Gabriel's Colour Changes

[Synirr]

Ok ok, so I know Gabriel is a marble and I should be expecting him to change, but.... geez. I thought he was redloss and would never develop any colours but the white/skin tone and blue iridescence he started with:

Then as he got older, spots of orange became apparent on his head, then his fins:

And now... well, it's a crappy pic, but just look at him!

It looks red, but I thought he was redloss... it's hard to tell for sure. Boy, it's going to be REALLY interesting to see how the babies turn out now! Koi marble.... <Cartman voice> sweeeet </Cartman voice>

 

[BrookeLea]

Wow! Look at all those colors on him! Kinda looks like you created a Frankenstein betta... "I'll give him this head...and this tail and, OH! This anal fin..."

 

[Elise]

Hahaha! @ the cartman voice.

Dang, that's an interesting change for that boy! But what a gorgeous fish he is becoming!

 

[FishEnthusiast]

That is quite a change. I am looking forward to seeing what the babies look like.

 

[wuvmybetta]

the red on his fins He looks just like his marble uncles and cousins , yes he does
This is what's making my marble spawn so difficult- just waiting for that red to come in. Ya just never know when a pure white fish is going to pop up with them. Goodness knows I have many teetering on the edge of being beautiful.

He's gorgeous

 

[Annastasia]

Wow, he changed so much! He came out gorgeous though. I can't wait to see what the babies turn out like too. If you did get Koi Marbles...wooo-eee!

 

[Ethos]

Cool!
My red VT has changed a bit, but thats only because he's getting older...

 

[jollysue]

Gabriel is really making a statement, "Look at all this Hot Stuff!"

What is Lips going to do? Is he going to change?

 

[Synirr]

Lips has already changed a little, some of the dark splotches on his body have gotten bigger (like the ones on his caudal peduncle have all run together.) I don't think he's going to get any other colours though, since I don't see any hint of it whatsoever, his patterns will probably just change . He has odd-eyes for the moment, one light an one dark. The other redloss males you're getting both have hints of yellow though, so no telling what they may do in the future.

Here are a couple of pics of his transformations:

What is the Cartman voice? Is it from a show, if so what was it called?

...Are you joking?
It's South Park

 

[Durbkat]

Oh I don't watch southpark since I don't have cable and the times when I've seen it, its so stupid and dumb.

I guess whatever floats your boat. . . Cause I LMAO when I watch it. . .


I wonder if Pip (South Park inspired name ) will change colors too. . .

I have noticed that he's got more marbled spots!!

Here's an old pic to jog your memories!!

 

[Elise]

SouthPark is a "special" kind of humor. Haha, it may be dumb, but a lot of it pokes fun at world happenings.

You know, I noticed that Irv is changing just a tad. I thought it was my eyes that the end of his tail was getting darker but then I noticed it again yesterday and today. I took some pics so I can look upclose. I hope he stays the same though cuz I think he's beautiful!

Man, Gabe has undergone quite the change! THat's purdy dang cool, eh?

 

[Synirr]

I was moving fish around today, so Gabriel finally got a real tank instead of tupperware

Isn't he a little charmer??

I house my bettas in Sprite, if you hadn't noticed

And Sage got a tank too:

He has that weird thing where the nicks in his fins won't ever heal...
