Description
Blue Badis hail from the slow-moving waters across South Asia. Growing up to 8cm in length, male Blue Badis are renowned for their unique ability to change colour from a dull brown to an electric blue, extremely quickly, based on their mood, the environment and mating status. Male Blue Badis can be extremely territorial with other male Blue Badis. We recommend keeping three or more female Blue Badis to one male Blue Badis in your aquarium. Keeping multiple males, even in larger aquariums can lead to extreme aggression and territorial behaviour Blue Badis are shy fish that benefit from dense vegetation, driftwood and rock formations to help them feel secure in their environment and to help them to identify territories.
At Wirral Aquatics we feed our Blue Badis EBO Pro Soft Artemia powder and live and frozen foods including brine shrimp and daphnia.

Ordering livestock
We strive to ensure that we honour all orders placed online. However, we are a small, busy shop and tracking livestock inventory can be challenging. If we are unable to fulfil your order, we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss options so that you can decide how you would like to proceed.
If livestock are appearing out of stock on our website, it does not necessarily mean that they are not available in store. If there is something that you are looking for, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss what is possible.
If you would like to view footage of the particular fish that you are looking to purchase, please contact us and we will send footage as per your request.
