Alien Betta – Male (Assorted)

Scientific Name: Betta splendens hybrid
Common Name: Alien Betta
Sex: Male

The Alien Betta is a striking Betta variety known for its intense metallic coloration, dark contrasting body, and wild-type-inspired appearance. Males commonly display brilliant shades of blue, green, turquoise, copper, and other iridescent tones that can appear to change depending on the lighting and viewing angle.

Their distinctive metallic scaling and streamlined appearance give Alien Bettas a noticeably different look from traditional domestic Betta varieties. Each individual develops its own combination of coloration, markings, and iridescence, making every fish unique.

Adult Size: Approximately 2.5–3 inches
Minimum Tank Size: 5 gallons recommended
Temperature: 76–82°F

Recommended Setup: Keep in a heated, filtered aquarium with gentle water movement. Live plants, driftwood, smooth décor, hiding areas, and resting spots near the surface create an excellent environment. Bettas also require easy access to the water's surface to breathe atmospheric air using their labyrinth organ.

Feed a high-quality Betta pellet as the primary diet, supplemented with appropriately sized frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms.

Tankmates: Male Alien Bettas are territorial and should never be housed with another male Betta. Some individuals may live successfully with carefully selected peaceful tankmates in an appropriately sized aquarium, but temperament varies between individual fish.
