Chuckie Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 These are one of my favourite species. Is it just his iridesence, or is that velvet? That is a djam fine camera you have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mez Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) It's his fins. Not velvet. The camera is a £35 digital from Aldi. Cheapest you can buy :) Edited February 17, 2009 by Mez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Unbelievable! Well done on the camera. Wonder if we have them at Aldi here ..... I presumed it wasn't velvet, but it is such dense irid that it looks like a powdery coating, not like any irid I have seen before. Keep the photos coming, they're great :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Nice fish.... But they are very prone to velvet....small gold coloured powder on body = velvet How's he going?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mez Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 LOL. He's going velvet-less.. Its just the camera guys. If you look at some photos of the betta rubra, it also shows it up like this. No velvet here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiguy Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I find ID of these fish really hard to get my head around.My male has no descrete dot but his entire side has a green sheen as per the photo on photobucket.(Under killiguy) I keep scutinsing mine for velvet as an number of my Nothos seem to have it at times and not suffer any effects.I almost treated my coccina then they spawned and I thought it cant be such a problem.To me mine look like they do but maybe thats just the way they look I still cant get photos on ,it only worked once PLEASE HELP computer buffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiguy Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Sorry for mucking the thread up.Is my fish the same as MEZ's??Just older,different mood ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I'd say they are similar....mine are the same...white in fins and green on body Both fish look young to me.....Adult males have a spade shape to their tails Colour difference is just different lighting angle.....and reflection off the velvet....hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
