What Colour Will I Call It?

[Better is Betta]

This is Ali he's a brute of a fish so I named him after a fighter. I took this with my phone so its not the best. He's gunmetal and pink, what do you all think?

As far as color, I've no idea (other than I've never seen one that color and he's lovely)...but he looks massive! The expression on his face is priceless

Looks like a king betta with violet color? Meh I will just say purple

 

[StagnantSun]

Very cool color. For some reason I'm picturing that color being called something like the silly names they give wall paint. Like "Lavender Luster".

Metallic? Although I no there is a lot of different metallic colours.
2 of my girls are this colour. Both were classed as metallics when I bought them

Reminds me of a lipstick that they would call something along the lines of Lushious Lips, great colour I can't decide between metalic purple or metalic pink, guess it doesn't really help that I am technically colour blind. How about a new colour name "Murple"?

 

[Better is Betta]

Love all the colour scheme names Murple?? thats a thought and Lavender Luster like the ring to that. He is huge... the people I bought it from said that he is an actual Siamese fighting fish bred for the purpose of fighting other fish.....you know like dog breeds, pitbulls, mastiffs etc. I'm too scared to breed him with a female he might tear her to bits.

Sorry for that stupid question mark face that wasn't suppose to be there.

 

[fuzzynicki]

he's gorgeous! His name really suits him!

red copper metallic..

 

[StandbySetting]

What's with all of these crazy colour creations? By definition it's purple.

 

[Xiv14]

i stand for copper red with the blonde gene on the background as an official asian betta alliance member.

 

[fuzzynicki]

I'm sure there is an official colour for him, but he looks purple and is absolutely gorgeous! Seems strange that he can be classed as a red copper when there is no visible red to him. 'Official' colours can be very confusing!

 

[Xiv14]

you see. if the blonde gene is not present in that fish will be a red copper..

 

[Better is Betta]

To make things more difficult...what colour female do I need to breed him with to obtain that colour in the fry?
