🐟 Half Sun Betta Fish (Betta splendens)
Freshwater Betta • Solitary Species • Hybrid Fin Display • Beginner-Friendly
📋 The Half Sun Betta (Betta splendens) is a striking hybrid betta variety created by combining the dramatic spread of the Halfmoon tail with the spiked ray extensions of the Crowntail.
This results in a bold, semi-fringed fin structure that creates a radiant graceful swimming style, resembling a sunburst when viewed from the side.
Like all bettas, the Half Sun is best kept as a solitary fish, as males are territorial and may show aggression toward other bettas or fin-nipping species.Eye-catching, expressive, and beginner-friendly, the Half Sun Betta makes an exceptional showpiece fish for small tropical aquariums.
