ph. They do well with peaceful rasboras, tetras, and cherry barbs that won't nip at their fins. Most captive-bred ones and some wild caught will take pellets as well as an assortment of frozen and livefoods.

I've had great experience ordering from here, and they will eat pellets:

Ok thank you I was asking more about the aquarium setup itself like substrate hides plants ect

 

[Cyberfish]

Plenty of hiding spots, driftwood, plants, etc. For hiding spots as long as it's well planted with a hardscape (Such as driftwood and rocks) that will create enough. The substrate doesn't really matter as much. I usually use gravel. Don't use any plastic decorations as they might cut themselves on it.

Just noticed this but welcome to Fishlore!

Sometimes if you have a big leafed plant with a leaf slightly out of water the betta will sleep on the leaf outside of water.

Its super cute and unique. You can get some bettas to jump out of the water for food if you hold it out above the water.
