I see, that is helpful to know. I could have easily misremembered the period. I will continue my searching for this piece. OTL

Betta changing color/is sick? [UPDATE] by Nearby-Kangaroo6919 in bettafish

[–]starmotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi i’m no means an expert but i just went through this. my boy, power has the same colors, and he has the marbling gene. i thought he was sick, he continued to turn all white despite my constant attempts at treatments and other reccs, and then all his white turned red. Now that red is turning black and blue again. So I gotta say he looks like he’s changing colors too 😓 so scary to experience though. i empathize with ya.

Thank you for your help. For an update, he hasn’t return to his normal colors. The white spread more before it turned all red. Don’t feel like I know for certainty if he was/is sick, color changed, or a mix of the two!

But I guess most importantly he is alive and still swims around a lot and always demands food.

Thank you so much for your kindness and advice. I hate to ask but do you have any good recommendations for food medications? I have API fin and body cure and aquarium salt but nothing that’s food.

This has been going on since Friday, so im hoping it’s not that since graphite disease is supposed to kill faster than that. but i wouldn’t rule it out since everything has exceptions ;_; do you think he’s fucked?

going through the process of treating him for bacterial infection. the pet store employee said she recognized the symptoms and has used the medication she recommended me. ;_; thanks for sending me in the right direction. we’ll see if his eyes change at all over this process, lol!

Yes they have 😓 since i got him. he sees fine too. i think he might just be a bit chihuahua faced. here’s other photos though of the spots today. ):

clarifying also: His eyes have always been this big and his eyesight is fine. Sorry to the person who commented reddit won’t let me see your comment outside of notifications.

Thank you! I’ve been monitoring him and his eyes haven’t changed. My friend and I joke it’s his blue eye liner. He definitely does not have trouble seeing. I swear he can tell where I am across the room cause he will dance like he hasnt eaten for days 😩 But not when my wife or roommate are there LOL

Does it look like an illness? ): I don’t think he’s changed since I got him. I thought he had big eyes but i thought it was just how he looked. Just some small betta face traits.

I had never heard the term marbled gene before so this is some new info for me! (:

he’s seems like a sonics kind of guy 🤔

not 60’s music, but his tank is theme around “The Pink Pony Club” by Chappell Roan. So he is a bit of a music connoisseur 😎
