	Coloration?
coltsfan Hobbyist Posts: 106 Kudos: 75 Votes: 6 Registered: 11-Jul-2007	It was feeding time and I noticed that on my bettas gill covers he has two vertical red stripes. I was wondering if this is normal? I sure hope so because it looks awesome, and he seems happy. If I had a way to put a picture up I would, any input would be appreciated.

Annoyingly I can't find a photo, but it shows up a fair bit in more naturally coloured females and males.
