It's nice to meet you, Mother
You're a beautiful girl. I love the green on your body and the little spots on your top fin!

Congratulations Shelly

Oh she's beautiful! I love the little spots on her fin.

Her color looks like my girl Kita's when I first got her, and now she has bright teal and red, so I think Mother will brighten up nicely once she settles in. Congrats on the new addition!

She is a beauty and I'd not be surprised to see her color up to a blue-ish color.

The last photos of her were posted August 13th. That much change in 2 weeks? Shelly, are you fibbing us? Did you get a new betta and try to tell us it was the same one? lol

Yep she's the same little girl...what a difference huh!!!
CBC had guessed she might be blueish in color and they were right on!!
I can not believe how much she has changed either If I didn't see her change gradually I wouldn't believe it either.(LOL)
Bye the way I got her at my lfs for 2.99

It's something how much the females color up when they go from a cup to a nice tank and get good care.

Mother is lovely!!! such a nice girl.

Its shocking how much ALL bettas color up in good water and good care.

I wonder if, if we were to take in a set of "before and after" photos, and explain to the stores how much better bettas look in bigger quarters with clean water, whether some of them would try out the bigger quarters/clean water theory. Point out that prettier, more colorful fish sell for more money.
