Platinum Plakat Female (Betta splendens)

These bettas display a bright, metallic-white platinum colouration, giving a clean, luminous appearance that catches the light beautifully.

As a plakat, this female has short, robust fins rather than the long flowing fins of other betta types, tracing back to the fighting bettas historically bred across Southeast Asia, giving a hardier, more compact build.

Juveniles often don't display full colouration and become more and more vivid as they age, making them fascinating to watch as they change.
