Betta Unimaculata Sp. Azure Wild Pair 6cm

The Betta Unimaculata Sp. Azure (Betta unimaculata sp. ‘Azure’) is a stunning locality variant of the One-Spot Betta, native to the clear, fast-flowing hill streams and rivers of Borneo. The Azure form is particularly prized for its exceptional blue iridescence — a vivid azure-blue wash over the fins and body that sets it apart from other unimaculata variants. A large, robust paternal mouthbrooder with a bold personality, this is a showpiece species for the experienced wild Betta keeper.

Compatibility Note

These fish can be aggressive, and even compatible individuals or pairs may not get along permanently. Please have a Plan B ready, such as a separate, appropriately sized tank, in case they need to be separated.
