Introducing my newest betta, Métis! Got him at PetSmart a few weeks ago, but I had him at the boyfriend's place and only just brought him home today. He's not an aggressive betta at all, which is strange to me because Jojo Chinto is so flare-happy. He is also very small compared to Jojo (who is almost three times bigger!) so I'm guessing he is really young still.

Another thing I find weird is his colouring. He is pinkish/white with random red spots. His head is also a darker pink colour. Not sure if he just hasn't developed his colour fully, or if he is just a weird looking betta ;)

Can anyone tell me if his colour will change eventually?

Looks like a dalmation. I have a female version of him.

Granted in the image she's missing a piece of her tail.
 
I don't think his color will change. I've had my female a good 2 months at least and she's the same. If anything her spots got darker and more noticeable.

The only betta I've had that changed colors was a blue/white butterfly HM male. He had a 50% white tail and 2 months later I was looking at him and thinking..."I could have sworn he was more white" And I looked back through photos and sure enough he had lost all the white and it was replaced with a lighter blue than the rest of his body.
