Those blues are really lovely!!

Yes please!

Hi Bettarazzi and thanks for the welcome Fang has a white head, blue body and fins, the last centimetre of all his fins & ventrals are red. He's not shiny/metallic/iridescent at all - he’s quite ‘matt’. The girls colours are still developing - only had them a week but their colours are coming in as very metallic/iridescent: Girl 1 - mostly black body with blue iridescent overlay, red ventrals, fins are 1/2 red/ 1/2 blue. Girl 2 - mostly black body with blue iridescent overlay, red ventrals, fins are a pinkish purple and blue. Girl 3 - mostly green iridescent body, black face, red ventrals, fins are green and red. Girl 4 - mostly black body with blue/green iridescence, red ventrals, fins are red with a touch of blue/green. This girls fins have much more red than girl 1 and depending on the angle can appear blue or green. For the first few days the girls were very pale with dark horizontal bars - presume they are stress bars? Now they have all deepened in colour but think they still have some way to go before their final colours develop.

Hi I've wanted betta for many years. Fang, a male VT, joined the family early this year. He is my first betta and I absolutely adore him. Fang lives in a 20lt. My other half decided he liked the look of plakats and surprised me last weekend by bringing home four VT girls, which are now in a 40lt. His excuse was that they look like plakats - not that I'm complaining. And even though they are only pet shop fish.... I can't stop wondering how I'd go breeding them. Think I've go the bug!
