Betta Color

[tyonekura]

Currently I have three Bettas. The colors of these Bettas seem to darken and brighten the longer that I have them. The newest one I got because he was an off-white color so pale that I can see his innereds. I had never seen one this color.

Does anyone know if Betta color devolops over time? I have heard that the lighter the color the younger the fish, and with age comes more color. Is this true?

I can tell u from my own experience that bettas change color every so often. My old betta was blue and black at the start, grew a red ghue at the belly later on, and eventualy came out a dark purple body in the end(this was thru a long period of time) Im no betta expert but thats my experience. I am shure some people have gone thru the same thing.

Your betta most likely will stay white. There are white/transparent colored bettas. IMO they are beautiful and I would love to have one next.

my yellow female gets black stripes sometimes, only when she is thinking about eggs...

bettas change colour depending on mood and temperature. If the colours become brighter then it is either temperature related, or he is a lot happier now. My old betta changed from blue/purple to almost red when I got him because he was kept at a higher temperature, and had a more suitable environment.

I'm not sure a white betta would change much, simply because there isn't much colour there to start with, though he may develop some yellowness, which one of mine did. I personally think they're beautiful though. :)
