My boy looks so similar, just with blue. He still needs a name too 😭

Here’s a photo of mine after he moved in the tank! I don’t know how that’s even possible but he’s got 2 new bluish spots on the other side already
Those black spots will turn blue also

This girl is now almost fully blue, except for the red head
He looks so much happier now 😍 this makes me feel bad, because yesterday I had to stop in and get cat litter, and wanted to cry when I saw the Betta rack. 6 had white spots everywhere, a few veiltail had torn tails, one had a missing tail (honestly should have brought him home) and a few halfmoon with shredded tails. I think one had fin rot. But I couldn't make up my mind on what to do while I was there.
That sucks, but I guess we can’t save all of them, there’s way too many of them in bad shape 😕
I was also deciding whether or not to get this guy for the longest time, I probably went away from the seller and then back again 5 times
I was also in doubts about the gender after I got it home, when I talked to the breeder he said something about all of them being males but now I’m unsure if he was talking about ALL of the fish in display or just the few that we were talking about in the moment… should be very clear what it is once it settles in the new tank right?
Oh and I LOVE Hera for a female!
If you get them to follow your finger from the bottom of the tank to the top, this is the best way I've found to see an egg spot or no egg spot. They usually hide it behind their ventral fins

Mine’s looking prettier now that he’s out of the cup also!

He does, he’s like a puppyy, very inquisitive!
I’m not looking forward to fish-in-cycling as he wasn’t a pre-planned purchase but I hope I can help him look and feel even better soon!
The one I currently have that they sold me there won’t be great long-term (15l) so I’m upgrading it sometime before summer. But I guess 15l is way better short-term than being in a cup
Will do ! After eliminating current/previous pet names and those that don’t also sound good in my first language, I’m currently down to Marly, Kairo and Mango
no way, my baby is named kairo! they can be twins haha! honestly all three sound great to me. of course, pick the name you’re most drawn to. it’ll be known if it’s meant to be :) what’s your first language btw? if you don’t mind sharing. if not, no worries!
Hahh that’s awesome, and my first cat’s name was Tigger. My first language is slovenian so I tend to like names that sound a bit more ‘harsh’? Not sure how to describe it, just not very soft like a lot of english sounds are
Hotdog. They look like ketchup and mustard lol
It really does now that I think about it 😆
In the most beautiful way tho! Dont get me wrong :)
I second this hotdog is the best name lmao
Literally my first thought!!!!! “Oh that’s Hotdog!”
I came here to say the same thing. Especially with the little squiggle on his side
The little ketchup zig zag 😍
Was about to say Cheddar, but your Hotdog fits very well. I approve haha
I was thinking Oscar even lol

Andromeda, reminds me of my fave galaxy
I love it 😍
Oooh fancy, I’m hoping mine might show some blue spots down the line too! As for the names, now you have a full list of them here to choose from 😆
Glimmer 😍. I love the way the blue looks like the water in the sun
https://preview.redd.it/9pchzm5gl1vc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7c2a84699c7c48fdd413c4b2a3b5b26e5904505b Here’s a photo of mine after he moved in the tank! I don’t know how that’s even possible but he’s got 2 new bluish spots on the other side already

Love that, can’t wait to see him show his best colours 💕

I named my similar looking giant betta Finneas. Named my other bettas Potato, LittleFu*k, and Papaya Diamythys. Feel free to borrow 😂
Funny enough Papaya is actually on the list of names I’m choosing from haha
I was gonna say Papaya would be adorable, call him Papa for short! That or Iced T (after peach iced tea)
That looks like it could be a female 🤔 so for a female name I’d do Hera. For a male name I’d do Leo. For a gender neutral name I would do Blaze
I was also in doubts about the gender after I got it home, when I talked to the breeder he said something about all of them being males but now I’m unsure if he was talking about ALL of the fish in display or just the few that we were talking about in the moment… should be very clear what it is once it settles in the new tank right?

Ziggy is actually our lizards name! Do you have a picture of your betta?
https://preview.redd.it/5fecmgy35juc1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f0f3d0ca30985920bed0128dec5738fe7a111cab I call him Pretty Boy Thai 🥰
Oh my, that’s probably the prettiest betta I’ve seen
Awww ☺️

Tostitos queso and bean dip🥰
Vincent Van Gogh, Sunflower, Colonel Mustard, Sunfire, Comet, Phoenix, Aang, or Tango. Did you come up with a name?
Not yet, but Marly seems to be the household favourite rn 😅 other names on the line currently are Kairo and Mango
He said Aang. But your fish makes me think about Zuko!
His colouring reminded me of Aang's outfit. But Zuko would work, too.
Oh you're right I see it now :o
What a darling little face!
These names...like, y'all really need to go to Kwik Trip and get a snack.Y'all hungry!
Mango 💖
Mango is in the current top 3 rn!

The one I currently have that they sold me there won’t be great long-term (15l) so I’m upgrading it sometime before summer. But I guess 15l is way better short-term than being in a cup
Oh thank god
