A pearl-platinum short-fin Plakat with broad, enlarged Elephant Ear pectoral fins. The modest caudal length gives this fish a neat athletic form rather than the extended tail of a Halfmoon longfin.

Why you'll love this Betta

This listing is specifically a short-fin Plakat, separate from a Platinum Dumbo Ear Halfmoon. 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

Provide gentle filtration, broad resting leaves near the surface, easy access to air, and a secure lid. Avoid strong currents and fin-nipping tankmates. Observe interactions closely if sharing a larger aquarium with peaceful species. Acclimate gradually after arrival and offer a quiet settling period.
