I was strolling through the LFS with a friend and they had baby bettas that had just come in, less than an inch all in cups. They were all kinda funny lookin, but there were a couple that looked really different from any bettas I've ever seen, I got one and my friend got the other. I was going to wait it out and just see what this little guy grew up to but I'm impatient so I'm asking you guys what you think s/he might be. If it weren't for her kind of strange behavior I'd just wait and see, but she's funny....First of all, she digs pits in the gravel/sand, and lays in them, and protects them. Second, she's really really aggressive, especially for such a young betta. She's just barely at an inch long right now and definitely has a territory staked out. She had all of my guppy fry in one tiny corner of a full ten gallon tank this afternoon. She's also obsessed with getting through the glass...it's weird, it's like domestic fish ignore it, they know it's there but they don't care. Not her, she wants it GONE. Her colors also change from a light green, to an emerald, to a deep purple, to blue depending on her mood, but the stripes are always there. There's also dots on her dorsal fins (no, she's not sick, these are like legit colored dots on her fins, I promise). Anyway, any guesses are welcome...ignore the tiny tank, they were in my snail tank while I upgraded their ten to a twenty so it was the perfect time to take pictures. Also, just thought of someone mentioning stress lines...I've had her for about 3 weeks now, she eats great, and I put her alone for a while to see if the stripes would go away and they did not. They do not fade at all.
