I just got my betta yesterday, what are these red hanging fins on my betta? https://www.reddit.com/gallery/1qubm76 Posted by meow_mom77
SweetTart7231 on February 2, 2026 11:59 pm They kinda look like the long fins bettas have. Normally when I see them they are really long tho https://preview.redd.it/0ngqqns176hg1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=94a402e97ae802d3664a54d4bd26d217065a0a6d Here’s them on my betta
GarneNilbog on February 3, 2026 12:19 am they’re just his ventral/belly fins. fyi, bettas, but especially white colored bettas often change color when they get healthier and happier. i would bet the rest of him turns red or pink eventually as well.
