🐟 Plakat Betta – (Betta splendens) – Short-Tail Siamese Fighting Fish for Sale

The Plakat Betta (Betta splendens) is a short-fin variety of the Siamese Fighting Fish, bred for its compact, muscular body and powerful swimming ability. Originating from Thailand, Cambodia, and surrounding Southeast Asian regions, Plakats are prized for their vibrant colors, aggressive displays, and hardiness compared to long-fin bettas.

Originally developed for traditional fish fighting (now illegal in most places), Plakats are more active than ornamental long-fin types, making them an excellent choice for aquarists who prefer a hardy, energetic betta with striking colors.
