From the Betta Splenden Complex.

IUCN Red List: N/A

A very beautiful betta that is a hybrid variation of the Smaragdina Guitar. Compared to the regular Smaragdina guitar, they are genetically steel blue with no metallic genes. The combination of homozygous iridescence (steel blue) and no metallic genes cause them to have a steel grey appearance. They generally have a spade tail but some are round tail, young males can often have round tail that'll later become spadetail.

Genes for Iridescences : blbl

Genes for metallic: --
