Our betta fish & supplies collection features premium betta fish alongside every accessory a betta keeper needs: specialty food, leaf hammocks, floating logs, botanicals, heaters, and nano tank essentials designed to support proper betta care.
Popular Bettas & Betta Gear
We regularly stock vibrant male and female bettas in a range of colors and fin types, plus the supplies that support daily care and enrichment. Whether you keep a single show betta or a sorority, you will find the fish and the gear in one place — from premium foods and botanicals to leaf hammocks, floating logs, and complete nano aquarium kits.
Best Betta Supplies
The right betta supplies make daily care easy and support natural coloration as part of a balanced diet. For food, Xtreme Betta Pellets are a high-quality floating staple, while Fluval Bug Bites Betta Flakes add insect-based protein bettas love. To keep water safe and stable, the Fluval Betta Care 3-Pack bundles conditioner, beneficial bacteria, and a cleaner for nano tanks. For a botanical option that helps create a natural blackwater-style environment, Fritz Catappa (Indian Almond) Leaves are a betta-keeper favorite. Explore the full lineup of betta foods, conditioners, and botanicals in the betta supplies collection.
Betta Tank Essentials
Bettas need more than a bowl, so start with the right tank essentials. A complete kit like the Fluval Betta Premium Aquarium Kit provides lighting and gentle integrated filtration in a compact nano footprint. Because bettas are tropical, a reliable compact heater such as the Hygger HG031 Mini Pro Heater keeps temperatures in the ideal range. Give your betta a place to rest near the surface with a Zoo Med Floating Betta Log, and always make tap water safe with a conditioner like API Stress Coat. Round out the setup with gentle filtration, a compact aquarium heater, and live aquatic plants for cover.
Betta Care Tips
Bettas need more than a bowl. Give a single betta a heated, filtered tank of at least 5 gallons with a reliable adjustable heater set to 78–82°F and gentle filtration — they dislike strong currents. Always treat tap water with a quality water conditioner, and add plenty of cover with live aquarium plants and easy low-light plants. Feed a varied diet of betta pellets and the occasional frozen treat, and keep up with weekly water changes.
Best Tank Mates for Bettas
Male bettas can be territorial, so choose tank mates carefully and never house two males together. In a 10-gallon or larger planted tank, peaceful companions can include snails, corydoras catfish, and small algae-eating otocinclus. Avoid fin-nippers and brightly colored, long-finned fish that a betta may mistake for a rival. Dwarf shrimp can work with a calm betta, but results vary by individual fish.
