    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.

    ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’™ Wild Smaragdina Blue Male Betta Fish | Botanical Blackwater Line

    The Wild Smaragdina Blue Male Betta Fish brings the beauty of wild Betta genetics into a natural botanical aquarium. Known for its deep blue-green metallic scales, dark natural body, and compact wild-form fins, Smaragdina displays its best character when surrounded by tannins, botanicals, and subdued lighting.

    This is not a Betta meant for a bright, sterile display tank. Dark botanical or blackwater conditions are strongly recommended to help the fish feel secure and showcase its natural coloration.

    ๐ŸŒŒ Blue That Comes Alive in Blackwater

    Under soft lighting and against dark, tannin-stained water, the Smaragdina's scales can flash from emerald blue to turquoise and metallic blue-green as the fish moves. ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒฟ

    Color intensity can change depending on lighting, stress level, environment, and viewing angle. Once settled into a mature botanical aquarium, its natural metallic pattern becomes much more noticeable.

    ๐Ÿ‚ Recommended Botanical Blackwater Setup

    • ๐Ÿ Botanicals: Indian almond leaves, seed pods, and natural leaf litter
    • ๐Ÿชต Hardscape: Driftwood, roots, and natural hiding areas
    • ๐ŸŒฟ Plants: Floating plants and low-light aquatic plants
    • ๐ŸŒ‘ Water: Tannin-rich dark or botanical water recommended
    • ๐Ÿ’ก Lighting: Low to moderate, preferably subdued
    • ๐Ÿ’ง Flow: Gentle water movement
    • ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Environment: Warm, stable, established aquarium

    A darker botanical environment helps create the calm, shaded habitat that complements the natural behavior and appearance of Wild Smaragdina Bettas.

    Customer photo review of Wild Smaragdina Guitar Copper Male Betta Fish

    I am smitten with my copper smaragdina guitar. He arrived very healthy and I purchased the weather protection shipping. I received my bettas in fantastic packaging. I asked for a delay in shipping due to triple digit temperatures and received a prompt reply guaranteeing a safe and fast shipment date chosen to mitigate high temp travel for my bettas. He is getting his coloration back and should be turning burgundy soon, I highly recommend purchasing from TropicFlow and am about to purchase a second copper smaragdina guitar. Thanks Kai!
