Description
Siamese fighter fish, or betta fish, are freshwater tropical fish native to Thailand and Cambodia. These stunning fish are renowned for their vibrant colours and flowing fins.
At Wirral Aquatics it is our belief that every male betta is unique and for this reason we will individually showcase each fish so that you can select the right fish for you.
It is important to note that male betta fish should not be kept in the same tank as any other betta fish as they will fight and it will result in a fatality.
We strongly advise that male bettas are kept within their own tank without any tank mates as they can struggle to tolerate tank mates. Some people may report that their betta lives in harmony with other fish, but each betta is unique in temperament and their ability to ‘tolerate’ tank mates can change at any time.
Betta fish require a tank size with a minimum of 20 litres. They thrive in planted tanks; plants can offer places for the betta to rest near the surface of the water as well as providing natural filtration of the water.
Betta fish enjoy a very mild water flow in their aquarium as they are not strong swimmers. Try to avoid any sharp objects or ornaments in their aquarium as their fins are extremely delicate.
At Wirral Aquatics we feed our bettas a range of protein rich foods, including EBO Pro Soft artemia, Pro soft Mussel and live foods such as daphnia, brine shrimp and blood worm.

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.
