Female Elephant Ear Bettas are prized for enlarged, fluttering pectoral fins that resemble tiny wings against their compact body. This selection contains standard/plain colours only; specialty patterns are not included.

Why you'll love this Betta

The prominent pectoral fins, not a long male tail, are the defining feature. A carefully planned aquascape with living plants, shaded resting areas and calm flow brings out this ornamental Betta's natural movement and individuality.

Creating the right home

Observe interactions closely if sharing a larger aquarium with peaceful species. Acclimate gradually after arrival and offer a quiet settling period.
