Alien Betta Fish – Description & Lifespan
Description:
Alien bettas are a unique and visually striking hybrid variety of betta fish, created by selectively crossbreeding multiple species of wild bettas—such as Betta splendens, Betta mahachaiensis, and others. These hybrids are prized for their distinctive appearance, featuring a dark body (usually black or deep brown) overlaid with vivid metallic hues—typically blues, greens, or purples. Their scales have an iridescent, almost futuristic look, which is how they earned the name "Alien" bettas.
They often have a more streamlined body and slightly different finnage compared to the traditional fancy bettas, and their personalities can sometimes be more assertive due to their wild ancestry.
Lifespan:
With proper care, Alien bettas typically live 3 to 5 years in captivity. A well-maintained tank, good water quality, a balanced diet, and minimal stress can help them reach the higher end of this range.
