Mustard Flame Betta
Mustard flame bettas, also called mustard gas bettas, are bred for a full halfmoon fin display with aqua blue and mustard yellow fins.

These fish are magnificent show quality and difficult to breed.

The mustard flame betta is absolutely stunning. The blue and yellow fins create a beautiful display. I’ve had it for three months and it’s very active and healthy. Easy to maintain with a small tank and regular water changes.

Great show fish with a unique color pattern. I noticed the fin spread is impressive when the light hits it just right. It’s a bit aggressive with other males, so I kept it alone. Overall, a beautiful addition to my tank.
