I noticed that since I've had Buddha, his face has been a little paler than the rest of his body. I've seen what a Royal Blue veiltail looks like, but in the light, Buddha's face is a grey, not so much black. Buddha is older than the betta my friend got at the same time (because hers looked like a female at the time but is now full grown), and I was wondering if there is a specific way to tell.
He is pretty shy so I can't tell exactly how active he is because he likes to cower in the dark/under his "toys." He also doesn't like to jump for food or poke the pingpong ball.
He's not lethargic because he does swim around often, and he doesn't sleep until around night time (when the light goes off).
I just think, he might be a bit older haha
