Introduction to the Elephant Ear (Dumbo Ear) Betta Fish
The Elephant Ear Betta, affectionately known as the Dumbo Betta, is named for its dramatically enlarged pectoral fins, which resemble the large floppy ears of an elephant. These pectorals are not just for show—they create a mesmerizing motion as the fish swims, often compared to a bird flapping its wings underwater.
This Betta combines elegance with personality, often recognizing and interacting with its keeper. With color varieties ranging from blue, white, and platinum to multi-colored Nemo patterns, these Bettas are sought after by aquarists and breeders alike.
Bred through careful genetic selection, Dumbo Bettas are not found in the wild and are the result of dedicated Betta line breeding. Each fish is one-of-a-kind, making them perfect for aquarists who value exclusivity, beauty, and peaceful solo display.
