📅 Photo Date Matters – Please Read
The photo date is shown in both the listing title and image.
This date tells you when the fish was photographed and provides an indication of how long it has been held and matured in our care.
Bettas are living animals and continue to develop over time.
- Colour and pattern may naturally evolve
- Changes are more noticeable in younger fish (3–6 months)
- Marble, koi, grizzle, and fancy bettas often change appearance
- The older the photo date, the more visible change may occur
⚠️ What Stays Consistent vs What May Change
✔️ Typically Remains Consistent
- Fish identity (same individual fish)
- Fin type and body structure
- Size category and age range
- Personality and behaviour traits
🔄 May Naturally Change Over Time
- Colour intensity
- Marble pattern distribution
- Contrast and markings
- Patch size or colour spread
Minor visual changes are considered a normal part of keeping live bettas and are not defects.

FAQ
Will I receive the exact fish shown?
Yes. You will receive the exact fish shown in the listing photos.
Why does the photo date matter?
The photo date tells you when the fish was photographed. Bettas naturally mature and may change appearance over time.
Can the fish change colour?
Yes. Bettas, especially marble and fancy types, may naturally evolve in colour and pattern.
Can I request an updated video?
Yes. We recommend this if the listing photo is older or you want to confirm current appearance.
Are colour changes considered defects?
No. Natural colour progression is normal and expected in live bettas.
