Alien Blue Steel Plakat Betta
A striking hybrid betta, created by crossing domestic Betta splendens with wild species like B. smaragdina and B. imbellis. It has a streamlined, wild-type body and short Plakat fins for agility.

Key Features:

• Color: Metallic steel-blue or cobalt shimmer, shifting under light.
• Body: Sleek and athletic, more natural than long-finned varieties.
• Fins: Short, compact Plakat tail and fins—ideal for active swimming.
• Origin of Name: “Alien” comes from the unusual head shape seen in early specimens, refined through breeding.

Why It Stands Out:
It blends the elegance of wild bettas with the vivid colors of domesticated ones, making it hardy, active, and visually unique.
