Blue Alien Hybrid betta from a breeder in Thailand.
From the Betta Splendens Complex.
Beautiful coloration of copper throughout the body. Copper is one of the most unique colors for the bettas as you can see hints of various colors depending on the angle of the light. First discovered and named "alien" due to the weird shape of their head. Over several generations, hobbyist have worked on fixing that and creating what you see today, making it an extraordinary betta.
All males come from the same lineage and are generally similar.
