Dumbo Ear Plakat Betta - Male - Platinum White

The Platinum Dumbo Ear Plakat Betta is a truly breathtaking little fish that looks as though it has swum straight out of a fairy tale. Earning their adorable 'Dumbo' nickname from their massively oversized, wing-like pectoral fins, these bettas look like they are gracefully flying through the water rather than swimming.

The 'Platinum' variety is especially striking, boasting a flawless, shimmering white body that gleams beautifully under your aquarium lights. Because they are a 'Plakat' type—meaning they have shorter, neater tail fins rather than the long, heavy tails of other bettas—they are incredibly active, zippy swimmers who won't get weighed down as they explore their tank.

They are also famously curious and intelligent, quickly learning to flutter right up to the glass to greet you whenever you walk into the room!

Looking after one of these little flying wonders is wonderfully straightforward, making them a brilliant pet for both beginners and seasoned fishkeepers.

While their shorter tails make them stronger swimmers, those big, beautiful 'ears' mean they still appreciate a gentle water flow in a warm, filtered tank of around 30 litres or more.

They absolutely love a well-planted aquarium with plenty of soft leaves where they can take a comfortable rest after a busy day of exploring.

When it comes to feeding, they are little carnivores at heart, so a diet of high-quality betta pellets mixed with tasty frozen treats like bloodworms or daphnia will keep them healthy and glowing.
