Yellow FCCP Plakat Betta

Yellow FCCP Plakat Betta - Rare Platinum-Based Yellow Strain With Show-Line Genetics

The Yellow FCCP Plakat Betta comes from Fancy Copper Cellophane Platinum bloodlines, producing a bright, clean yellow body with a subtle platinum-based sheen that is less common than standard yellow strains. Its short-finned plakat form keeps the build compact and agile.

FCCP genetics are prized among betta keepers for producing unusually clean, consistent colour, and this strain is no exception, holding its yellow tone well under good aquarium lighting. Despite its show-line pedigree it remains just as hardy and easy to care for as any other plakat betta.

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

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.

• 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.
