Tricolor Veiltail Betta – Male

The Tricolor Veiltail Betta (Betta splendens) is a striking ornamental fish displaying a beautiful blend of three distinct colours across its long, flowing veiltail fins — typically combining red, blue, and white in dramatic patterns that shift with the light. Veiltail bettas are known for their extra-long, gracefully draping fins that create an almost theatrical presence in the aquarium. Each male is hand-selected for exceptional colour contrast and fin development, and this variety is a popular betta fish purchase at our Ottawa aquarium store. Male Tricolor Veiltail Bettas are territorial toward other males and should be housed alone or in a species-appropriate community tank with peaceful, non-fin-nipping fish. They do best in a well-heated, filtered tank with calm water flow, enriched with hiding spots and live or silk plants for comfort. A wonderful centrepiece fish for anyone in Ottawa looking for a visually spectacular freshwater fish that is interactive and rewarding to keep.
