Super Delta Betta (Betta splendens)
The Super Delta Betta is a breathtaking variety of Siamese Fighting Fish, prized for its wide, flowing tail. Unlike a standard Delta, the Super Delta’s tail can spread up to 170° when fully flared, creating a striking fan-like display. They come in a wide range of colors and patterns, often with shimmering iridescent scales that catch the light beautifully.
