Victoria Hemmings –
Received a Black Dragon Plakat male and was amazed by the deep black color and metallic scales. The body is strong and the fins look well-developed. It’s exactly what I wanted for a bold, striking betta.
Sam Graham –
The fish arrived quickly and looked healthy. The black color is rich and the scales are clearly defined. A bit of variation in shade was expected since it’s a mystery pick, but still very impressive.
Olivia Rees –
This is one of the most visually striking bettas I’ve ever seen. The contrast between the black body and metallic scales is outstanding. I left a note for more scale coverage and it was honored.
