New Bettas and not a cup in sight! Each male gets its own filtered UNS tank with water changes every week.

These tanks are just their temporary housing until they find a forever home! We recommend at least our UNS 5N Aquarium for our new Betta parents, with lots of hardscape and plants to give your fish somewhere to call home.

Come in and find your new best friend!

Betta sp. / Common domestic hybrids, Male & Female
Betta mahachaiensis (locally raised) / Mahachai Betta Pair
Betta rubra (locally raised) / Toba Betta Pairs
