So, yah, I was unpacking fish from this week's shipment at work, and came across... wonder of wonders... a MALE DOUBLETAIL BETTA! Wow, holy cow man, I thought. He was small, at just over an inch and a bit, and a pale unattractive washed out greyish tourquise colour. But in four years we have never been shipped a doubletail betta. For $2.99 canadian, he was mine!

I put him in my 10g with my three tetras and my ram.

I come home from work today, and peer into the tank. "Where are you, pretty boy?" I ask. I suddenly spot him. But he has morphed into a beautiful electric blue/red/green boy!

*squeels with delight*

Sorry, I really needed to share that. He is so pretty now!

I'm so adjective, I verb nouns!

Sounds beautiful...

Post some pictures if you can.

I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

I'd love to, but no digital camera, or anything.

He's really just the colour of most of the blue/green/red bettas you see in the stores... but a DOUBLETAIL!

Does he have that distinctive sailfin that the DT bettas are known for? I love that... I wish they could breed it into crowntails.

Oh, he definately does have the huge dorsal! It looks like it has twice as many rays as normal!

I didn't know they couldn't breed it into crowntails... That would be gorgeous.
