Platinum White Plakat Male Betta

A sleek short-fin betta with pure white colour and bold, active presence

The Platinum White Plakat Male Betta is a stunning short-fin variety featuring a clean, solid white body with a subtle metallic sheen. The plakat (short-fin) form gives this betta a more compact, powerful look, along with increased activity compared to long-fin varieties.

Its crisp white colour stands out beautifully against darker aquascapes and planted tanks, making it a striking centrepiece despite its minimalist palette. Like all male bettas, it is territorial and should be housed alone. Provide warm, stable water, gentle filtration, and resting spots near the surface to keep this active and eye-catching fish thriving.
