The Lavender Dumbo Halfmoon Betta has beautiful coloration and oversized pectoral fins that resemble floppy elephant ears!

 

The Dumbo Halfmoon Betta (Betta splendens) is a very high-grade coloration fish of the classic longfin variety. Specimens of this variety have various shades of lavender, maroon, violet, blue and white coloration as well as oversized pectoral fins. While each individual betta is unique and one-of-a-kind, every specimen of this variety is extremely high quality!










 

Betta species live in slow or stagnant bodies of water, sometimes with very limited open swimming space. In addition to gills, they possess a labyrinth organ which allows them to breathe atmospheric air in oxygen-poor water Bettas are not particularly fast or active swimmers compared to some other species, but they should not be kept in small jars or bowls, contrary to the beliefs of some. Low water flow is appropriate, but filtration, heating, and the standard practices of keeping any aquarium fish are necessary for long-term care. Aquatic Arts does not endorse the long-term keeping of bettas in confined conditions or aquariums without filtration or heating.








 

Betta care is very simple, even for beginners. As stated above, low water flow is necessary for this somewhat retiring species. Some cover at the top of the water column is also appreciated. Otherwise, this betta species is very undemanding. It will thrive in a planted aquarium with no boisterous or fin-nipping tankmates. While it may be compatible with some bottom-dwelling species and some other peaceful fish, males of this species can sometimes be very aggressive toward other fish in the middle and top of the water column. It is generally peaceful with invertebrates too large to be considered prey. Also, as is common knowledge, males of this species cannot be kept together under any circumstances and females cannot be kept with males except temporarily during well-planned and supervised breeding. Females can be kept with other females as long as there is plenty of space and cover.









 

This betta species is not a picky eater and will eat a variety of meaty frozen, dry, and live foods. Variety is essential to maintaining optimal health and coloration.

Shipping Schedule for this service

UPS 1 Day: Monday through Thursday
 

Current Handling Time:

1-9 business days

Here at Aquatic Arts, we consider the welfare of the live animals we are shipping to be of the foremost importance. This process is much more involved than simply creating a shipping label and affixing it to a box. Depending on the order, it takes from 4 to 7 people to complete this process properly. We check the weather conditions here where they fly out of the Indianapolis UPS facility and the destination for each shipment. We start early each morning and go through a multi-step process to have the day's shipments prepared in time for the UPS pickup. The volume of orders in our system also affects the processing time. Therefore our stated handling time is 1-9 business days. 

Shipping Rate

Pricing is by size of package needed to fill entire order and distance it must travel. It will be calculated at checkout.
