Natural habitat

The Strohi Betta is found predominantly in the blackwater rivers of Borneo, particularly south of Sukamara. The habitats consist of slow-moving waters with dense vegetation and leaf litter, providing both shelter and foraging opportunities for these fish.

Where they are found

The natural range of Betta Fish includes parts of Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam, where they thrive in warm, slightly acidic waters with abundant plant life.

Aquarium care

Keep your betta in a tank of at least 5 gallons with a lid to prevent jumping. Maintain a stable temperature between 24-27°C. Regularly change 25% of the tank water weekly and ensure the water is treated to remove chlorine and heavy metals. Utilize a gentle filter to avoid strong currents.

Feeding

A balanced diet consisting of high-quality flake food, live or frozen foods such as daphnia, and mosquito larvae will keep them healthy. Overfeeding should be avoided to maintain water quality.

Compatibility

Betta fish can be aggressive towards their own species, especially males; thus, it's advisable not to house them together. Suitable tankmates include peaceful bottom-dwellers like Corydoras or snails that do not resemble bettas. Monitor interactions closely.

Breeding

Breeding Bettas can be challenging, requiring patience. They are egg layers and display a bubble-nesting behavior. Males should be introduced to females in a breeding tank that provides plenty of hiding spots and low light during breeding time.
