Betta Cracens Pair – A Rare & Beautiful Wild Betta
The Betta Cracens is an elegant wild betta species found in the freshwater streams and peat swamps of Southeast Asia, particularly in Borneo, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Unlike common bettas, Betta Cracens features a sleek body with earthy brown tones, dark horizontal stripes, and shimmering iridescence. Their peaceful nature and mouthbrooding breeding behaviour make them a fascinating addition to any aquarist’s collection.
If you’re looking for a unique, hardy, and captivating wild betta, the Betta Cracens pair is an excellent choice.
Locality & Natural Habitat
The Betta Cracens originates from slow-moving, acidic waters of Borneo and Sumatra, often found in blackwater swamps and forest streams. These environments are known for:
✔ Soft, acidic water (pH 4.5 – 6.5)
✔ Warm temperatures (75°F – 82°F)
✔ Leaf-littered substrate rich in tannins
✔ Low water flow with dense vegetation
To keep them comfortable in captivity, it’s important to replicate their natural habitat by using tannin-rich water, soft lighting, and plenty of hiding spots.
Simple Care Guide for Betta Cracens Pair
1. Tank Setup & Water Parameters
Minimum Tank Size: 15-20 gallons for a pair
Water Temperature: 75°F – 82°F (24°C – 28°C)
pH Level: 4.5 – 6.5 (soft, acidic water)
Filtration: Sponge filter or low-flow filter to mimic slow-moving waters
Substrate: Fine sand with leaf litter for natural tannins
Hiding Spots: Driftwood, caves, and floating plants for security
2. Diet & Feeding
Betta Cracens are carnivores and require a protein-rich diet to thrive. Offer:
✅ Live or frozen foods (bloodworms, daphnia, brine shrimp)
✅ Small insects like mosquito larvae and blackworms
✅ High-quality pellets or flakes designed for wild bettas
Feed them once or twice daily, ensuring they eat within a few minutes to prevent overfeeding.
3. Tank Mates & Compatibility
Betta Cracens are peaceful but can be territorial, especially during breeding. The best tank setup includes:
✔ A species-only tank for focused care
✔ A well-planted community tank with small, peaceful fish
✔ No aggressive tank mates like fin-nippers or large fish
4. Breeding & Behavior
Betta Cracens are mouthbrooders—the male carries the fertilized eggs in his mouth for 10-14 days until the fry hatch.
To encourage breeding, maintain stable water parameters, provide ample hiding spots, and feed them a high-protein diet.
After hatching, the male releases the free-swimming fry, which should be fed infusoria or baby brine shrimp.
