Betta Fish: Female alien betta are just as colorful!

I rarely ever get the chance to fully photograph my females but there just as colorful as the males, this is an alien female blue.

Many people asked me how aliens were created and the answer is that no one fully knows but many breeders here in Thailand said it was from a known breeder who worked at JJ MARKET who was experimenting with different morphs and variations from breeding captive bred species to other different variants and fancy types and ultimately came to the version before the full mask on these fish were present, the full mask only made an appearance in the past 10 years or so but have been selective bred and perfected from breeder to breeder sadly in the past allies had one of the most unfortunate health issues due to bad breeding but In more recent years many breeders have successfully improved their genetics and have made these species more healthier as they were today they’re on par with the same health rating as regular betta Splendens.

Just thought you’d find the timeline of this species interesting as they have become one of the most popular species in the hobby today , they’re a great start for anyone who wants to dip their toes into “wild types” this species is the starter species to get you closer to the true wild species because these still require wild like care to be successful at keeping the species healthy and thriving.
