Thought I'd show you all how different a marble betta can look after a while :) I originally bought this betta thinking it was a girl as it was advertised as such and also looked like one at 3 months old so I thought she would be a great addition to my all female sorority tank. I then noticed a bubble nest had appeared and 'Alice' had started to get longer fins and display to the girls, she was infact a he! needless to say he now has his own 5 gallon, but he's still called Alice -_-

:hyper: :hyper: OMG he is stunning. I have picked up a couple of "girls" in the past but mostly pks. I might have to steal him....
 
Its amazing what this marbel gene can do. Someone posted a link on here showing pics of a blue VT changed into a white and pink VT he looked like a whole new fish and so does yours. For the better i would say :eek:
 
its possible he had fin problems or was in a fight, then his fins grew back
No he was perfect when I received him, at 3 months I guess he just wasn't fully grown being UK bred, the photos only have a month between them as he is now 4 months old so I guess that is the ideal time to tell! and yes I think he looks better now than before too :hyper:
