(Betta splendens)
The Candy Halfmoon Plakat (HMPK) Female Betta is a stunning and vibrant variant of Betta splendens, known for its eye-catching “candy” coloration and compact, powerful body. With a shorter tail and more athletic build than traditional long-finned bettas, HMPK females are full of personality and color, making them an exceptional addition to your freshwater setup—whether for breeding or as a bold centerpiece in a nano tank.
