    🌑🌿 Green Spade Tail Wild Betta splendens Male | Blackwater Line

    The Green Spade Tail Wild Betta splendens Male reflects the natural form of early splendens lines, selected for health, balance, and subtle green 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 natural behavior rather than exaggerated finnage.

    This listing is intended for keepers who value restraint, patience, and environment-driven coloration.


    🌿 Blackwater Green Expression

    In blackwater, the body darkens and settles. With time, a soft green sheen appears beneath the surface—moss-like, muted, and organic. 🌿✨ The coloration resembles shaded foliage and algae-covered stone rather than bright metallic green.

    Green expression is subtle and angle-dependent, visible under low lighting and calm conditions. In clear or brightly lit tanks, this coloration may remain faint. This fish reveals its color slowly as it becomes comfortable in its environment.

    The spade tail structure preserves traditional wild splendens form—compact, efficient, 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 green coloration to develop 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.
    11. Patience: Give the Betta time to acclimate, which may take a few days.
