This is Nyla, when I first got her she wasn't in very good condition(first image). 2 and a half weeks later, she's happy and showing her true colours! She also enjoys biting my finger because that's how I feed her pellets.

  1. Always good to see a speedy recovery and rewarding display of color!

    Jus a heads up- that may be a male, the fins seem a bit long. Ā I can’t see the ventral(pelvic) fins from the photo but on females they are super tiny. Ā I and a few other people appear to have been sold male elephant ears (dumbos) as females. Ā Likely runts from their spawn being misidentified.

    You can look at the photo comparing genders here:

    Or just google male vs female betta or something similar.
