identifying the colour and tail of a betta

[kaidos]

Hi everyone,

I'm completely new to betta keeping and I recently fell for this stunning 'yellow half moon' betta I saw in the store.

Now that he's settled into his new tank, I've noticed his color has changed quite a bit - he's more of a pale pink with these gorgeous metallic/neon blue scales all over. His tail is still yellow, but it fades into a lovely shade of purple towards the end, with those same metallic blue streaks running through it.

I'm curious to know if there's a specific name for this color pattern, or if he's just a mix of different types. I've been doing some research and I'm thinking he might be a rosetail or feathertail - what do you guys think?

I'd really appreciate any input or advice you can offer.

He's not fully flared in the photos, making it tough to pinpoint his tail type. Would you be able to set a mirror next to his tank and take a picture of him fully flared up? I'd love to see him in all his glory, as I'm still trying to determine if he's a rosetail or feathertail.

Based on my observations, I'd say he's a mixed type betta, but I'd love to see more of him flared up to be certain.

The tail's got some ruffles at the end, so I'm leaning towards rosetail.
