Go to town, LauraFrog! The more information about tails and colours we can cram in here, the better. When I was making the topic, my aim was to have the information all in one place so if someone has doubt, they know where to look.

[ThePiggy]

I just found this gorgeous example of a yellow:

Ohh, ohhh! Would this be considered a mustard gas? He's beautiful too.

He is a lavender mustard gas, at least thats what most call that variation

 

[newfishy]

ok, heres the mg male, he is an OHM.

here is a mg hm female...I loved this girl

here is a very bubble gum pastel pink betta, he is a hm.

and I dont know if you need any more, but here is a deep green feather tail, and one of his juvi rt possible ft sons, the juvie males fins have grown out a ton since this pick.

ummmmm... you should NEVER keep a male and female together. there will be fighting and shredded fins (or worse). Unless you are talking about a breeding situation, but that never goes 'without fighting' either.

>_<

these threads are brilliant I never realised there were so many different ones, i've only ever noticed the one I bought which is a VT and I only just learnt that from reading this! He's called Mango and is blue/turquoise. He's gorgeous!

Thank you for this thread! Now I have to find one to answer my shrimp question..

I have a Question about the pattern of a male I just bought. He has white fins,black face,and peduncle. Also has gray verticle stripes along the body. The body itself is white.

White body and fins with a black face and tail base? Odd colouration. Could be a dragon (if the scales on the body are unusually thick) or could be simply be a white or platinum betta who happens to have a black face.

The stripes are a little worrying. Most bettas do not have patterns, as such. Are they regular? Are you sure it is a male? Could be stress or breeding stripes. Make a thread in the Betta section and and try to get a photo.

A lot of people confuse VT females and HM females. A great way to tell which is which is to count the rays. VTs usually have 2 rays while HMs have 4 or more.

My OHM (avatar) has 6-8 rays. He moves to fast to count.
