π Betta Fish Have Arrived! π
π«§ Our recent shipment of Betta fish has completed the standard quarantine period and is now available in store. We also have Giant Betta fish available.
β What makes Giant Bettas different?
Giant Bettas are a larger variety of Betta splendens, growing up to 5 inches, compared to typical bettas that are around 2β2.5 inches. They have a strong build and shorter fins, with a wide, halfmoon-shaped tail when flared.
β¨ Stop by the store to see our Bettas in person. Our team is happy to answer questions and chat about proper care to help you find the right fit. π
