Tiger

The Tiger Betta originated from the Koi Nemo Betta, which is characterized by a combination of red, orange, yellow, and occasional black accents. The evolution of the Koi Nemo Betta led to the creation of the Nemo Galaxy Betta, which then further evolved into the Tiger Betta​​.

Tiger Bettas are sought-after for their unique beauty and can be found at specialized aquarium stores or through reputable online breeders. A notable source is our Thailand Betta Fish’s farm, known for offering a wide selection of high-quality Tiger Bettas. We specializes in Thai-bred Bettas, providing enthusiasts with access to some of the most exquisite Tiger Betta specimens.

Tiger Bettas are known for their stunning and diverse color palette. Each color variation showcases a unique pattern, reminiscent of a tiger's stripes, which adds to their exotic allure:

• Yellow Tiger Betta: These Bettas are particularly captivating with their bright, sunny yellow hues. The yellow can range from a pale, lemony shade to a deep, golden tone, often contrasted with darker stripes or spots.
• Black Tiger Betta: The Black Tiger Bettas stand out with their deep, dark coloration. This can range from a charcoal black to a more intense jet black, often accentuated with lighter or iridescent stripes, providing a striking contrast.
• Other Color Variations: Tiger Bettas are not limited to these two colors. They can also be found in a spectrum of other shades, including fiery reds, deep blues, and even a blend of multiple colors. These multicolored Bettas might display a mix of hues on a single fish, creating a kaleidoscopic effect.

Each Tiger Betta color variant offers a unique visual experience, making them a prized choice for aquarium enthusiasts and collectors.

The Tiger Koi Betta or Koi Tiger Betta is a captivating variety of Betta fish, renowned for its distinctive coloration and patterns that resemble those of both tigers and koi fish. This type typically features vibrant colors and bold, contrasting stripes or spots, creating an appearance similar to the markings of a tiger. The Tiger Koi Betta is admired for its striking beauty and is a popular choice among Betta enthusiasts and collectors due to its unique aesthetic and the visual impact it brings to an aquarium.

Tiger Koi Bettas are special due to their koi-like patterns and vibrant color mixes, which resemble a tiger's stripes. This type is a result of selective breeding, emphasizing unique patterns and striking colors. They are celebrated for their dynamic appearance and the distinctiveness of each individual fish.

Choosing a Tiger Betta is a personalized journey for enthusiasts. They can select their favorite Betta based on individual preferences for color and pattern. The appeal of Tiger Bettas lies in their vibrant hues and the diverse, intricate patterns that make each one a one-of-a-kind masterpiece in the world of Betta enthusiasts​​.

Acclimating Tiger Bettas involves a gradual introduction to their new environment. Begin by floating their transport bag in the aquarium to equalize water temperatures. Slowly add small amounts of tank water into the bag over a period of 30 to 45 minutes. This method helps the Betta adjust to water parameters and reduces shock.

Ideal tank mates for Tiger Bettas include non-aggressive, small fish that do not resemble Bettas. Suitable companions are neon tetras, Corydoras catfish, or small rasboras. Avoid fin nippers or overly active fish that might stress the Betta.

Breeding Tiger Bettas requires creating a conducive environment. The male builds a bubble nest for the eggs. Prior to breeding, condition the pair with high-quality food. After spawning, remove the female to prevent stress and injury, as the male becomes protective of the nest.

The ideal water temperature for Tiger Bettas is between 76-81°F (24-27°C). Consistent temperatures are crucial as fluctuations can cause stress or illness. Use a reliable aquarium heater and regularly monitor the temperature.

Tiger Bettas can be kept in community tanks if the environment is carefully managed. The tank should be spacious, with plenty of hiding spots to prevent stress. It's vital to monitor the Betta's behavior to ensure it's not being bullied or showing aggression towards tank mates.

A healthy Tiger Betta displays vibrant colors, active swimming behavior, and a hearty appetite. Its fins should be intact and free from tears or rotting. Healthy Bettas are curious and responsive to their environment.

Signs of stress in Tiger Bettas include loss of color, clamped fins, lethargy, hiding, and refusal to eat. Stress can be caused by factors like poor water quality, unsuitable tank mates, or inadequate diet.

Tiger Bettas are susceptible to diseases like fin rot, ich (white spot disease), and swim bladder disease. Maintaining clean water, a balanced diet, and a stress-free environment are key to preventing these issues.

Tiger Bettas should be fed once or twice daily. Each feeding should be small, allowing them to consume all the food in a couple of minutes. This prevents overfeeding and keeps the tank clean.

A balanced diet for Tiger Bettas includes high-quality Betta pellets or flakes. Supplement this with live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, daphnia, or bloodworms, which provide necessary protein and nutrients.

Maintaining water quality involves regular water changes (about 25-50% weekly), using a suitable filtration system, and monitoring parameters like pH, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels.

A 5-gallon aquarium is the minimum recommended tank size for a Tiger Betta, offering sufficient space for swimming and exploring. Larger tanks can reduce stress and provide a more stable environment.

Tiger Bettas can coexist with shrimp or snails, but the compatibility depends on the Betta's temperament. Dwarf shrimp may be at risk, while larger shrimp or snails like nerite snails are usually safe.

Ensuring longevity involves providing a well-maintained tank, a balanced diet, regular health checks, and minimizing stress. This holistic care approach can significantly extend a Tiger Betta's lifespan.
