Betta Fish: The Magical Transformation

This is Akira. I got him at my LFS last October. He’d been in a Mason jar since August. Anyways, after I got him, his color came back after settling into his new home. And then around the new year he suddenly changed colors. Not just a little. Water perimeters are spot on. He’s in a heavily plants black water tank, he’s active and has a very good appetite. So after some research I believe he has what’s called the “Jumping Marble” gene which makes them change colors. Apparently they can change several times. It’s actually pretty interesting. I miss his beautiful original colors but he’s still mysteriously beautiful with his new look.
