The term "copper alien female" primarily refers to a specific, vibrant color morph of a female Alien Betta fish, a popular hybrid bred for the aquarium hobby. These fish are known for their striking, iridescent appearance.
About the Copper Alien Female Betta
- Appearance: These bettas have a dark body with a luminous, metallic sheen in warm coppery tones. The "Alien" trait refers to their unique fin structure and all-over iridescence (often called a "full mask") that distinguishes them from common Betta splendens. Female Alien Bettas typically have a more compact, rounded physique and shorter fins compared to the males.
- Temperament: Like other bettas, they are territorial, but females can often be housed together in a "sorority" tank, provided there is adequate space and plenty of hiding spots. They can also be housed in a community tank with peaceful, non-fin-nipping fish species.
- Care: They thrive in water temperatures between 75°F to 82°F (24°C to 28°C) and prefer a pH range of 6.5 to 7.5. They are carnivorous and can be fed a diet of high-quality pellets, frozen bloodworms, and live blackworms.
