Yanagi Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Welcome! Like Force Fed said, someone/someone is probably your best bet if you're after something specific to match your new boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rionthai Posted June 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Hi guys this is a video of him Any idea what name to give for his colour? all i know the crude way of describing him as a blue lacey half-moon betta? here is a video of him http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WKjf9CpSn4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishish Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) Ok... so here I go test my genetics skills.... lol I think he looks like a turquoise with red wash. He changes a little with the light, his lower fins look a bit royal blue but I'm going to opt for turquoise. The black bits on his fins I think would classify him as a butterfly but a melano carrier and thus rather than edges of fins being clear they're black. I think he's also unmasked as evident in that black patch on his head. How did I do? lol Obviously you'll probably want to wait for someone else to give you a definite answer :) Edited June 9, 2010 by fishish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delyall Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 He's beautiful! Did you buy him in Melbourne? You have to tell me where, always good to know where good bettas are I cant help with the colour, I only really know basics, and he looks complicated :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rionthai Posted June 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Hey I bought him at coburg aquarium! I could sell you his offspring if you like? In a few months time, LOL! he was in one of those tropical tanks with other fishes not on display in jars in the Betta fish corner cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) Welcome to the forum. He's a nice looking fish. Multicoloured, butterfly pattern but technically a butterfly needs to be a bicoloured fish only. Mostly turquoise (looks metallic in the vid) with red wash. If you want a female for him, seeing as he is a multicolour I don't think it will really meed to be a "matching female". Check out Neffy's new post in Classifieds - lavender females... something about the 3rd and 5th fish I like. She's also in Melbourne. Enjoy Edited June 9, 2010 by paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulp Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Coburg aquarium is great I gotta go there again Delyall, you must check it out! I still cant believe you got a fish like that from there though rionthai, hes so beautiful. I have never seen female fighters for sale there though, but I am sure you can ask if they can order one in? Goodluck with him and finding him a girlfriend :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rionthai Posted June 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Thank you! They do sell females, but they are just normal ones, I am visiting this place during the weekends Anyone been to Fish and Feathers? 243-245 Colchester Rd, Kilsyth VIC 3137, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delyall Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Ive been to Fish and Feathers.. not so good if your looking for birds, but if I remember correctly they had a nice fish setup.. only barely any in there when I went I know they could order in a HM for you, I asked when I was there Another good place where I got some of my HM bettas is Fantastic Pets in Narre Warren .. though they havent had HMs in for a while.. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
