Red Crowntail Betta

The Red Crowntail Betta is a true showstopper with its vibrant crimson hue and dramatic crown-like fin extensions. This variety is known for its spiky, comb-like tail and flowing fins that radiate confidence and beauty in any aquarium. Their coloration ranges from deep blood red to brighter scarlet, depending on lighting and health. These bettas are hardy and best kept solo.

While they can tolerate cooler water and live in tanks without heaters, the very cold winters in South Africa can be tough on them. Providing a heater during colder months helps maintain stable, warmer water temperatures — leading to healthier and happier fish.

Bettas thrive on a high-protein diet. Feed them quality betta pellets, frozen foods like bloodworms, daphnia, and brine shrimp to support vibrant color and overall health.

Adding supplements like Seachem Garlic Guard and Azoo Discus Vitamins to your betta’s diet can help boost immunity, improve appetite, and keep your fish in peak condition. These extras, combined with a balanced high-protein diet, go a long way in supporting your betta’s overall health and vibrancy.
