About how long did it take for him to grow into his colors, and get as big as he is now? I just bought a petco baby, and while I can tell he is growing and have an idea as to his/her color I am so impatient lol chicks hatch faster then these things grow!

I don't know how old this one is but I had him in my care for about 20 days. The first day I brought him home he was kind of transparent and had two blue stripes down his body, I thought he was stressed but he just didn't form solid colors yet. Baby bettas are a lot of fun to watch them grow!

Look underneath between the two fins that hang down, towards the front, is there a white dot? If so you have a female.

such a big difference from the first day i got him! he's so dark blue and red that the camera doesn't even pick up the colors :-/ his tail is still growing every week!

I agree with MyRainbowBettaFish. It does look like a Veiltail.

hmmm, right now it looks more like a delta. the 2nd picture is when he isn't in full flare, but there's still a possibility that it is a VT. wait and see :)
