    Default Jimi Hendrix.

    Just some pics of my 5g tank and the blue/white marble combtail I got from Athena a few months back... it's been really fun to watch him grow from a tiny fry and get his adult colors.

    ...And in keeping with my habit of naming fish after rock stars I named him Jimi Hendrix... it was more ironic when he was white though.

    Excuse the blurriness... my camera is terrible!

    When I first got him...

    What deluxe digs for your betta! I wish I could get MY betta tanks this green! Jimi looks just like MY bettas who I've raised from youngsters (bred by another BCA member). I have two males but they've both developed completely different colours - one ended up going VERY red (a surprise!) and the other now has a lovely burgundy "painted" effect on his fins. The female still looks very much like your photos of Jimi.
    Would love to see a pic of what yours looks like now!

    that's funny, i've named my fish after guitar players too. jimi (hendrix) is a green mandarin, leo (fender) is a clown, gretchen (aka gretch guitar brand) is another clown, and a domino damsel is buddy (guy - because buddy guy had a polka dot guitar) ...somehow combined 2 hobbies

    Did you get your bettas from athena? If so, they may be related.
