FAQs
What does “Betta Fish by Grade” mean?
It means we sort bettas by overall quality so you can shop faster. Grades are based on health, finnage/form, color quality, symmetry, and rarity. Higher grades usually have cleaner finnage, stronger symmetry, and rarer genetics.
Are lower-grade bettas unhealthy?
No. A Grade and B Grade bettas are still healthy. They may just have small cosmetic issues like slight fin unevenness, minor asymmetry, or less “perfect” patterning compared to top-tier fish.
Do higher-grade bettas live longer?
Not automatically. Lifespan depends more on care, water quality, diet, and stress than grade. A higher-grade fish is typically chosen for looks and condition, but good husbandry is what keeps any betta thriving long-term. Visit this blog to explore the Betta Fish Care Guide.

Let customers speak for us
Beautiful fish and arrived in excellent health!
Good selection. Very nice associates.
I am so impressed with the whole process - prepping of “Ebony” for a five-day period before shipping, the thoughtful packaging, the quick delivery after in transit, and the very clear instructions on what to do once your fish arrives. I followed the instructions very carefully. Ebony recovered so quickly and by the next day was making a profuse amount of nesting bubbles. He is beautiful, apparently happy, and doing quite well. Thanks so much.
Fish arrived in great shape. The acclimation instructions were easy to follow and critical for an easy transition. Very happy with my Betta Fish.
It's a bit out of the way, but I like to stop here anytime I'm in the area. The staff is friendly; responsive to my questions, and has a nice selection.
My guy arrived with some tail damage which is common during the shipping process for long finned bettas from what I understand, he is my first non chain pet store purchase. He’s been acclimated for almost a week with a good appetite, color is vibrant and he is full of energy! Hoping to see his fins repair themselves in the next few weeks
Very knowledgeable staff
Little cuties arrived quickly and acclimated well to my 15 gallon.
I love my little green neons the definitely add color to my tanks
I love them I can’t wait to see how their babies will look like with my females. Good quality fish.
It is a good fish net. It is a bit heavy but it gets the job done.
Absolutely love my super red pleco. She’s been great!
I was initially nervous to order a live betta fish; I am sure we all have heard horror stories! My experience with Splashy Fish was PHENOMENAL and truly could have not gone smoother. Shipping was extremely prompt and you can tell the care that goes into each package! Splashy Fish had an amazing selection of crowntail bettas, which I was looking for, and my new scale-baby Sukuna has settled wonderfully into his planted aquarium! He is so adventurous and very engaging with me. He is a great eater, and knows how handsome he is. I would not hesitate to order another fish from Splashy, and I will definitely be recommending them to other fish-keepers!
Catfish is happy and his new tank, eating well.
The staff is fantastic and friendly and very knowledgeable. The fish are Hardy and doing great
