Best Food Source

Fightingbettas understands the importance of providing a balanced and nutritious diet for your plakats.

Insects, worms, crustaceans, and small aquatic organisms are some of the most common types of live food for plakats. A protein-strong diet is essential for the health and well-being of plakats as they are carnivorous fish and require a diet high in protein to thrive. A diet that is too low in protein can lead to a weakened immune system, stunted growth, and other health problems.
