My new Betta! (Is he a nemo?)

[Sien]

I got my final betta ! He is a galaxy koi and I was wondering if he would also be classified as a nemo betta? I am obsessed with him and his name is Aerglo, which means 'natural glow of the night sky'. He's got these awesome iridescent scales and stripes on his tail. Also wanted to show off the bubble nest he made in one night and the cute little tank mates I got him.

what a beautiful boy! those blue flashes in his tail are stunning!

From what I've read nemo is a really new term and isn't as established as things like koi or galaxy. It doesn't seem to have a really rigid definition outside of just having that blue flash. By that standard yes, I would say you can call him a nemo.

Thank you! He had just come into my LFS for delivery and I had to bring him home. Not really sure what a nemo is classified as, other than having that orange koi pattern? Thanks for the insight.

I am also obsessed with your fish. He's gorgeous! :3
I'm going to buy another betta now. And this time it's going to be a koi or those purply blue bodied yellow finned bettas. Tear gas bettas?

Thank you! Yes, the teargas bettas! They are beautiful. I have been really into the koi's recently. It is also exciting because you never know how their colors and pattern are going to change.

They are!!! Also they're mustard gas not tear gas. I feel so dumb I have seen some at pet co but I'd always get distracted by other solid colors and then I never get one. They never have interesting join like yours. I have seen mustards but they were so tiny and I'm like noo. I'm basically moto moto.. "I like'm big.. " Idk I'm weird.

I asked my dad if they were the same thing and he's like no mustard gas is deadly.
I am actually looking at bettas online. If I have them ship it to me when my parents are at work no one would know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ until they notice that I still have 5 tanks running after telling them I'd take one down.

Sien he's a neon tetra in disguised! :-D I love his tail it's like a reflector for his tank mates to know he's in there.

Hope he grows well! We know he's in a good fish keepers hand (tank) now. Also I love his name a little complicated for me to pronounce but It's awesome!
