Tails and Scales

The All-New Fluval Betta Premium Aquarium Kit is designed to replicate the natural tropical habitats of B. splendens and comes equipped with custom filtration, natural soft glow LED lighting, and a convenient pre-set heater.

Though wild B. splendens can be found in Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand, the stunning specimens we often see in captivity today are the result of selective breeding combining a variety of species. In Southeast Asia, B. splendens are typically found in rice paddies, ponds, and small streams, which tend to be shallow, slow-moving, quite warm, and dense in vegetatation.
