Characteristics
-
Size: Dumbo Halfmoon Male Bettas typically reach 2.5 to 3 inches in length, making them a striking yet manageable size for aquariums.
-
Fins: These bettas are known for their broad, flowing fins that form a perfect 180-degree arc when flared. Their signature feature is the large pectoral fins resembling elephant ears, giving them their "Dumbo" name. These fins add elegance and a unique flair to their swimming style.
-
Coloration: Dumbo Halfmoon Bettas come in a stunning array of colors, often featuring vibrant blues, reds, purples, and multicolored patterns. The contrasting coloration of their "ear" fins often adds an extra touch of beauty.
Male Dumbo Halfmoon Betta
The Dumbo Halfmoon Male Betta and Dumbo Halfmoon Plakat Betta both types of betta fish feature striking "elephant ear" pectoral fins but differ in fin length and behavior. The Halfmoon boasts long, flowing fins for a graceful appearance, while the Plakat's shorter fins give it a sleeker, more active demeanor. Plakats are also easier to maintain, making them ideal for beginners, while Halfmoons offer unmatched elegance for display.

Each Dumbo Halfmoon Male Betta is hand-selected for its perfect blend of color, fin structure, and overall health. Like a living work of art, no two bettas are exactly the same. What you see in Splashy Fish’s product listing is exactly the fish you will receive, ensuring complete satisfaction.
Color Variation
The lighting & water parameters we keep the fish in might be different from your freshwater aquarium parameters, therefore the fish’s colors might appear lighter or darker. We don't use color-enhancing software to increase the color of the fish in our video. Please ensure to check out the Betta Fish Care Guide to properly prepare the tank for your Beta fish.
Shipping Stress
Due to stress during shipping, the fish might arrive lacking color and may not look like the fish that you purchased. Please ensure that you read our guide on How to acclimate fish after shipping. Please give your fish at least 24 to 48 hours to regain its color.
Color & Scale Changes
Please keep in mind that these fish also tend to change their scales as they grow and over time. It is very normal with Betta species such as Koi betta fish, Koi Nemo, Hellboy, or Fancy types.
Betta Fish Water Parameters
Betta fish thrive in specific water conditions to ensure their health and well-being. Here are the key water parameters to maintain for a happy and healthy betta:
-
Temperature: 82°F (27.7°C) is ideal. Bettas are tropical fish and need warm water to stay active and healthy.
-
pH: 6.5-7.5 is the preferred range. A slightly acidic to neutral pH is best for bettas.
-
Ammonia and Nitrite: 0 ppm (parts per million). These are toxic substances that can harm or even kill your betta. A well-established aquarium with a healthy nitrogen cycle should have no detectable ammonia or nitrite.
-
Nitrate: Less than 20 ppm is ideal, though up to 40 ppm is generally tolerable. Nitrates are less toxic than ammonia and nitrite, but high levels can still stress your fish. Regular water changes will help keep nitrates under control.
-
Hardness: Not overly critical, but soft to moderately hard water is preferred.
Additional Considerations
-
Clean water: Regular water changes (25-50% weekly or bi-weekly, depending on tank size and filtration) are crucial to maintain good water quality and remove waste products.
-
Filtration: A filter is recommended to help keep the water clean and aerated, but make sure the flow is gentle, as bettas prefer calm water.
-
Heater: A reliable heater is essential to keep the water temperature stable, especially in cooler climates.
Important Betta Housing Recommendation
Male Bettas
Due to their territorial and aggressive nature, it is strongly advised against housing two or more male betta fish in the same tank. This can lead to severe fighting, injuries, and even death.
Female Bettas (Sorority Tank)
If you'd like to keep multiple bettas together, a "betta sorority tank" with only female betta fish is a possibility. However, this requires careful planning and specific conditions:
-
Minimum 6 Females: A group of at least 6 female bettas is recommended to help disperse aggression.
-
Large Tank: A tank of 20 gallons or more is essential to provide adequate space for each fish.
-
Plenty of Hiding Places: Include numerous plants, caves, and other decorations to create territories and hiding spots.
-
Close Monitoring: Observe the bettas closely for signs of aggression or stress, and be prepared to separate any individuals if necessary.
