Would a betta like the one here ever look like he did initially? It's hard to believe it's the same fish.

that looks real sketchy to me. I've heard of marbles changing color, but that's rediculous. Maybe it's possible... but then I wouldn't put my money on him going back to his "original" coloring. Too weird.

i keep guppys and i know between 3 months of age and 5 months of age they completely change color seemingly over night. and i know with bettas when they are young their colors will change up to a full year of age, but that my friend is just not possible right there that seller needs to be reported or atleast the people on the aquabid forum need to be warned.

Hi,

I did a check of the other fish up for auction by the same seller. I found a fish that looks like it could be the one from that first picture.

I agree that a change that drastic seems a bit "fishy".

There is no way that can be the same fish i know some of these guys are specialists at getting the best photos but thats rediculous

Ever thought they may have used the wrong picture?

 

[betta_CT]

no way could that happen summin realy fishy going on there
u can see on the 2nd pic the ventral are a diffrent shape and size

to give the guy the benefit of the doubt, its quite possible he just uploaded the wrong picture. he's a breeder, he probably has tons of pictures. Not sure, email him and question him about it. Only way to know for sure, and to save yourself from wrongfully slandering someone for an honest mistake................

I don't think the seller make a mistaken to uploading the pictures. It always asked you to comfirmed at least 3 times to show you the pictures before it posts up for auction. Words can type wrong but not pictures.
Seller do cheated by buying betta from Thailand. Therefore, he just sell it like it is and pretending it is ok.

That doesn't make sense.

How is he cheating (by getting a Thailand betta) when he says he bought it for a breeder but now doesn't need it anymore. That picture is two pics made into one (don't think so? Right click and copy it..then paste it in MSPaint...you get 2 pictures instead of one). I'm not saying yay or nay on what is going on...but he could have just used the wrong bottom picture when combining the two..and he just clicked ok when it asked, without really looking at the picture.


I'm really curious now, exactly what is wrong with Thailand betta's? You're always ragging on them.

The seller had to have posted the picture on purpose.

He/She says in the description:

"The top photo is what he looked like when I first got him. The bottom photo is what he looks like now after being spawned."

That statement implies that there was a difference, from before to after.

I am new here, but I don't see how such a drastic color change is possible.
I think this other fish the seller pictured is the correct one--------> http/www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auc...aswt&1110660122

I think he ordered more than one red plakat from Dong, with is why the fish in two of his auctions looks similar. I never meant to accuse the seller, having not contacted him first.
