{"product_id":"hmpk-koi-black-samurai-male-betta","title":"HMPK Golden Big Ear Male Betta","description":"\u003cp\u003eBig ear, sometimes sold as dumbo, describes a betta (Betta splendens) whose pectoral fins have been selectively enlarged until they fan out well beyond the body like a pair of wings. On this golden halfmoon plakat the pale, translucent pectorals sit against a warm metallic gold body, and the fish flares them constantly as it moves. The short plakat tail keeps the rest of the finnage manageable, so the ears remain the feature rather than competing with a heavy tail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAquarium care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdults reach roughly 6 to 7 cm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeeds a heated, filtered tank of around 19 L or more.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep flow gentle — the oversized pectorals catch current.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne male per tank; males will fight on sight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequires surface access to breathe atmospheric air.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeed a quality betta pellet with frozen bloodworm or daphnia.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe enlarged pectorals are delicate and tear on sharp decor and rough ornaments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuits a single-fish tank or a calm community with corydoras, otocinclus and snails.
