About
The Purple Crowntail Betta combines the dramatic spiked ray extensions of the crowntail form with a deep violet-to-purple coloration that is highly prized and relatively difficult to achieve in selective breeding. The extended crown rays fan outward magnificently and catch light in shifting hues. A truly regal specimen for the dedicated betta keeper seeking an unusual color form.
Care Guide
House singly in a 15L+ filtered, heated tank. Perform 30–50% weekly water changes. Feed frozen bloodworms, artemia, quality betta pellets. Avoid fin nippers. Maintain 24–28°C. Purple coloration can fade in poor lighting or suboptimal conditions — ensure warm-spectrum lighting and excellent water quality to maintain hue.
