Trilobite Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Black Runty had a runt brother who was also nice and black. He looked like this except with missing ventrals. But then he started to marble...much to my dissapointment Eventually he lost all colour and I gave him to my friend. After the quake her tank split so she gave him back for me to look after while she fixed her tank. He has marbled again and turned into a decent looking fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephanie Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Awesome fish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilobite Posted April 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Yeah, marble's are fun to watch but they're VERY unreliable Yeah you cant trust them its so unstable. One day your fish is looking awesome then the next day marble joins the club and either slowly enhances or ruins your fishes looks. I'm just hoping the father wasnt the marble carrier as I've used him in my next spawn... I'm not really a marble fan at the best of times but this guy is freaking awesome! He is one marble I would love to own He looks like a koi in birdseye view. :love: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice222 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Wow! That koi-betta's amazing! It doesn't jsut look like a koi, but a stunning one. It looks like a japanese water colour painting of a koi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilobite Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 I wish we had that colour in nz. I wonder if he still looks like that because of marbles instabillity. Imagine paying $$ only to have him completely marble out to cellophane :facepalm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
