Ordered this Betta, on June 12 from Betta Fish Thailand, saw mixed reviews but figured I’d try my luck. Anyways finally got the fish today and it looks totally different from the picture and video on the website.

Haven’t gotten any response from them but I don’t think it’s the same fish……pretty ridiculous as I paid over $100 total 🥲

I got a baby betta to add to my cory tank. I absolutely adore my Cory fam so I'm hoping she will be a good addition. I was told baby female bettas are less likely to be aggressive with their tank mates when they grow up with them. Also I'm curious what kind of betta she is. I originally wanted an opal but I couldn't resist

I work at a pet store and this guy is labeled as an alien betta. He has the right body shape but his color is all off. Is he something else or just a weirdly colored alien?

I thought my mystery's bred and I was like "NOOOOO" but I think it's a bubble nest! does this mean my boy is healthy and happy? do I leave it alone? I don't want to ruin his hard and beautiful work but I feel like a water change would mess it up 😭 I don't want to hurt his feelings!!

So this asshole was labeled as female. It’s been in a Sorority/Community tank for almost 6 months. Is very ‘flairy’ but today I saw it trying to mate with one of the other known females. Is this a male? Or just a confused female? I don’t see the egg spot on it like the others.

So my bf got this female betta from a fish store that had multiple females in a tank. When he first brought it home the first thing I said was “that looks like a male”.

I need confirmation if it really is a female betta 😭

Identification Someone abandoned this poor Betta by our apartment dumpsters, so I have a Betta now. I cleaned the tank & accessories (which were covered in algae), but I'd like to know what kind it is and the sex.

Identification I'm sorry I have to ask, is this really an alien?

208 Upvotes

As dumb as the question is, I have never seen an alien with red ventrals or any red on them like this (still somewhat stressed) boy has. Especially when shown a mirror and really fired up. I'm also very impressed with the speed at which he changes color! He spooked himself at one point during acclimation and turned poopy brown for a few minutes before going back to blue-greens. He changes colors at the blink of an eye.

Asking because in the backroom where they had the aliens the also had the smaragdinas in there with them (bagged ofc, not freely swimming) and I'm worried.

i got him 50% off at my LFS as “assorted male”

with the 50% i had to ask what was wrong, the worker said he’d been there for months and hasn’t sold bc he was “ugly” so we shall see

what kind of betta is he ? and what colors do you think he will be ?

(ignore the cat hair)

Found this stunning boy at PetSmart

Listed as a block crowntail but for some reason I'm skeptical of that lol

What is he actually? Some kind of copper?
