The Black Dragon Halfmoon Plakat combines dark body colour with heavier dragon-type metallic scaling and the compact tail of a Plakat.

Why you'll love this Betta

Dragon scaling distinguishes it from the plain Black Halfmoon Plakat. Give the fish a balanced, planted environment to appreciate its shape, colours and confident exploratory behaviour.

Care essentials

Scientific name: Betta splendens (domestic ornamental variety)
Recommended tank: a fully cycled heated aquarium of at least 20 litres for one fish, with a secure lid
Temperature: 24–28°C
pH: around 6.5–7.5; maintain stable water quality
Diet: appropriate high-quality Betta pellets supplemented with varied frozen or live feeds

Temperament: territorial; never keep males together
Care level: beginner to intermediate with stable heating and filtration

Habitat and tankmates

Choose soft planting, driftwood and resting leaves, with low-current filtration and easy access to the surface for breathing. Avoid fin-nipping species or competitive feeders. Assess tankmate compatibility individually; a peaceful single-fish display is often ideal. Acclimate gently after delivery.
