Betta Fish
Looking for betta fish for sale that actually look like the photos and arrive healthy? You’re in the right place. Our Betta Fish collection brings together a wide range of colors, patterns, and tail types, so whether you want a calm little centerpiece for a nano tank or a bold show fish for a planted aquascape, you can browse and choose what fits your style and budget. Bettas (also known as Siamese fighting fish) are popular for a reason: they’re full of personality, they’re interactive, and they can be absolutely stunning when kept in the right setup.

We regularly stock a mix of classic and rare varieties, including:
- Halfmoon bettas for big fin spread and display looks
- Plakat bettas for a stronger swimmer with shorter fins
- Dumbo bettas with oversized pectoral fins

- Pattern favorites like Koi, Galaxy, Marble, and Fancy bettas

FAQs:
Are betta fish good for beginners?
Yes. Bettas are one of the best beginner freshwater fish when kept in a heated, filtered tank with clean water and a good diet. They’re hardy, interactive, and don’t need a large aquarium.
What size tank does a betta fish need?
A betta can live in a smaller aquarium, but for best results we recommend 3–5 gallons minimum for one betta, and bigger is always easier to keep stable. Avoid unheated bowls.
What temperature is best for betta fish?
Most bettas do best at 76–82°F (24–28°C). A heater is strongly recommended for a stable temperature and lower stress. Visit our article for more information about How to Care for Betta Fish.
Are your betta fish healthy and ethically sourced?
We focus on healthy, well-conditioned fish and carefully handle packing and shipping. Our goal is to ship fish that arrive active, colorful, and ready to settle in.
Do you ship betta fish across the USA?
Yes. We ship betta fish for sale within the USA from our Virginia-based fish store, packed to help reduce stress during transit.
Let customers speak for us
The shrimp from this store are much higher quality compared to other online sellers that I've purchased from. They are healthy and have great solid coloration with little to no transparency.
Very healthy fish
I was very excited about this sand, it’s the finest grain size of these types of pebble shaped gravel I’ve been able to find, excellent for adding detail to river type aquariums!
I enjoy going to splashy fish. They have a great variety of aquatic plants, fish, and other aquatic life. Very knowledgeable staff and incredibly friendly. I highly recommend you take a trip and see what they have. Their tanks are always clean or under maintenance, which is nice to see. Additionally, they won’t try to sell you something that won’t work in your tank or work for you. For instance, I was looking for some specific plants and a couple of the plants were pre-shipped to them and didn’t look great and they would not sell them to me which is pretty awesome. You’ve got to go in and check them out. They’re worth the drive if you’re not Close
Harlequin Rasbora
Anyone of Vietnamese descent in need your help we together must pushback against this republican🚩 aquarist from Canada who believes a male adult republican🚩 severum cichlid candidate beat a male 12 inch kissing gourami🔵 in a territorial situation we must tell him NEVER.
The fish arrived pale but only around 5 minutes after acclimation, it started exploring the tank and was very active.
Ordered 7 Clown Killifish and 7 Emerald Rasboras to add to the small schools I already had and they all are doing great. There is so much activity in the tank now. They are all healthy and adjusted quickly to their new home.
These tetras looked very healthy and colorful in store, with bright red eyes, so I added to my existing school. Very hardy little fish. Great store with friendly staff.
They looked super healthy and colorful in store so picked up a couple to add to my existing school of fish. Staff is super helpful and friendly.
All the fish I purchased, and the donation fish all assimilated well And are thriving
Bought four bettas over some time….all were great and arrived healthy.
Wow… the day they arrived they had no color…. The NEXT DAY they were calmed down and acclimated to their new surroundings and now they are STUNNING! All their color is back and they are perfect!
Got Oase Scaperline soil, Pisces Sahara USA Aqua sand, Pisces USA Aqua Bio-live sand to start a planted 17 gal. tank. The set up looks great at one month. Excellent advice and products.
Great product! My Discus love it
