Color Variants
The color variants are
made up from a combination of one of 7 recognized color patterns; solid colors,
bi-colored, Cambodian, butterfly, Cambodian butterfly marble and multicolored,
and any mix of 4 color
pigments; red, black, blue, and yellow. As you read through this page it will
not take long to understand how the 26,000 Betta Splendens varieties could evolve
and why breeding is so popular.
It should be noted that International Betta Congress (IBC) Show rules only refer
to "fins" rather than "fins and tail" as after all the tail is the caudal fin.
