Koi Betta Round Tail Nemo

The Nemo Koi Betta is an even rarer color variant of the rare koi betta, bred to show primarily red and orange colors. The nemo pattern is named for the famous and fictional Disney star. In fact, this show betta color pattern is similar to the classic saltwater clownfish. The pictured betta is 3 inches, fully matured with full color; the betta we ship will get there, but it is 2 inches.

Quick Facts

Care Guide

Tank setup: Give him a heater (bettas are tropical fish), a gentle filter and live or silk plants. Plakats are active swimmers and like room to patrol. Keep a lid on the tank and leave a gap of air under it, since bettas breathe from the surface.

Feeding: Feed a few betta pellets or a pinch of flake once or twice a day. Bettas overeat easily, so small meals are best. They also enjoy frozen bloodworms.

Tankmates: Never keep two male bettas together. Plakats are among the boldest bettas, so they do best alone or with sturdy, peaceful fish like corydoras and snails. Avoid fin-nippers and other labyrinth fish.

Good to know: Koi and galaxy bettas carry the "marble" gene, so their colors and patterns can shift throughout their lives. No two look alike for long. Short plakat fins make them sturdy, active swimmers.
