I dont know. She is only 3.5 months old right now, but apparently has held her crisp markings pretty well. Though slight change from the photo they had of her when she first arrived.
So i think there will be some change, it will be neat to see

I'm sure she's a marble stunning colour though and if she turns out to change colour it's quite often..as soon as you clock a change if it happens pic up please :wub:

I concur, gorgeous. I had one Koi Betta for almost 2 years that passed away, I never could put my finger on what happened, it was so sad...RIP Joey.
He was bright red with quite a bit of white and some greenish cellophane accents on his tail when I first got him. As he matured most all of the white turned red and the parts that were red just got darker. He kept a hint of the cellophane, which was nice.

The one I have now, "Bunny

" has followed a similar pattern, basically darkening up, but has retained more of the marble look, and a kept a

bit more of a pinkish face. He may continue to deepen as he gets older.
He is quite a sturdy little guy, I just love him!

(I don't know the correct terms for coloring/markings).

Thanks for asking. I just needed a break.
I've been using an android phone and typing, editing, and proofing take forever.

I am getting a computer, I hope, this week and can type a lot faster so I won't ignore other stuff. Laundry, dishes etc...
There has to be a balance somewhere!

Wow, that's one very special fish. It will be tough to think of a name, he's a very interesting colour. I'll let you know if I get any ideas!
