Candy Koi Betta Fish are a stunning variant of the Betta splendens species, commonly known as Siamese fighting fish. They are named for their vibrant, candy-like colors and distinctive koi patterns.
 
Appearance: Candy Koi Bettas typically have a marbled pattern resembling that of a koi fish, with patches of red, white, and black on their bodies. Their fins can vary in color, often featuring hues of red, orange, black, and white. The combination of these colors creates a mesmerizing and eye-catching appearance.
Size: Like other Betta splendens, Candy Koi Bettas are relatively small fish, usually reaching about 2.5 to 3 inches (6-8 centimeters) in length.
Temperament: Betta fish are known for their territorial nature, and Candy Koi Bettas are no exception. While they can be kept in community tanks under the right conditions, they may display aggression towards other male Bettas or fish with long, flowing fins, which they may mistake for a rival.
Care: Proper care is essential for Candy Koi Bettas to thrive. They require a heated and filtered aquarium with plenty of hiding spots and places to explore. Bettas are labyrinth fish, meaning they have a specialized organ allowing them to breathe air from the water's surface. However, they still need access to clean, oxygenated water.
Water Parameters: Candy Koi Bettas prefer warm water with a stable temperature between 75-82°F (24-28°C). The pH level should be slightly acidic to neutral, ideally between 6.5 and 7.5. Regular water changes are necessary to maintain good water quality.
Feeding: These Bettas are omnivores and will eat a varied diet. They should be fed high-quality Betta pellets or flakes as their staple diet, supplemented with occasional treats like frozen or live foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, or daphnia.
Breeding: Breeding Candy Koi Bettas can be a rewarding but challenging endeavor. It requires careful selection of breeding pairs, conditioning, and providing appropriate breeding conditions. The male builds bubble nests, and after successful mating, the female lays her eggs, which the male fertilizes and guards until they hatch.
Health: Like all fish, Candy Koi Bettas are susceptible to various diseases, including fin rot, ich, and velvet. Providing a clean environment, proper nutrition, and promptly addressing any signs of illness can help keep them healthy.
