Betta Channoides (Snakehead Betta) PAIR

Betta Channoides are mouth brooders, meaning after spawning the male will hold the eggs and hatch the fry inside of his mouth until they are large enough to swim and eat on their own! The male will turn a deep red color with bright blue fin tips to show off to female while the female will present brown vertical "breeding stripes" and red fins, the two will embrace to release the eggs. They are also known as "snakehead bettas" due to their body shape and colors. The Betta Channoides are a great introduction into wild bettas, incredibly peaceful, even being able to house males and females together if provided at least 10 gallons per pair! Tannins are also enjoyed, be sure to provide them with Indian almond leaves, alder cones, or any type of botanical that will tan their water and provide a natural environment! It is recommended to remove the fry or parents to allow them to grow without risk of being eaten, fry will be able to eat live/frozen baby brine shrimp!
