Her fins carry stronger red and blue tones, giving the fish a richer finish than a standard pastel female.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes her special is the balance. The body is soft and almost pearlescent, while the fins give the colour enough depth to hold attention in a planted tank. Because she is a Plakat female, the shorter finnage keeps her active and streamlined, with a confident, natural shape that works beautifully against wood and greenery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; keeping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eBetta splendens\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSex:\u003c\/strong\u003e Female\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFin type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plakat \/ short-fin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdult size:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 5–6 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24–28°C\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5–7.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended tank:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20L+ for a single female\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beginner to intermediate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA warm, stable aquarium with gentle filtration is ideal.
