She's a pretty girl! Happy she landed up in a good home and you're loving her so much!
I'm a betta beginner, but a lot of the marble/koi bettas apparently can change colours a lot between 3-6 months of age, so keep taking photos, because as well as colouring up and perking up now in a good home, she'll likely change a bit as she matures too! Found that out from a betta seller/hobbyist at the event yesterday, was pointing out which fish would change colours as they mature, and then some fish that they'd likely end up looking like - which was more like a koi betta
Your before/after photos remind me of those fish I saw yesterday! I almost got one, thought it would be fun to watch the colours develop over time. But the blue boy kept drawing me back, and I wasn't going to give in to the people trying to get me to take a female betta too!
Mine doesn't have a name yet, I want a name for him and the hoplo at least, but rubbish at picking names! Will have to get photos then ask for suggestions.
@Sparx seems a good person to ask! Like the suggestions you made! Like
@TwoTankAmin , I worry about naming them meaning I'll lose them, and don't name all my fish, but some, like a single betta, you just have to!
Especially since you and Patches are developing a happy relationship where she has you well-trained
It is a really heartwarming thing! Wishing you have many happy years together!
