He could be. His tails are really long. They are really skinny and branch off in tons of different directions. She also bought him at Wal-Mart.

Oh, then he's a crowntail.


I don't know if king bettas come in crowntails. Maybe he's just a really, really big betta.

Yeah, it's the water. In the first picture Bo looked a little pale, but by the third picture his color was much deeper. I brought Snowy because I liked how white he was. Now he's a mix of green and blue. A similar thing happened with Luigi. I named him Luigi because he was green and I had a red betta already who I named Mario. By the end of the third month he changed from green to steel blue.

It would have been kind of cool if Snowy stayed white and Luigi stayed green, but I don't mind them changing colors if it means they are healthier. Unfortunately, their names no longer make any sense when people see them. Add that to the fact that I didn't take pictures of them the day I brought them and you get a bunch of people who think I suck at naming fish. T_T

same thing happened to my cellophane that had a few light black spots on his tail, almost 3 months later he is 3/4 black and just a little cellophane. I had named him Elric after Elric of Melnibone, the albino sorcerer, but now he is PePe LePew because he grew a black mustache so I thought he looked like a French character, but now it is outlining his whole mouth, so I give up...:)-........
