Top 5 Rare Betta Fish Types in Canada

Top 5 Rare Betta Fish Types in Canada

Betta fish are known for their vibrant colors and stunning fin shapes, but some types are so rare they’re true showstoppers. At Midas Aquatics, we specialize in sourcing and shipping rare Bettas across Canada.

Here are five of the most stunning and unique Betta fish you can own.

1. Alien Betta

  • Look: Metallic green or blue with a webbed pattern and dragon-like scales

  • Why it's rare: Crossbred from wild and domesticated strains

  • Personality: Active and curious

Alien Bettas are truly out of this world. Their shimmering bodies and bold presence make them a favorite among collectors.

2. Koi Betta

  • Look: Marble pattern in red, white, black, orange, or yellow—like a living Koi fish

  • Why it's rare: Each one is uniquely patterned; no two are the same

  • Tail type: Often Plakat (short-finned), we do have rare veiltail koi as well

These Bettas change color over time thanks to the marble gene. Owning one is like having a living work of art.

3. Halfmoon Betta

  • Look: Large tail that fans out 180 degrees when flared

  • Why it's rare: High-quality Halfmoons are carefully bred for perfect symmetry

  • Tail type: Long-finned and very flowy

Ideal for show tanks, Halfmoons are breathtaking and come in nearly every color.

4. Galaxy Betta

  • Look: Deep, dark bodies speckled with star-like spots—like a starry night sky

  • Why it's rare: Result of selective marble crossbreeding

  • Tail type: Usually Plakat or Halfmoon

The Galaxy Betta’s cosmic look makes it a conversation starter in any tank.

5. Feathertail / Rosetail Betta

  • Look: Elaborate, feathery fins with extreme branching

  • Why it's rare: Only bred by experienced hobbyists due to high maintenance needs

  • Tail type: Like a Halfmoon, but more extravagant

These are among the most dramatic Bettas but require gentle water flow and extra care.
