His tail wasn't missing.... he could be considered a runt.... betta fry release a growth hormone as they get bigger that stunts the growth of their younger siblings.... Dancer's growth was stunted....

Ok... lol... and yes, putting bettas into cups was the only way I could get a picture with my old cell phone.... by the time the picture would snap the betta would be on the other side of the tank and I would be left with a picture of a plant... or a plain wall if I was REALLY lucky.... lol... loving my new camera... though I still cup some of my bettas since my camera takes better pictures in natural light

Yup that's the marble gene for you! This is the reason for my fascination of marbles and having them as beautiful swimming works f art that obviously love change lol.

He is a very nice looking male. You might also be in store for some extra marbling. He is still young. Is there any particular pattern you would like to see?

Also he might even marble into a butterfly male because the butterfly gene is connected to marbles as well. When breeding a marble and continuing the line, you will eventually end up with some nice butterfly's with some selective breeding in the process.
