Yellow "HellBoy" Halfmoon Plakat (HMPK) Betta

The Yellow “HellBoy” Halfmoon Plakat Betta is a striking variant of Betta splendens, prized for its rich golden-yellow body often accented with white, silver, orange, or black spotting. This variety combines the dramatic 180° fan-shaped Halfmoon tail with the compact, muscular Plakat body—delivering both elegance and strength.

🐟 Distinctive Yellow HellBoy Genetics

Bred selectively for bright yellow pigmentation, the Yellow HellBoy HMPK may show subtle spotting or metallic overtones (white, silver, orange, black), but the defining feature is the bold, golden-yellow base. Each fish is tank-bred and unique in pattern, though the luminous yellow remains the consistent hallmark trait.

Appearance & Traits

  • 💛 Dominant golden-yellow body and fins, with occasional secondary spotting or iridescence
  • 🌕 Dramatic Halfmoon tail spread (≈180°) combined with short Plakat fins
  • 💪 Compact, athletic body shape typical of the Plakat variety

Packaging & Sexual Dimorphism

All Betta listings are **unsexed** and sold **individually**. Males typically develop stronger color intensity and tail spread, while juveniles may take time to reach full coloration and finnage maturity.

Care & Tank Setup

Minimum tank size: 4 gallons (≈15 L), though 5-10 g is recommended for long-term housing
Filtration & heater: Low flow filter and stable heater are ideal

  • Temperature: 75–82 °F (24–28 °C)
  • pH: 6.0–7.5
  • KH: 0–5 dKH
  • GH: 3–8 dGH
  • TDS: ~100–200 ppm

Provide plenty of cover with plants, driftwood, and resting spots near the surface. Yellow HellBoy HMPKs can co-exist with peaceful bottom-dwellers or small nano fish, but males should never be housed together. Females should only be introduced carefully if breeding is intended.

Diet

Carnivorous diet: high-quality betta pellets, frozen/live foods such as brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms. Feed small amounts 1–2× daily to avoid overfeeding.

Lifespan

With proper care and a stable environment, Yellow HellBoy HMPKs live **3–5 years**, sometimes longer in optimal conditions.
