Red Hellboy HMPK Male 4cm

The Red Hellboy Halfmoon Plakat (Betta splendens) is a bold and intensely coloured variety, characterised by its deep red body with contrasting dark edging on the fins — a pattern that gives this fish its fierce “Hellboy” name. The HMPK tail form combines the full 180° spread of a Halfmoon with the short, powerful fins of a Plakat.
