A color I’ve never seen before!

[Briggan]

Hi
Earlier this week I bought a beautiful male crowntail betta with colors I’ve never seen in stores before. I call him Goose.
From what I can tell, he’s a metallic but I’d like some more opinions
Let me know what you think, thanks!

That is a different color, he has very nice fines

Very pretty. I love that metallic color. The tip of my bettas fins are that same metallic color. (The Betta you see in my avatar picture)

This color is really common in my country, you can get it only for 1 dollar

Interesting. He appears almost grayish. I have only seen that color once in person, and that was last year. I rarely see gray bettas.

Really wants one too, but no places left for more 5 Gal tank

Interesting, can I ask which country you live in?

WOW! Really? Here, to get a Betta that color/fin variation, it cost anywhere from $12-$20.

He lives in Thailand. (You can see it under his stats, “Location”. )

I was able to get him for about 5$ because he was with the other crowntails they were selling, but the other silvery bettas I’ve seen you have to order online for a much higher price

Oh, good for you! Yes, the ones they separate are very expensive. (I say very, I mean around $25, still a lot for one fish.)

Is this Copper gene added to "fancy" color?
