The Female Koi Candy Roundtail Betta is a vivid burst of color with a personality to match! This selectively bred beauty features marbled hues of red, orange, yellow, and black—mimicking the elegant patterns of ornamental koi fish. Her rounded tail and flowing fins give her a softer, more balanced appearance compared to traditional bettas, making her a standout in nano tanks and planted aquascapes.

Fun Facts:

• "Koi" refers to the marbled coloration, which continues to shift slightly as the fish matures. No two fish look the same!

• Roundtail bettas are a gentler alternative to halfmoons or plakats—elegant without extreme fin extensions.

• Females can be housed in sororities (groups of 4–6) with care, but must be introduced cautiously and monitored for compatibility.

Diet:
Carnivorous. Feed a varied diet of high-quality betta pellets, frozen or live foods such as bloodworms, daphnia, and brine shrimp.

Compatibility:
Can coexist with peaceful, non-aggressive species like small rasboras, corydoras, and snails. Avoid long-finned or aggressive tankmates. Not suitable for tanks with male bettas unless breeding.
