| Housing |
Betta coccina can be housed in pairs, species
tanks, and community tanks. Pairs can be housed in a 5 gallon tank,
groups should be housed in a 20 gallon tank or larger. Pairs should be
given cover such as caves and plants. In a pair or species situation it
is possible that fry could be discovered in the tanks. |
| Water Conditions |
Betta coccina comes from blackwater environments
and should have soft acidic water that is well filtered. They should be
kept at mid 70s F. |
| Sexing |
Females have an egg tube. Females ovaries might be
visible via spotlighting. Males may be more intensely colored. |
| Reproduction |
Coccina is a submerged bubblenester so large leafed
plants or black plastic film canisters are best for giving them a place
to nest. |
| Similar Species |
Similar species would be all coccina complex members.
|
| Identification |
Coccina males may have a side spot or solid green side.
Females tend to be a bland red with egg tube. Coccina can have a
highly variable pattern. |
