What colors are considered rare for bettas ?
Would love to see pictures or links i can go to see rare ones,ive been bitten by the betta bug now & can really see myself getting into this
Well I know the "Holy Grail" bettas are the pure white ones with no discolorations or anything...but I'm not sure how rare they are! Green bettas (I've heard) are pretty rare.
I just spent a few minutes looking for a short video that imntbatman posted a long, long time ago. It was a beautiful veil tale, not one flaw or imperfection, a sparkling pure white gem. Darn, I wish I could find that vid. I've always wondered how much a fish like that would go for.
How much do you think a betta like that costs?
(I added a second one, did you see that one? Did an edit after the fact-thanks to iamntbatman for finding them for me. Do you think he'll buy me one for my birthday?? LOL)
I know this guy isn't quite as nice as the one in the video, but I only paid $13.99 at petco for him! He does have one light blue spot on his anal fin and is getting a pencil thin blue mustache now, but I imagine this happens to many opaques? Just keep looking at petco! Although... he has some tail problems now due to biting and some sort of infection so his tail isn't quite as nice anymore :-/
Wow he's beautiful!!! We don't seem to get any nice bettas here. Is there any website you can go on to find betta breeders in your area or anything like that? I live in England. Posted via Mobile Device
My copper was from walmart for $3.50. You just have to keep watching for them. I think mine was accidently sent to walmart though. lol I love coppers too.
lol well Albino I know is a rare coloring/type and the diamond eye bettas and flower horns are new although if any at the least I like diamond eyes not flower horns or albinos. Oh, I forgot and elephant ear bettas are kinda new to the hobby which are frowned upon....lol
I think the ones with ears look so neat! I love white ones too. I once saw a white one in the petstore and didnt buy it... regret!!!! I see them on aquabid all the time though... but usually from thailand... and i am skeptical about buying from thailand.... would like to try to buy from USA first.
the diamond eye and flowerhorn bettas aren't...... bred for. both are mutations that probably don't make for happy fish, since diamond eye is dragon scaling over the eye, and flowerhorn is some kind of bad bump, either a horridly bent spine or tumor of some kind.
i've heard orange is rare. also, while it's common to find in pet stores, orange dalmatian's not common in the breeder world, it seems.
Was rather sad to learn that green was so rare, because I'd absolutely love an emerald green VT ( I don't understand why, I don't much like green, and VTs are frowned upon, but I think it'd be beautiful.). My betta seems a bit oddly colored as well though, a strange light red color with hints of orange, that has an interesting silvery shimmer. I can't quite seem to capture this in a picture, sadly.
