🐟 Combtail Betta Fish (Betta splendens)
Freshwater Betta • Solitary Species • Flowing Fin Display • Beginner-Friendly
📋 The Combtail Betta (Betta splendens) is a unique betta variety featuring semi-spread fin rays that create a subtle comb-like tail edge—a blend between traditional and Crowntail fin shapes.
This gives the fish a softer but still dramatic graceful swimming style, with fins that flow elegantly without the extreme web reduction seen in Crowntails.
As with all bettas, the Combtail is best kept as a solitary fish, since males are territorial and may fight with rivals or similar-looking fish.Hardy, colourful, and beginner-friendly, the Combtail Betta is an excellent choice for aquarists seeking a stylish, expressive betta without the delicate fins of long-tail varieties.
