ocminpin said:Thank you! When I talk to her and she tilts her head as if she's listening I tell her she's my pretty girl
She was so light/pale when I got her I thought she was an iridescent betta.... Her fins and head slowly got peach to reddish to... Is she PURPLE?? I see with this lighting she has some blue in her tail fin...
Do they change color with age or was it probably a sign she was sad and stressed at the store?
Question also: I read females are supposed to get larger than males... Females get 3" and males 2"?? Is this body size without fins and is this true? Is my girl still a juvie or does she appear full grown? She's about 1 3/4" She was TINY when I got her... I'd never seen bettas that small.
My males I've had in the past were always a good 3" with fins...

Here's a pic of two females with a zebra danio as a size guide.

You can see him in my profile pic, not shure if I can upload pictures to threads from my phone yet.![]()
Towminator said:You can keep the Betta in your big tank with other fish, but if the Betta fish feels there is a nicer fish in ther then you will see the agression. I have my betta in 72g with danios and neons

I'm sorry it didn't work.

Lol, she is totally encouraging your mts though!
