🎁 12 Perfect Gift Ideas for Betta Fish Keepers (UK Guide 2025)

Whether you’re shopping for a Betta fish lover or treating yourself, finding the perfect gift can be a real splash! Bettas (also known as Siamese Fighting Fish) are full of personality and charm, and their keepers adore creating the perfect little world for them.

We’ve rounded up some fun, practical, and thoughtful gift ideas - from budget-friendly treats to slightly larger splurges - to make any Betta keeper’s day.

💧 Gifts up to £5

1. Botanicals & Natural Additions

Indian Almond Leaves, banana leaves, and other aquarium-safe botanicals don’t just look great — they help create a more natural environment and release tannins that are soothing for Bettas. Perfect for adding that jungle vibe to their tank!

2. Betta Beds & Floating Caves

These small floating leaves or hammocks let Bettas rest near the surface — exactly where they love to hang out. A comfy little bed makes a surprisingly popular gift (and a sleepy Betta is a happy Betta!).

3. Betta Mirror

It might sound funny, but Bettas use mirrors for exercise! A few minutes of “flaring time” each day keeps their fins strong and helps mimic natural behaviour. Just make sure it’s used sparingly.

4. Betta Treat Food

From bloodworms to daphnia or brine shrimp snacks, Betta treats are always appreciated. They’re an easy, affordable way to enrich feeding time — and you’ll love watching your Betta’s excitement bubble up!

🌿 Gifts up to £20

5. Betta-Friendly Ornaments & Tunnels

Smooth-edged tunnels, caves, and decorations designed for Bettas make beautiful (and safe!) additions to a tank. Avoid anything sharp — Bettas’ fins are delicate — and go for ornaments specifically labelled as Betta-safe.

6. Live or Silk Plants

Live plants such as Anubias, Java Fern, or Marimo Moss Balls are not only beautiful but help keep the water healthy. If live plants aren’t an option, high-quality silk plants offer the same natural look without the maintenance.

7. Water Testing Kit

A reliable water test kit is one of the most practical gifts you can give. Keeping ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels in check ensures a healthy Betta — and a stress-free keeper.

8. Cleaning Equipment

Small siphons, algae scrapers, and tank-safe sponges make maintenance days so much easier. Combine a few into a little “tank care kit” for a thoughtful, practical present.

9. Automatic Feeder

Perfect for holidays or busy weeks! Bettas don’t do well with “holiday food blocks”, so a small programmable feeder is a far better option to keep them fed and happy while their human is away.

10. Aquarium Botanicals Starter Set

If your gift recipient loves that natural “blackwater” look, a little starter pack of leaves, seed pods, and cones will go down a treat. It’s an easy way to experiment with natural aquascaping.

11. Mini Tank Thermometer or Heater Guard

Small, affordable accessories that help maintain the right temperature make a huge difference — and show you’ve thought about their fish’s comfort.

12. Gift Voucher

If you’re unsure what they already have, a small gift voucher lets them choose their next piece of Betta décor or tank accessory.
