Description
Description
The Betta hendra, also known as the Hendra Betta, is a captivating and lesser-known member of the Betta fish family. Originating from the dark, tannin-rich waters of Borneo’s peat swamps, this species has begun to capture the hearts of aquarists worldwide. Let’s dive into the fascinating world of the Hendra Betta:
-
Appearance:
- The Hendra Betta boasts vibrant colors, intricate fin patterns, and a unique overall appearance.
- Its slender body and short fins give it an elegant and streamlined look.
- Depending on the individual, you may find variations in color, including shades of red, blue, and iridescence.
-
Natural Habitat:
- The Hendra Betta thrives in the Sabangau River basin in Central Kalimantan, Borneo, Indonesia.
- In the wild, it inhabits peat swamp forests shaded by trees and bushes.
- These dark, acidic waters are filled with decomposing leaves, branches, and other organic materials.
-
Tank Setup and Care:
- To replicate their natural habitat, provide a clean tank with live plants and a low pH (between 4.0 and 6.6).
- Maintain a temperature range of 24°C to 28°C (75°F to 82°F).
- A tank size of 10 to 15 gallons is suitable for a single Hendra Betta.
- Due to their origins in Southeast Asia, they prefer warmer water.
-
Behavior and Community Tank Compatibility:
- Unlike some other betta species, the Hendra Betta is less aggressive.
- It can be a good choice for a community tank, but always monitor interactions with tankmates.
- Provide hiding spots and gentle water flow to keep them comfortable.
-
Breeding and Lifespan:
- Breeding Hendra Bettas can be a rewarding experience, although it requires some expertise.
- Their lifespan in captivity ranges from 4 to 6 years.
In summary, the Hendra Betta’s unique beauty and lesser-known status make it a captivating addition to any aquarium. I
