He's a pastel opaque, as far as I can tell. The opaque gene is actually dominant, so I wouldn't call it a rare colour, although you don't see it as often in pet store fish as the reds and blues. (I'm assuming he's a pet store find because he's a veil tail, correct me if I'm wrong.) Opaque bettas are very rare when they're solid white.

I used to have a cute little female with the same colour. smile

actually he was a wal*mart fish,I usually don't buy fish from there cause they are usually diseased but I just fell in love with him instantly and had to have him a few days later we went back and he was there and I bought him! he is very happy now smile

the almost clear color of your fish is because it is a girl, female Bettas have a lighter color then the well known colorful males do ,that is how you can tell the difference between male and female

no,he is a male he enjoys building bubble nests and the females don't do that and he has the long breeding fins.(he also enjoys flaring at me lol)I think it might be the lighting or the flash on the side of his tank....

I always feel so bad for the Bettas at my Wal*Mart. They keep them in that horrible, over medicated blue water. gonk I would never buy a fish from them although, with a Betta, at least you usually keep them alone so you don't run the risk of contaminating an entire community tank if he's sick. smile

If I saw one like Monty I might change my mind. He's so pretty. <3 He looks just like a male version of my little Lady Valentine.

thanks smile i feel sorry for all wal*mart fish,I usually took the little hang on the side tanks (that they sometimes keep the male bettas in)and separated them so that they aren't flaring and stressing each other out(when they are both in the middle of the tank with their little tanks),and I did and this chick watched me(who works there) and then she got off her stool and moved them back! I was so mad I re did it after waiting for like 15 mins "looking" at the cat toys....I usually don't buy wal*mart fish but as I said it was literally love at first sight lolol
