I've heard some people say they have a dream betta. I wouldn't really say I have one but I do have some coloration's that are just to die for. There's some colors I would love to have but I wouldn't exactly call them my "dream" betta..

Do you guys have a dream betta?

I've already had him. He was glorious. He was a true purple butterfly EEHM I stumbled upon at a Petco. I named him Professor Plum and he lived for about 2 years in a 5 gallon all his own. I will never again have such a perfect fish. And I miss him.

My dream betta is a dumbo koi, although I'm not decided on the tail type. I actually had my own line started but due to personal reasons I had to give up breeding.

My boyfriend's (who isn't that into fish) dream betta was a black butterfly CT. Earlier this year I stumbled upon one on Aquabid and bought him. He passed away suddenly, however, when I went on holiday and my boyfriend was looking after everyone - not his fault though, he did everything he could. Today a friend of mine sent me a picture of another black butterfly CT, but this one is a true show quality fish. He's $80 though and I don't have that kind of money at the moment :( Buuut someone we know bought him and will probably breed him so maybe I'll get a baby in a few months time :)

I've had many dream Bettas. I have also acquired many of them. I have a white CT, I've had a mustard gas HMPK, I've had three giants now. I've had three elephant ears. I have a koi. I don't really have any dream Bettas at this moment.

I've got my dream Betta! He is a Black Dragon PK. This is Prince Onyx II:

My boy, Paris, was my dream betta. HM mustard gas. :love: He was named over a month before I bought him, and three months before he even arrived!

The pictures posted on AquaBid: link.

Photos I took of him when he was in quarantine:







I think he's stunning. I love his perma-grumpy little pug face that just seems to look that little bit grumpier when I tell him he looks like a pretty sunflower. Gives me that, "you stupid human stop baby-talking me and hand over the bloodworms" look. :love:

I found two of my dream bettas. I wanted a red, white, and blue boy and a black and white boy. I found the latter in my second betta and waited three months after that before the first one could be found. Sam is the CT and Chess is Delta (whose faint white scales looked like a chess board XD They look fainter in the picture -_-)

@DangerousAngel I think you've made Onyx my dream fish too, LOL. I do really want a giant. And a black orchid crowntail. And... Well, let's just say I like a lot of fish :p

I don't necessarily have a dream betta right now, but I like to believe I already own one of the most gorgeous bettas I will ever see; in my own opinion.



I feel like everyday I find something new that I enjoy about him. The downside is he takes the most disappointing pictures, never shows all of his colors. His face is just so unique (he has a little white chin, makes him look like a grumpy bulldog) and he has a variety of different colored shiny scales when you get him in the light. I don't think he's quite a year old yet, but he's getting close. I'm going to be so sad when he passes, I've never seen a betta quite like him. And he has a wonderful personality and amazing health to boot!

Oh I think I read about Yuzu in the "One that got away" thread! Yuzu is very pretty! Kind of jealous you got him from a Petsmart! My local one doesn't take care of them at all :( They also never get any pretty ones.

Right now a female similar to my male but female. I love my little Edward so he is like a dream Betta to me.

My dream betta would have to be a pure black Halfmoon. My second favourite would be a pure white halfmoon. I've always wanted a EE, but I wouldn't go so far to call it a dream betta. It would just be cute to have. :)

Mine will be a jet black HM EE butterfly, with bright red bands. I haven't decided if I'll work on dragon scaling or not but when I get the money I'm definitely starting this project!

Opaque black pair to Start and a dark color EE pair, then I have to figure out how to get the bands

I really hope to have a HM (Or "half sun" in a magical world) EE, I'd like some nice darker tones to offset those white ears. I had a "one that got away" moment because my lady and I are dead set on having a FULLY cycled tank before we stick a fish in there, and he was a mottled blue/white boy with EE. Couldn't tell his tail type, but oh, my heart. I saw him twice, TWICE, before he seemed to disappear. Last time I was in that store, there was a "similar" one who looked like they could have been a sibling, but oh... not the same.

Also in love with koi patterns, the dragonscale metallics, and rosetails. A Rosetail EE with drop dead colors? Take my money now (and finish my tank for me)
