Matt_95 Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 I think these would have been photoshopped, there isn't a real purple betta out there yet. Do you have a link for this photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournebetta Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) Didn't we just have this discussion elsewhere? ...i'm going senile, I can't remember where - but you realize purple isn't... actually... possible...... ? Either get a copper and wait for it to get old - they kind of go purple, or get a salamander, they're kind of purple lavender, kind of. I got an email today asking for a grass green betta. Imeanyeahsure, I tried explaining that it wasn't. actually. possible. and turquoise is the closest - but I was corrected and told they would go elsewhere. p.s. There's a link somewhere that has a write up on the (im)possibilities of purple betta - and that image is described as an artist's impression of what a purple betta would look like. -killjoyNess Edited March 25, 2012 by melbournebetta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 This photo has popped up before in the past. It is definitely photoshopped. It is the holy grail of colours. Despite many people trying, that shade of purple has thus far been unattainable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadoh Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 The photo has been taken from this article over at Betty Splendens: http://bettysplendens.com/articles/page.imp?articleid=757 I suggest you read it, it explains what we have been saying above.

paul Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) Hey Zac... beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We aren't supposed to critique aquabid fish, so I won't start on that one. Anyway, back to purple.... The closest you'll get is "lavender" or the royal blues that look puple depending on the ambient light. Juvenile royal blues in particular look VERY purple. Photoshopping of images is commonplace these days, and fish aren't excluded from the practice. This issue had been discussed similarly a little while ago, alongside a few "I wish" fish....discussed here Edit... it took me only a couple seconds to adjust the colours in photoshop on that purple fish.... much more realistic: Edited March 25, 2012 by paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
