Wedding Centerpiece Ideas: Betta Splendens Fish
Even the universe has lots kinds of beautiful fishes, my favorite is betta fish. They vary in sizes and colors, with beautiful vibrant colors and long flowing tails. The fish oftenly said to be the nicest looking freshwater fish. Two Betta fishes of the same gender can not be kept in the same water site or else, they will start to fight each other. In Siam, they call betta fish “Siamese Fighting Fish” due to this behavior. Dreaming of throwing wedding party as Ariel, princess of the sea, this idea of setting those betta fish can be considered a perfect choice. It is also cost less because you only have to fill one water site with one fine betta fish. Best breakthrough wedding centerpiece among all wedding centerpiece ideas!
Having fishes as wedding reception table centerpiece also add perfect touch if you are throwing a beach wedding or a pool-side wedding reception. Betta fish have been discovered to come naturally in all sorts of colors. Common colors of betta fish are red, blue, and green. They are also found to come in combinations of those colors, resulting very unique colorations. These bright colorful combinations also will match your summer and spring wedding and may cheer your cold winter and brown fall wedding themes perfectly.
You don’t have to worry about all the fish will need. Like any other fishes, betta fish will need water and wares as water tanks. As wedding reception table centerpieces, use tall medium sized glass vases and fill three quarters of the glass with clean fresh water as the water tank. Betta fish requires little treatment in order to survive and thrive. They don’t need filters, skimmers, heaters, or any other setups. For additional beauty, you can also add small floating water plants, such peace lily plant, on top of the glass vases, Or you can sink some colorful marbles on the bottom of the vases.
After wedding reception, where will all the fishes go? These beautiful fish can also doubles as your wedding favors. The guests will gladly love to take a nature’s beauty home. While you can keep the rest of them to decorate your newly wed’s house’s interior.

In theory, this is a wonderful and beautiful idea.
However, Betta splendens are tropical fish, and they DO need a heater. The water temp should be around 77 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit. They should also be kept apart, as the will attack and fight eachother.
Stress is also a factor. Vibrations from music and table motion can cause stress, as well as tapping on the glass and having people pour things into the bowl. Sometimes, stress will cause them to bite their own tail, and can be fatal.
The water must also be safe for them. You need to have the right temp, pH, and you need to condition the water.
All in all, Live animals are not ment to be decor. If your wedding colors were black and white, you wouldn’t keep Dalmatian puppies in cages as decor, would you? Instead, use flowers, shells, glass stones, floating candles, etc.. instead of fish.
