Alien Betta Green Hybrid | Rare Bettas

Green Alien Hybrid betta from a breeder in Vietnam.

IMPORTED in may approximately 8 months old

From the Betta Splendens Complex.

Sometimes referred to as Teal, this has a beautiful coloration of green/teal throughout the body. Aliens are a hybridization of different types of wild bettas and are considered a type of wild hybrid.  Traits of "Alien" include full facial mask, spread iridescence that cover the fins and the body as well as webbing on the caudal fins.

Green is the result of having a Homozygous metallic gene over Homozygous iridescence (turquoise). However, "grass green" is the result of the homozygous metallic gene over Heterozygous iridescence (royal blue). Both types are considered "green". A way to differentiate "green" from "teal" is that green always has metallics which changes color depending on the angle of lights.
