but today I noticed something completely different. A marble?!?!






It shows up as green iridescent with flash on most of the time and won't hold still enough for me to take a clear pic with flash off, but I swear, something is definitely up with this little guy. It doesn't have the horizontal stripes that literally all of them do (unless there's another oddball I haven't noticed) and its colours are coming in in splotches... its eyes are lighter than the rest of the frys' as well. I hope it's going to be a marble... oooo I hope I hope I hope :D

omg i love ur betta fry :) :wub:

ahaha that lil fellow with the bettanest looks powerful :gym: :numchucks:

keep up witht he updates!! :lol:

It's possible. Marbles can show up in some of the most unexpected places.

Yeah, that's really cool. I was amazed by the different colors I got too. Genetics are fascinating...

What color are the parents? Do you have any photos of them?

Congrats on the babies!

they are soo darn cute! i cant wait for mine!

Genetics sure is fascinating! I'm planning to land myself a career in genetics research after grad school

The parents are red cambodian and copper :)

Here's the male:


The female:

Nice pair! I wonder what else you'll end up with once all the babies have colored up?

the female is sooo darn cute!
