Captive-Bred Marine Betta: The Rare Reef Fish Making a Comeback | Mark Callahan, Mr. Saltwater Tank

The Marine Betta, also known as the Comet, is one of the most mesmerizing and underrated saltwater fish — and now it’s finally back in the hobby as a captive-bred species! In this episode, we visit Sawyer at ORA to learn all about these beautiful, slow-growing fish: how they’re bred, what they eat, and why they make incredible additions to smaller reef aquariums. Discover their nocturnal hunting behavior, unique “false eye” defense pattern, and feeding tips for success at home. Whether you’ve never heard of a Marine Betta or have always wanted one for your saltwater tank, this video will show you why this species deserves a spot in your next build.
