I saw another thread here that mentioned the marbled gene in bettas and I'd love to know more about it. But instead of hijacking that thread.. thought I'd start up a new one.
So basically, what's the deal with the marbled jumping colored gene?? A fish with those characteristics would be absolutely fascinating to me. Do they only change colors 1-2 times (maybe as they mature?) or is it a constantly morphing and changing throughout their life kind of thing? I'd love to hear about experiences with these guys.
I thought it'd be neat to maybe also use this thread to post pictures if you have a marble betta throughout their color changing history (before and after pics, so to speak) so we can all admire them roud:
I'll be starting up a little Marineland Eclipse 3 shortly (tank journal to be started soon) and wanted a betta; my original plan was to rescue one from one of the chain pet stores but I am quickly falling in love with the marble idea.. hmmm.
