Romania International Betta Show 2026
Romania International Betta Show is a specialised competition dedicated to Betta splendens, one of the most recognisable aquarium fish species for its colours, patterns, and distinctive fins.
The participating fish are entered into different competition categories and evaluated according to international standards. Judges examine elements such as body shape, fins, symmetry, colour, patterns, condition and general presentation.
The Bucharest competition is included in the official calendar of the International Betta Congress.
What Visitors Can See at the Betta Show
The public can see the competition entries and discover the variety of colours, fin shapes and patterns found among Betta fish.
The event offers a different experience from a conventional pet exhibition. Its main focus is the careful evaluation and presentation of the fish, allowing visitors to understand how competition specimens are classified and judged.
The show is suitable for aquarium enthusiasts, breeders, families and visitors interested in discovering an unusual international competition in Bucharest.
