Hi! I'm in love with my betta! Who on here isn't, right?
Well since I got him on Saturday I've discovered he may not be a halfmoon, but a super delta, may not be just a marble, but a marble with dragonscale. A whole lot of maybes!
So maybe I could have a few of you more experienced folks help me identify him correctly!
Here is a short video of him going around his side of the 10g he shares with another male. For better views you can see pictures of him in my album titled 'Seiya'! =D
Sorry about the not so great video (at least I got the important bits >.< ) I keep forgetting that turning my phone to match the angle of what I'm filming doesnt mean my screen flips too xD Sorry for the side view!
I am not super experienced as I have only owned one betta but based off the pictures i have seen of other betta who have been classified I think he looks like a marble delta... I bet one of the breeders would be able to give you a more educated answer.
I love the coloring! I don't usually like the white or clear fish much but his colors are so pretty!
Thanks for all the replies guys. And I've seen the thread but sometimes examples and descriptions don't do it justice. And here I can show him off a bit more. Also his tail-type is the hardest for me because when he's fully flared I'm not sure if he's a full 180 or like 170ish. He's almost there, and I know he has clear growth after the white in his caudal fin, but it's very hard to see.
Been doing several hours of research and comparing other betta pics to him. I think he's a marble super delta with some dragonscaling. I also think he's a bit young (younger than my VT) and so I'll just watch and see what happens. If with healthier conditions his scales fill-out or not. And I'm excited to see how he'll change if he does.
OOOOOOOOooh, he's sooo pretty :') and cute! I love his colors and when he flared out omgomgomg, just beautiful. I've also been wondering how to tell if you have a marbled betta.. I just bought my new fish Petey yesterday and I have no idea to tell if he's marble. His colors are blotched all over the place and his fins are clear... this is a pic of him: http://www.bettafish.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=70784&stc=1&d=1355411998
I think yours is a marble, but could also be a multicolor...I'm fairly new to this too.
I have been watching Seiya flare for a while and he IS a halfmoon! =D He just doesnt go for maximum flare all the time, but several different times he has tonight and it's definitely a straight 180 degree flare ^^
I feel so lucky, I had hoped to find an interesting betta (a mix of colors, tail type and something nifty) but never really thought I'd walk away from my lfs with such a cool little guy ^^
