Artübersicht

Betta coccina, a member of the family Osphronemidae, is native to Southeast Asia. It gulps air at the surface, so warm, still, plant-covered water is home — and cold drafts are not. It lives on the bottom. Adults reach 4.2–6.2 cm. A pair bonds loosely; keep décor between rivals. Give it warm, gentle water, floating plants and quiet neighbours; filter flow should barely ripple the surface. Maintain 24–27 °C at pH 4–6. A solid choice for a well-planned community tank.
