Terribletegs Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Well, we just thought his marble pattern was so cute and well defined. And I like seeing pink in a fish. I couldn't help scooping him up for $12. We couldn't get him to flare for a photo but we have been using him to 'fire up' Louis in the breeding tank. And he sure flares then! So feisty.

Callatya Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Oh I like that! What striking markings! What does he look like all stretched out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 He's cute, and I love the colour combo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terribletegs Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 He does look pretty impressive all stretched out, even though he has some ray curling etc. His other side has a bolder 'blue and pink stripes' section near his pectorals. From the top, he looks like someone has just dribbled paint on him! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 He is really really unique. I would be happy breeding for these colours and patterns over form! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killimike Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 A very visually appealing fish :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbygodz Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) Mustard, pink, purple, blue, black and red also........His varied colouring and applique are deserving an appropriate title, like; Mr rainbow-picasso or Sir crowntail-colourbomb. Nice fishy. - Brad. :drool: Edited June 21, 2009 by Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Has his pattern stayed stable Tegan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terribletegs Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Of course... let me just get him out to show you... oh wait, where is he? Ninjas came in the night and replaced him with another fish!!!!?? Haha but I jest. He has changed a bit; his head black has pushed back towards his dorsal further. I would love to breed him for his cool markings, but he has gimpy ventrals (thin and usually immobile). I need to do more research first to find out if his gimpy ventrals are a genetic thing or a nurture thing... Maybe gimpy ventrals are one stop short of the 'missing ventrals' phenomenon?

Terribletegs Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Poor old Louis' still looks pretty impressive even without a dorsal. This is the best pic I could get to show you his pattern now. But look at all the extra webbing between his rays! He is my little OHM CT :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin131976 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Wow he has changed a fair bit, is quite interesting to see before and after photos of marbles, thanks :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Wow, thats brilliant colouring. Sorry to read about madame de pompadour. mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terribletegs Posted June 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Thanks Mitch. Picasso cracks me and my bigger half up every 'exercise' time. He goes crazy when he sees another betta and puts on a crazy, super agro display.... But show him a mirror and he bolts, terrified, and hides in a corner until the 'big scary betta' goes away... LOL!

Phil Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I found a gorgeous CT at work that looks exactly like him the other day. I put it aside on top of a tank and forgot about him and he was gone when i came back in on monday!! Not happy!! beautiful fish :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninoid12 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 phil that sux. Im shocking, if the fighters are in individual containers i carry them around with me lmfao sometimes its difficult to juggle more than two or three lol. He is such a cool fish. Do you plan to find him a sexy girl? He would make stunning babies :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 actually a lot of my combtail juvies are marble. Tegan, do you want me to bring a couple of marble females to the next SBG and you can pick from them? If you want an actual CT female then I won't be offended :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninoid12 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Can always use a comb marble for one spawn and keep looking for a nice crown hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 they're nice combs too, good webbing reduction and nice caudl spread - and they're not even jarred yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
