copper hybrid variation of smaragdina guitar

Smaragdina guitar are a hardy "splendens" type fish originating from northeastern Thailand. They are generally very hardy compare to other splenden type and can tolerate lower temperatures. Betta smaragdina guitars are known from the "snake like" facial scaling and spider web pattern on their caudal fins. These are the wild type coloration with metallic green, though smaragdinas tend to have higher metallic and less iridesence so their color shimmer differently than other splendens.
