The Betta Jade (Betta sp. ‘Jade’) is a rare and beautiful wild Betta from the blackwater peat swamps of southern Thailand, closely related to Betta simplex. It takes its name from the stunning jade-green iridescent scaling that shimmers across its body and fins — a subtle, jewel-like colouration that is best appreciated under soft, warm aquarium lighting. A mouthbrooding species with fascinating natural behaviours, the Betta Jade is a prized find for the dedicated wild Betta collector.Care Guide Tank Size: Minimum 40L per pair; best kept as a species-only pair Water Parameters: pH 5.0–7.0 | Temp 24–28°C | Soft, slightly acidic water; Indian almond leaves beneficial Diet: Carnivorous — live or frozen bloodworm, daphnia, and baby brine shrimp; can be trained to accept quality micro pellets Temperament: Mildly territorial; best kept as a pair in a species-only setup Tank Setup: Heavily planted with leaf litter, driftwood, and dim lighting; floating plants appreciated Skill Level: Advanced Max Size: 5cm
