🐟 Spadetail Betta Fish (Betta splendens)
Freshwater Betta • Solitary Species • Unique Tail Shape • Beginner-Friendly
 
📋 The Spadetail Betta (Betta splendens) is a distinctive betta variety recognised for its unique spade-shaped tail, which tapers into a smooth, pointed tip—similar to a playing-card spade.
This elegant shape creates a fluid, graceful swimming style with less drag than larger-finned varieties, making Spadetails active and lively in the aquarium.
As with all bettas, males are best kept as solitary fish, as they may display territorial behaviour toward other bettas or similarly finned tankmates.
Hardy, expressive, and beginner-friendly, the Spadetail Betta is a beautiful choice for aquarists wanting a unique fin type that stands out from standard betta varieties.
