Odd Color Changes In Betta

[newfishy]

this is one of the little girls from my first spawn, I had never planned on spawning her because she is a little ugly, but I liked her anyways. she has been untill the past few weeks a solid green betta, and over the course of time this white marbling has come out on her face, and one her brothers from a different spawn-same father different mother also just has different patches of white on him.

is this a type of marbling, its deffinatly not an illness or anything its just a very odd color change. there is even some white color changes at the tips of her fins, not just on her face.

CHunky girl looks like marbling to me, does she come from marble lines?

the mother was a solid white sd, father was a rescue but was a green ft, so we have no idea what else was in his lines.

looks like this girl holds the marble gene and the butterfly as well, if she is a good marble she should end up 95% white and 5% green so to speak, dont quote me on that % though its just to give you understanding what a good marble should be like, and yes what an ugly little madame you have there but compensates with a stunning full tail, i would still use her to spawn b/c some of the worlds best looking people have come from really UGLY parents so she may well produce some right show stoppers.

Heather Mills-McCartney's parents must have been really good looking then ROFPMWL

you really think her tail is full my other girls have her beat six ways from sunday. however if I find a nice marbled guy sooner or later I think I will spawn her, shes just so cute and tiny in a really ugly way.
