Color Variants - Pastel Colors
Pastel colors
include, Pastel White, Pastel Blue, and Pastel Green. All of these lack any
dark underlying
coloration. Often Opaque Betta Splendens (described below) maybe accepted
as Pastels when they are
young Opaque Bettas as they mature. This is because Opaque pigment increases
in as the fish ages. However, on true Pastel fish the Opaque pigment is limited.
White
Pastel
A pale White color is desired in shows. It is easier to see through the fins
of Pastel Bettas than it is to see
through the fins of Opaque Bettas. This is due to the lower quantities of
Opaque pigment covering.
Blue
Pastel
A light sky blue is perfect in Pastel Blue Betta Splendens. Blue Pastels should
not show any distinct Blues
tones no matter how slight.
Green
Pastel
As the description indicates Patel Green is ideal. Just as with White and
Blue Pastels, Green pastels must lack the any dark under coloring of the normal
shades. Additionally, Green Pastels must not show any Opaque
covering or pigment.
