{"product_id":"smaradina-guitar-wild-betta","title":"Smaradina guitar (Wild Betta)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Betta smaragdina \"Guitar\" is a stunning wild-type betta line prized for its dark body overlaid with brilliant blue and turquoise metallic scaling that catches the light like polished stone. A member of the Betta splendens complex from the Isan region of Thailand and Laos, this \"Guitar\" form retains the sleek, natural body shape and understated elegance of a wild betta while showing off intense blue-green iridescence, especially when a male flares. Hardier and more even-tempered than fancy show bettas, it appeals to keepers who appreciate wild-type character and natural beauty over exaggerated finnage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epH: 6.0–7.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature: 76–82°F (24–28°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater Type: Freshwater (soft, slightly acidic preferred)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTank Size: 5+ gallons (10+ for a pair)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperament: Peaceful to semi-aggressive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTank Mates: Small peaceful fish (rasboras, small tetras, Corydoras, snails); males best kept singly or as a bonded pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax Size: ~2.5–3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiet: Carnivore leaning omnivore (quality betta pellets, frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, daphnia, and small live foods)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes: A bubble-nesting species that appreciates a well-planted tank with gentle flow, subdued lighting, and a tight-fitting lid, as it is an accomplished jumper and a labyrinth breather that gulps surface air. Males are less aggressive than Betta splendens, but will still display and spar, so provide sightline breaks and cover. Wild-type bettas can be kept as pairs or even carefully managed small groups in larger, densely planted setups. Color deepens with a varied protein diet, stable soft water, and a mature, calm environment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oranda Aquarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53945090343228,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/9097\/0684\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_e1ef197b-33c4-4a55-aacb-6de9201db006.jpg?v=1785275993","url":"https:\/\/orandaaquarium.com\/products\/smaradina-guitar-wild-betta","provider":"Oranda Aquarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
