salamanders is actually some kind of butterfly, here is my HMPK "Oceanist" he was a salamander (before he passed away):

salamanders are known as a white tipped BF (butterfly) mostly have red fins but there are several more colors like yellow, purple, and the rarest "blue"

 

Wow they are pretty,i am planning to get a hmpk from a breeder but he said he only has salamanders.So i will get a salamander soon!

 

Salamanders contain three colors. One must be the white butterfly pattern on all fins and ventrals.

The other two colors can be anything but they must not be a wash. The body will be one color and then from the body and into the fins will be another.

 

mr.v i have a HMPK and i'm thinking he is a multi-color but he does has white tips:

am just curious :\ his fins are like purple, but it shimmers green and blue :I he has his ventrals white tipped aswell

 

I've always thought that salamanders were multi - distinct combination of blue-red which many SE Asians call lavender.

 

idk, am still learning loads of stuff :lol:

 

I'm still a little confused as to what exactly a salamander is; I just know that a lot of salamander betta I see are very pretty. I've never been very good with colors. What I'm most curious about is how the color pattern got the name "salamander"? How does amphibian = color combination?

What do you mean by wash?

 

red spash/wash same thing, it is like some multicolor, Example, DBT male:

the red wash/spash is on his anal and bottom caudal fin

 

This is my female salamander, or so I was told. Though she matches other salamanders I have seen

hope this helps some
