At THIENDUC AQUARIUM, we have been exporting Vietnam's finest ornamental fish since 2012, and this species is a consistent favorite among our European clients in the UK, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. This expert guide will help you find the perfect Galaxy Betta for Sale, understand its pricing, and provide it with the care it deserves.

What is a Galaxy Betta?

The Galaxy Betta is not a species found in the wild but rather a masterpiece of selective breeding. Originating from the popular Koi Betta lines, breeders have painstakingly isolated and enhanced specific traits over many generations to create the breathtaking "galaxy" pattern. This process requires a deep understanding of genetics and a keen eye for artistry, a standard we at THIENDUC AQUARIUM demand from our nationwide network of partner farms. Understanding these characteristics is key when you're looking for a high-quality Galaxy Betta for Sale.

Key Characteristics

The "Galaxy" Scales

The defining feature of this betta is its unique scales. They are highly iridescent, reflecting light in a way that creates a glittering, star-like effect across the fish's body. On a dark-bodied fish, this pattern is truly reminiscent of a distant galaxy, a dusting of diamonds scattered across a velvet canvas. The density and brilliance of these scales are primary indicators of the fish's quality.

Dazzling Coloration

Galaxy Bettas are built upon a multi-coloured foundation, similar to their Koi Betta ancestors. Common base colours include deep blues, blacks, reds, and oranges. The magic happens when the iridescent "galaxy" scales overlay this canvas. Popular variations include:

• Koi Galaxy: A fish with the mottled, multi-colour pattern of a calico or koi carp, enhanced with the glittering galaxy scales.

• Nemo Galaxy: This variant features a vibrant base of orange, red, and black, often with white or clear fins, providing a stunning contrast for the starry scales.

The Active Plakat Form

Most Galaxy Bettas are of the Plakat (short-finned) variety. This traditional fin type is closer to that of wild bettas, making them incredibly active, agile, and robust swimmers. Their energetic personality makes them a captivating fish to watch as they patrol their aquatic domain.

The Latest Price Update for Galaxy Betta (2025)

When searching for Galaxy Betta for Sale, the price tag is a reflection of an intricate combination of natural artistry and careful cultivation. As a direct producer and exporter to the European market, we believe in transparency. The price for these living gems can vary significantly based on their quality.

Here is a general breakdown of what you can expect in the current market:

Type / Grade	Average Price (USD)	Characteristics
Standard Koi Galaxy	$15 - $25	Good, clear coloration with a noticeable but less dense galaxy pattern.
Nemo Galaxy	$20 - $40	Strong orange, red, and black base colours with a well-defined galaxy scale pattern.

Female Galaxy Betta	$10 - $20	Generally less expensive than males but essential for breeding projects and still very beautiful.

Elements That Affect the Cost

Coloration & Pattern: The Art of a Starry Night

The most significant price factor is aesthetics. A fish with intense, well-defined colours and a dense, evenly distributed galaxy pattern will command the highest price. Rarity in the colour combination also plays a crucial role.

Age and Size: Peak Vitality

Young, healthy adults that are ready for breeding or at their peak visual splendor are the most sought-after.

Genetics & Breeder Reputation: The THIENDUC AQUARIUM Standard

At THIENDUC AQUARIUM, we leverage our extensive satellite system of farms and collectors, built since 2012, to source bettas from breeders renowned for their strong, healthy, and visually stunning genetic lines. This commitment to quality is a major factor when considering a Galaxy Betta for Sale from our collection.

Gender: Males vs. Females

As with most betta varieties, males are typically more expensive. Their colours are generally more intense, and their fins, even on Plakat types, are more developed than those of the females.

Import & Logistics: From Vietnam to Europe

For our clients in the EU, the final price includes the complex logistics of ensuring a healthy, stress-free journey from our facility in Vietnam to your door. The logistics of safely shipping from our base in Ho Chi Minh City to the UK, Germany, or France is a crucial part of the final cost for a premium Galaxy Betta for Sale.

What to Look For When Buying

Regardless of the source, a healthy betta will display universal signs of well-being:

• Active and Alert: The fish should be responsive to its surroundings and swim with purpose.

• Clear Eyes and Smooth Scales: Avoid fish with cloudy eyes, ragged fins, or visible lesions, spots, or fungus on their body.

• Vibrant Colors: A healthy betta’s colours are bright and vivid. Dullness can be a sign of stress or illness.

• Clean Water: The condition of the holding water speaks volumes about the care the fish has received.

Caring for Your New Galaxy Betta

Your responsibility begins once the purchase is complete. Proper care ensures that your investment in a Galaxy Betta for Sale thrives for years to come, dazzling you with its beauty every day.

Tank Setup

• Size: A single betta requires a tank of at least 3-5 gallons (12-20 liters). Bigger is always better.

• Heater & Filter: Bettas are tropical fish. A heater is essential to maintain a stable, warm water temperature (78-82°F / 25-28°C). A gentle filter keeps the water clean without creating a current that is too strong for the fish.

Water Conditions

Clean water is paramount. Perform partial water changes (25-30%) at least once a week. Before being put into the tank, the water needs to be dechlorinated. A cycled tank with stable parameters (0 ammonia, 0 nitrite) is crucial for long-term health.

A Healthy Diet

Offer a diet rich in protein and variety. High-quality betta pellets can be the staple, supplemented with frozen or live foods like brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms to encourage natural foraging behaviours and enhance colour.

Temperament and Tank Mates

Never forget their "Siamese Fighting Fish" heritage. Males must always be housed alone. Females can sometimes be kept in small groups (sororities) in a large, well-planted tank, but this should only be attempted by experienced fish keepers.
