Nemo Yellow Plakat Betta

Nemo Yellow Plakat Betta - Sunny Marbled Yellow on a Compact Plakat Body

The Nemo Yellow Plakat Betta shows off a bright yellow and white marbled pattern, a sunnier take on the classic nemo colouration, carried on a short-finned plakat form. Each fish's patches of colour fall in a slightly different arrangement, making every individual visually distinct.

As a marbled variety, this strain can continue to shift its yellow and white patches over time, so the fish you take home today may develop further character as it matures. It shares the same easy-going care requirements and sturdy build as other plakat lines.

At N8 Aquatics, our fish are carefully raised and conditioned to ensure healthy stock suited to home aquariums.

Species Snapshot

• Adult Size: 5–6 cm
• Tank Size: 20 L minimum, heated and filtered

• Temperature: 24–28°C
• pH: 6.5–7.5

Ideal Habitat and Care

A heavily planted tank with soft, low-flow filtration and plenty of surface cover suits this species best, as bettas are poor swimmers against strong currents.

• pH: 6.5–7.5
• Water Flow: Low to gentle
• Maintenance: Weekly partial water changes of 20–30%

Diet

This species is an easy feeder that will happily accept a varied diet.

• High-quality betta pellets as a daily staple
• Frozen or live bloodworm for extra protein
• Frozen or live brine shrimp as an occasional treat

Compatibility

This species is best suited to a species-only setup or a carefully chosen community of calm, non-fin-nipping tankmates, and should never be housed with other bettas or gourami.

Suitable tankmates include:

• A species-only betta tank
• Calm bottom-dwelling fish such as corydoras
• Peaceful, non-fin-nipping community species

Avoid aggressive or fin-nipping species.
