Cool and good to know on the color change possibility.Originally Posted by WrongPython
Congrats on your nice little betta, dakski! He's a very pretty boy
Yeah, Lincoln's definitely a plakat (that more traditional short-finned variety), and it looks like he's something called a marble color-wise. Marbles can go through a bit of a color change throughout their life, so don't be surprised if his various spots and color patches start shifting around. A marble male I had went and turned completely blue after a few years!
It's nice to see that Lincoln's in a heated, filtered set-up. I'm actually planning on bumping the two betta I have now into similar setups sometime soon - they're both getting older and have had fin rot issues pop up recently, so I think they need something a little more stable/controlled than the planted 2.5 gallon setups they're in now. Maybe I'll post some photos of them once they're settled in to new digs.
He's a good guy and I think, as with reptiles, many people do not know how to properly care for Betta's. They like heat and filtration, etc.
I would love to see some pics of your tanks and Betta's if you want to post.
Thank you for the info Wrongpython!
