I was expecting marble fishes to change colors but still retain its marbling but this one went further and transformed into a solid blue fish.
Marble betta change.
One other reason the purdy betta fish may change colors is when they go through a sort of betta fish puberty.
So crossbreeding a marble and a solid colored betta fish will usually result in a spawn of mostly solid colored fish with a few marble patterned bettas thrown into the mix.
When the jumping gene moves on the blue gene returns to its normal function and the blue pigment returns.
Today i will talk about the marble betta the amazing color changing fish.

In fact all the marbling effect disappeared.
Let s go back to the example of the royal blue betta.
The marble betta is likely a partial dominant although some believe that the trait is a partial recessive or a co dominant.
The blue gene was overridden by the transposons creating a loss of pigment.
Fish with the gene may randomly change their entire color patterns.
It changed from a blue white marble halfmoon betta into a halfmoon betta that is nearly solid blue.
Some betta fish have what is known a marble coloration to them.
However if the loss of color is accompanied by symptoms such as lethargy a lack of appetite or bloating you should likely take immediate action.
The only time a betta fish would lose its coloration naturally is due to a marble gene.
