Pics of my DT Plakat

[xXMrBonesXx]

He seems to be getting darker and darker as the days go on, does water temp have an effect on this type of stuff or is it genes cause due to it being hot my temp in some of the tanks in here is up around and sometimes over 86F, noticing no ill effects what so ever but I'm going to be keeping an eye on them

here's a pic of him when i 1st bought him

as you can see he has a ton more black to him now although he still has that funky very light purple aroud his fins

read my thread and see what Kiarra said, she said mine was a marble and they tend to change patterns a lot, so that's what yours is

Looks like a cellophane marble to me. Beautiul DT.

My marbles tend to darken up the longer they chill out as well. Example, I bought a lovely grey delta at a LFS, and later, after he'd settled, he turned black. So, it could be as he's calming down, more of his marbling is coming in.

How long have you had him? maybe he was stressed, betta can be light colored when stressed, then they darken up, as they get comfortable too.

i've had him for a good 3 or 4 months i think

It's just the changing patterns of a marble. They do that through their lifetimes. Some more than others.

He's really, really cute, though.

I think marbles just get better and better I remember I bought a confetti plakat once and he turned pure black within a few weeks

yeah he looks cooler now then he did but if he loses that outline on his fins i'll smack him!
