	Fading Colors?
ILuvBettas Fingerling Posts: 36 Kudos: 24 Votes: 0 Registered: 24-Jun-2004	I bought a red female betta from an online store, but when it arrived at my house it was a whiteish pinkish color. Is it stress? Or something else?

I've ordered fish online a number of times and had the same thing happen. This is a female betta I bought online. The first pic was taken the day she arrived, the second was less than a week later. Same tank, same lighting but a major improvement in color [/font][/font] [span class="edited"][Edited by Theresa_M 2004-07-22 01:44][/span] ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

I looked at my new fish and I said, "well, maybe they just sent me a pinkish betta instead of the red one." So maybe that's what it is, and maybe she isn't sick or anything. Thank you
