Macropodus spechti “Royal Blue”

8. March 2024

We have again received a nice number of beautiful domestic offspring of this extraordinarily beautiful black paradise fish (Macropodus spechti “Royal Blue”). For the history of this variant see https://www.aquariumglaser.de/en/25-perchlike-fishes/macropodus-spechti-royal-blue-2/

In the meantime, the fish have been further developed in terms of breeding and are preferably bred with animals that – very similar to Belontia signata – have many extended fin rays in the caudal fin. Both males and females show this characteristic. It is very similar to the crown tail of Betta splendens.

For our customers: the animals have code 425613 on our stocklist. Please note that we only supply wholesale.
