This is my first Betta for a while, I rescued him from Walmart yesterday and seems very happy now. He is a black orchid CT, i'm new to the world of Bettas and am not sure if he is "beautiful" in your eyes, but I think his coloring is amazing. So tell me what you think I also have yet to come up with a name for him, so if you have any suggestions please share.
Thanks the employee at walmart really pushed my buttons.. I waited 10 minutes for him to come, and I asked him if he would change the water for me and he just walked away..
Don't know if you figured out a name yet, but if he were mine, I would consider Barnabas, Damien, or Gomez. I guess I am just thinking about names I associate with dark colors.
The red may be a side-effect of the lighting when taking pictures, kinda like red-eye but in fish scales and fins. lol
I've seen color-changes happen in images before. Like, a betta will look paler or darker sometimes, because of lighting.
I had a royal blue veiltail, but mostly my camera made him look solid black.
He's gorgeous though.
If you can see the red normally though, probably a black devil.
I hate walmart, personally. Got banned for flipping out on the fish-boy. Lol.
lots of bettas (particularly the more active ones) tuck their ventrals up most of the time, it makes them more streamlined. betta (and most gourami) ventrals really serve little to no purpose for swimming, and are usually used only as communication devices, which is why the stand down so stiffly when flared.
