Salamander Halfmoon Plakat Male Betta 4cm

The Salamander Halfmoon Plakat Male Betta (Betta splendens) is a striking and unusual variety, featuring a mottled pattern of earthy tones — typically blending blacks, browns, and creams — reminiscent of a salamander's skin. The Halfmoon Plakat tail form delivers a full 180° spread with the strength of short Plakat fins.
