I got this betta fish named Guppy at the start of my college semester to keep in my dorm. When I bought him from PetSmart, he was tiny and grey, showing no color. (Before pictures at the end) Now after a few weeks of spoiled life, he’s turning rainbow striped. I’ve looked all over the internet and can’t find his pattern anywhere.

thats super unique!
I bet it has a wonderful glow up
Oh my god, it looks like you’ve drawn over him with a highlight no way that’s real, guppy is gorgeous 😍😍
I’ve never seen another fish like him
That’s super cool! I’ve seen a rainbow betta once, but his patterns were still different, and not as cool!
My boy has kinda similar colours

Light body, reddish fins and dark spots. Nowhere near as vibrant as guppy tho
very cool but you should make a planted tank with tannins and without artificial decor to give your fish a happier life
Glad you hear you’re updating his home to meet his needs. A quick point, why’s the water level so low? It’s a small 2.5 gallon space and with the decor, substrate and low water level he’s maybe only got 1 gallon?
If there’s a lid please fill it up.
Basic betta care advice below, he’s a lovely fish so let’s commit to ensuring he has a decent life:

This fish is super pretty!
Not rare, no. Typically pale at the store and for a bit at home till they acclimate. Toss out all that painted substrate and get some sand or something, all of that leaches out into the water over time… And it just doesn’t look good honestly anyway unfortunately.
