I had a betta named Walter, he had the growing white spot of scales too,
he turned from light pink to platinum white, and he just behaved normal.

Wow she is beautiful! Your betta is definitely very different for a female, but that's what makes her special! I love her, nice video!

Looks like ick
BetterBetta
BetterBetta - 8 years ago
+Jayden Cool I don't think it was ick, ick is more of a salty appearance. Like little tiny white grains of salt all over the body. But it certainly could have been something similar to ick.

hello I am a Betta breeder and her condition is likely due to inbreeding where Bettas that are to closely related are bred. it should not affect her but it will cause some scale loss. I hope this helped!

Have seen this a few times and no one really has any good answers, though I have been told Diet is one cause. I feed my Betta's the exact same food you do Omega Mini Color but only 3 times a week. The rest of the time I offer live healthy foods, Brine shrimp and White Worms work wonders for all tropical fish but really bring out colors in Betta's. White worms are silly easy to breed and 1 culture would feed yours with no problems for months, a second culture started before the 1st sours insures you always have a supply. Blood worms <Mosquito Larvae> are the Betta's natural and favorite food, easy to collect in the spring thru fall just make sure they eat all of them or you may end up growing skeeters ;)

Live foods are cheaper but do require a bit more labor but you'll notice the difference in their Energy and Color.

Yep! That's how I know for sure she's a girl. I spend waaaay too many hours researching how to sex your betta to ensure she was actually a girl haha

Happy Adoptiversary Journey :) I think that color change looks pretty cool. have you ever considered trying to breed her with one of your males?

+MyView 10.75.69 I don't have the tank space to breed them and rumour is that breeding store-bought bettas can yield bad results- if I had the space and a little more confidence on it, I may try one day with 'quality' bettas :)

+Marisa's Betta Fish I have an Instagram for my bettas/other pets, which is officialbetterbetta. I don't specifically decorate my bettas tanks for their birthdays, but I do often give them Christmas presents :p I love decorating their tanks for other holidays though! This year they got their best adoptiversary present ever, which was their new tanks. They got just got them really far in advance :) My favourite betta of yours is probably Scarlet.. As for my own, I can't choose a favourite as they are all so different :)

It's probably stress from water current. I had a crown tail in a half gallon tank for temporary until I moved him into my 29 gallon community, I acclimated him by putting his bowl in there and adding aquarium water every 5 minutes, I done this for 2 hours so he could see the other fish to prevent any aggression. I noticed after about a day his tail had a discolored streak going up but I thought maybe I just hadn't noticed is before. Then the next day it had moved up, same area as your betta but on both sides. Looked like scales missing or losing color. I immediately took him out and began treating him but it was too late. I don't know if it was too much room overwhelming him or if it could have been the bubblers I have in there causing too much current. I'm guessing it was the bubbles or a little of both.
BetterBetta
BetterBetta - 8 years ago
+angelfacemoma It's so hard to tell with her because it started before I bought her and she lived in only a one gallon for about 7 months before switching to a proper-sized tank with current. It's so strange, some people say color change but that's new to me too because none of my bettas (past or present) have changed color :) But, I'll definitely keep this in mind and turn her air stone down a bit (oddly enough, she loves the thing).

Congrats. I have something sad to say. I was looking up betta videos. And I found people FIGHTING THEM! This is crazy. I reported this page. I can't believe people do this. If you are interested, look up Daily Indian Logs to report him please

Betta Splendens are natural fighters and the far east areas where they come from were known for their fighting fish...kinda like chicken fighting and dog fighting. It disgusts me that people would do this but they have for centuries. The Betta is known as the Siamese Fighting Fish for this reason, as well as it's aggressiveness towards other males and even females in close quarters.
BetterBetta
BetterBetta - 8 years ago
+LRB Aquatics It's absolutely awful, can't believe someone would do that - even someone who doesn't love fish as much as we do. And to film it and post it to YouTube after? What -.-

+BetterBetta yes , we do 100% every 5 days or so , an the plants seem to provide oxygen and eat good amounts of ammonia and nitrites !
BetterBetta
BetterBetta - 8 years ago
+JacobChunioo I'm glad I inspired someone to get a betta! They are great pets. Live plants can certainly be gorgeous, and in a smaller sized tank like that it would help filter the water too. Ammonia does sure build up fast, the detoxification will definitely help but frequent water changes is the most important thing :) Have fun!

+BetterBetta my grandpa GT a betta after watching your videos . he got a red male , he has a 1 gallon bowl with live plants . the ammonia builds up. pretty quick , we use ammonia detoxifier
