[braxenburg]

Hey i know that theres different colours of bettas (egCamboidan ect....) but what are the White Bettas called?

 

[jacblades]

[Sorrell]

I'll also add cellophane to the list, some would call them white

[fourplayfishy]

i dunno why someone would want white... myself i love my baby pink even though he keeps stressin himself out and going white

The chalky white is the Opaque. When a generation starts to get a pinkish body, it is time to cross back to a steel or whatever they got the opaque from. If they started with a steel, then you cross back to a steel to get the chalky white look.

I have no clue about the genetics but here in Mexico the "white" bettas are called "Ghost Bettas" or "Fantasy Bettas"

And everyone is right, I Look at them and they're not really white.. kinda like a khaki color

Maybe you are seeing pale white in your betta?
Opaques (aka Holy Grail), Ivory, and Crystals are beautiful and rare!

Here are some pics courtesy of bettatalk.com:

Holy Grail

Ivory

Crystal

I am hunting for these two types at a reasonable price:
Tangerine Dream (any tail except crown)

Dark/Black Plakat

naw hes pink! hes the one i thought was white in the blue water and then showed pink

 

[turbotiber]

That Holy Grail sure is pretty.... *sigh*

 

[GuppyDude]

most of the whit i see is ivory and crystal, ivory i think is accually a yellow or brown gene

 

[jacblades]

all of those names itty listed are strain names that happen to belong to faith. thats not what they are actually called.
holy grail is her opaque line.
i dont think she has the rights to the name ivory though. i think thats a general term for a dirty opaque.
im thinking those crystals are cellophanes.

 

[fourplayfishy]

well the fish in my av is the pink one hes a sped boy though

 

[lovebuzz]

Holy grail is

That's just amazing, I wish I had one.

I also like the dark plakat, if i found one I'd definitely buy it.
