some times they change color to a kinda dullish and a new better color comes that what hapened to mine he use to be realy red and faded then he looks better than he was when i first got him. Pretty cool to watch

---

what is a betta??

---

its probably water quality. what are your nitrate, nitrite, pH levels etc?

You're taking care of him perfectly fine, don't worry. The same thing happened to my betta fish, and he died one year later, which is the lifespan of an average betta. Just keep on with your routine, and feed him more brine shrimp and freeze-dried bloodworms.

(another thing, if your water is chlorinated, it is vital to let the water sit [without the fish inside] for about 24 hours, so it becomes distilled. Still do this process even if your water is well water. Sorry if you already do it! >.<)

just go to pet store ask some who know all about fish they will

are may be is the food s you are feel him

i have a betta that is about 7 years old.i dont know how he has lived that long but his color has faded also.i wouldnt worry to much about it but also make sure he has room to get up to the top of the fish bowl to breathe because once i filled up mine to high and he turned a whiteishcolor.

you sound like your doing every thing right . sometimes that happens . good luck

The best thing you can do is give him some LIVE food. And I don't mean tubifex worms. They really enjoy eating mosquito larvae, and you will have some enjoyment watching. This is one sure why to get those colors back!

And no you can't buy the mosquitoes, you have to go out and find them!

I thought they became really vivid when a female was in sight (they really show off then) or another male

how about a little mirror or a tank separator and another fish to show off to
