Description
Assorted Koi Plakat Male Betta (Betta splendens)
The Assorted Koi Plakat Male Betta is one of the most vibrant and sought-after betta varieties, selectively bred for its striking marble-like coloration that resembles ornamental koi fish. These short-finned bettas display an incredible mix of reds, oranges, yellows, whites, and blacks, with each individual showcasing a one-of-a-kind pattern. No two Koi Bettas are ever the same, making them a true living work of art for any aquarium.
As a Plakat variety, these bettas have shorter, stronger fins, giving them a sleek appearance and making them more active swimmers compared to long-finned bettas. They are hardy, intelligent, and interactive, often engaging with their keepers and showing off their brilliant colors. Perfect as a centerpiece for a nano aquarium or single-species tank.
