Alien Copper wild betta male

An alien betta is a hybrid betta fish known for its striking, iridescent, and metallic appearance that differs from more common domesticated varieties. They are a crossbreed of different wild betta species, often including Betta splendens, Betta smaragdina, and Betta mahachaiensis. Males are characterized by their vibrant coloration and more prominent fins, often sporting parallel red or green bars on their cheeks. These fish, adapted to brackish, coastal mangrove swamps, require hard, slightly brackish water and thrive in tanks with leaf litter and floating plants, and can be kept in planted community tanks.
