The Elephant Ear Betta, also known as the Dumbo Betta, is a striking Betta fish distinguished by its large, elephant-ear-like pectoral fins that give it a unique and elegant appearance. These visually captivating fish are available in many vibrant colors and patterns, and while they are hardy, they require specific care, including a gentle filter and a diet of high-quality pellets and live foods. 
Appearance

  • Large Pectoral Fins:The hallmark feature is the oversized pectoral fins that resemble elephant ears, moving gracefully as the fish swims. 
  • Colors and Patterns:They come in a wide range of vibrant colors, including solid, marbled, koi, and metallic shades. 
  • Body Types:They can be paired with different tail types, such as Halfmoon or Delta, creating distinct looks within the Elephant Ear variety. 
Care Requirements

  • Aquarium Setup:A varied diet of high-quality pellets, frozen, or live foods is essential for their health. 
  • Filtration:A gentle filter is recommended to avoid strong currents, which can be detrimental to their delicate fins. 
  • Diet:A mixed diet including high-quality betta pellets, bloodworms, and brine shrimp is ideal. 
  • Tank Mates:Male Elephant Ear Bettas are territorial and should be kept alone, though females can sometimes be kept in sororities with enough space and peaceful community fish. 
Temperament and Lifespan

  • Hardy and Intelligent:Despite their delicate appearance, they are generally hardy and intelligent fish. 
  • Lifespan:With proper care, including a good diet and tank maintenance, they can live for 2-4 years.
