| I have had a fishy with that colouring, his name was Apollo, does this colour have a special name? You keep saying 'Mustard Gas'. What is this?
Are their colour names for fighters?  |

| I am not sure what his coloring is called but he reminded me of a mustard gas for some reason, (hence the name Dijon(LOL) his body is very dark with some hints of green and his fins are a pale orange,But My Mom's Betta "Frivolous" was soooo pretty, a dark maroonish red with pinkish purple throughout,here's a pic of hers  |
