{"product_id":"giant-halfmoon-male-betta-no-1","title":"Giant Halfmoon Male Betta NO.1","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur Giant Halfmoon Male Bettas are a larger bodied version of the classic Halfmoon, noticeably bigger than a standard Halfmoon while keeping that same spectacular wide, half moon shaped tail when flared. We source them from a few carefully chosen suppliers, mainly in Thailand and occasionally Indonesia, and they typically arrive with us as young fish around six months old.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e[ADD FISH-SPECIFIC PARAGRAPH HERE: describe this Betta's colouring, pattern and any standout features]\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith their large flowing tails and bigger bodies, Giant Halfmoons need more room than a standard Halfmoon. We'd recommend a minimum of 60 litres, up to around 100 litres. They need a heated, planted tank with plenty of decoration to feel settled, and botanicals such as almond leaves or alder cones are a great addition too, helping to create the softer, more natural water conditions Bettas thrive in. Our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/byrkleyaquatics.co.uk\/pages\/male-betta-fish\"\u003etank setup guide\u003c\/a\u003e has more detail on getting this right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour tank needs to be fully set up and cycled before you come to collect your Betta, with water tests showing the correct parameters, again, our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/byrkleyaquatics.co.uk\/pages\/male-betta-fish\"\u003etank setup guide\u003c\/a\u003e covers what to check for. Please get in touch with us in store if you'd like to talk through your setup before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBettas need a high protein diet rather than a vegetable based one. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/byrkleyaquatics.co.uk\/products\/jbl-pro-novo-insect-based-food-100ml\"\u003eJBL insect sticks\u003c\/a\u003e are a firm favourite here, alongside live and frozen foods (just go easy on the bloodworm). Our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/byrkleyaquatics.co.uk\/blogs\/betta-fish-all-you-need-to-know\/ultimate-guide-to-feeding-the-best-food-for-your-betta-fish-diet-nutrition-and-tips-for-optimal-health\"\u003efeeding guide\u003c\/a\u003e covers this in more depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn smaller tanks, we wouldn't add any other fish, though cleaner fish or shrimp are usually fine. In a larger setup, a Giant Halfmoon can often live happily alongside a few community housemates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note the fish shown is the exact one you'll collect, not a representative photo. Colouration can look a little different depending on the lighting it's photographed and kept under, and it's worth knowing that Bettas can and do change colour as they mature, particularly those carrying the marble gene. This is click and collect only, and collections need to be made within 7 days of purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Byrkley Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54743896392018,"sku":"0005354210051","price":120.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1066\/3437\/9602\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_e895d2b9-a0fd-4f4c-ab60-78ef62af3a8f.jpg?v=1789649052","url":"https:\/\/byrkleyaquatics.co.uk\/products\/giant-halfmoon-male-betta-no-1","provider":"Byrkley Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
