Our Story
Lone Star Bettas has partnered with Smart Start Bettas to bring you Texas bred and raised bettas. Hand selected out of thousands raised right here in Texas where we know the parents of each offspring.
Lone Star Bettas has changed main operations over to producing Texas bred and raised Guppies along with imported strains for breeders.
Our Fish
I take pride in the fish we breed and treat each one as if they were going to be our own. You can have peace of mind knowing that each fish is meticulously cared for by folks with a passion for bettas and guppies
Both bettas and guppies are either bred and raised by us in Central Texas or are hand selected from a trusted source. What you see is what you get. I will never post a picture of a fish and then send you a different fish unless you are notified of an issue with the fish you selected ahead of time. If it’s known to have marble gene I will put that in description of fish.

Dragon Bettas
The Dragon betta fish is a popular variety of betta fish. They come in a few colors like black, red and yellow, and they also have a few different tail types: Half Moon Plakat, Veil Tail, and Half Moon. It is known for its vibrant, metallic scales that have a shimmering, iridescent effect. The scales are often described as having a "dragon-like" appearance, hence the name.
Blue Marble Bettas
This variety of betta is known for its ever changing pattern because of the marble gene. Don’t blink too long or you will think someone swapped out your baby for another one. (Brings back childhood memories)
Alien Bettas
Alien bettas are a new hybrid breed of betta fish created by cross-breeding various species of wild bettas. Due to their unique colorations and patterns, they have become increasingly popular among aquarium hobbyists. This variety of betta is known to be a jumper so be prepared with a lid on tank. Also comes in a variety of colors like blue, green, copper and a few tail varieties.
Blue Rim Bettas
Physical color characteristics is the one type of marble breeding for pattern like butterfly body and clean white on body with half on fin and blue color rim on fin. These do have the marble gene so it’s highly likely they will change color patterns.
Samurai Bettas
Probably one of my favorites, the samurai betta is known for its coloration of black and white resemblance to a samurai warrior's attire. New captive breeding has developed six known colors: black, red, white, orange, blue, and green.
Mamba Bettas
Found in black and red, their colors are closely matched to samurai, although, they are larger and more aggressive than a samurai. These guys have a stunning sheen to their scales.
Hellboy Bettas
Red and yellow are the two known colors of the Hellboy betta. Red is the most present and defining color of the Hellboy Betta, although the gradation of color can vary. While all Plakat bettas are eye-candy, the Hellboy Plakat betta is a one-of-a-kind, high-quality specimen. The Hellboy Plakat betta has a beautiful half-moon tail that spans 180 degrees on its posterior. They come in several tail patterns with my personal favorite being the Star Tail pattern.
Yellow Fancy Star Tail Bettas
The Yellow Fancy Star Tail betta has metallic scales with progressive marble gene. Its colors will get more intensified over time.
Red Snow Bettas
This betta variant has a white body with red trim and dragon scales. This quality gives its body a similar appearance to that of shimmering snow which is where its name is derived from. This is a stunning betta to have in a collection due to it being a well rounded betta that is very appealing to the eye.
