    🌑🍂 Copper Spade Tail Wild Betta splendens Male | Blackwater Line

    The Copper Spade Tail Wild Betta splendens Male represents a return to natural form—selected for health, structure, and authentic copper expression that develops best in tannin-rich blackwater environments. This is a wild-style splendens with a classic spade-shaped tail, bred for endurance and balance rather than exaggerated finnage.

    This listing is intended for keepers who value natural behavior, subtle coloration, and long-term vitality.

    🍁 Blackwater Copper Expression

    In blackwater, the body darkens and stabilizes. Over time, a warm copper sheen emerges across the scales—soft, earthy, and understated. 🟤✨ The color resembles oxidized metal and wet leaf litter under filtered light.

    Copper tones are strongest under low lighting with stable parameters. In bright or sterile tanks, coloration may appear muted. This fish reveals itself gradually as stress fades and conditions settle.

    The spade tail form reflects traditional wild splendens genetics—compact, functional, and built for steady swimming.

    🌿 Recommended Blackwater Setup

    • ✔️ Indian almond leaves or mixed botanicals
    • ✔️ Natural driftwood and leaf litter
    • ✔️ Soft, slightly acidic water
    • ✔️ Low lighting and gentle flow
    • ✔️ Calm, established aquarium

    These conditions allow copper coloration to surface naturally and remain stable.

    Direction

    Acclimating Your Betta Fish

    1. Temperature Match: Ensure the new tank's water temperature matches the water the Betta fish was previously in.
    2. Float the Bag: Float the bag with the Betta fish in the new tank for 15-20 minutes to adjust to the temperature.
    3. Gradual Water Mixing: Add small amounts of tank water into the bag every 5-10 minutes to help the fish adjust to new water parameters.
    4. Net Transfer: Gently transfer the Betta fish from the bag into the tank using a net.
    5. Dim Lighting: Keep tank lights off initially to reduce stress on the fish.
    6. Monitor Behavior: Watch for signs of stress and discomfort, adjusting as needed.
    7. Regular Observation: Check on the Betta fish frequently in the first days to ensure it's adjusting well.
    8. Water Testing: Regularly test water parameters to ensure they're suitable for Betta fish.
    9. Provide Hiding Places: Offer hiding spots to make the Betta feel secure.
    10. Avoid Overfeeding: Feed sparingly to maintain water quality.
