Just read through your thread. So exciting! Koi bettas are my favorite. They are looking good! I may be interested in one when they are old enough. Do you mind putting me on the list?

How much longer before we can start really bugging you about buying?
Click to expand...
I would say 2 or 3 months more. When their colors come out and I'm sute they are healthy enough to go to a home!

yeah!!! Most babies have it, that's how they start off and eventually it fades and their colors come out. You see that white one in the photo? He/she was spotted too and she turned all white
 
This is such a fun thread! Those babies are so cute! Nice work.

Look how neat this guy is!

He was all black now turning white.

I'm doing some research online and I read that those turning all white will be marble bettas

I literally thought that the blue one's were colored using Photoshop ! Their gorgeous! How much are you selling them for?
 
  • Thread Starter

No photoshop at all lol I'm going yo upload a video to YouTube soon so you guys can see the colors well.

As far as selling them, no idea yet. I don't know their sex yet and I want to wait until their colora are more developed
 
This will probably get me a lot of "funny looks", but I've never been really fond of koi bettas. Tiger though is amazing. He's very unusual looking. Excited to see how his young turn out. The mother was pretty interesting too. I like that they both have the blue streaks. I bet the young will have a strong chance of inheriting that galaxy Gene since both parents have it.

No looks at all. Everyone has their preferences and that's fine. A lot of peolle find crown-tail bettas stunning for example but I can't picture myself owning one! Not a big fan at all.

And I'm hoping they do look like the parents!

It's funny you should mention crowntails. I saw a stunning solid black female a couple months back. I planned out a place to put her a tank, went to get her, and she was gone. At the time I said maybe it was meant to be. I've already got 2 males (a halfmoon and a twintail). Decided that if I get a third, it'll be if I find another black female crown, and I'll call her Morticia (big Addams Family fan; the hen of Morticia's dress). However, one of your little plakats might change my mind. Lol.

Ive been wanting a blue, black and white Koi betta for the longest! So I'm hoping I get some blue ones from the babies. Although the chances of that happening is very rare
 
They're really coloring up! I love the little cellophane marble guy. It's so fun to see how they change

ETA: Do you think you'll be selling any? Following your progress has made me want one! Lol!
