A wide variety of colors are available to theaquarist such as red, blue, turquoise, orange, yellow, green, cream and eventrue white (the "Opaque" white, not to be confused with albino). The shadesof blue, turquoise and green are slightly iridescent, and can appear to changecolor with different lighting conditions or viewing angles; this is becausethese colors (unlike black or red) are not due to pigments, but createdthrough refraction within a layer of translucent guanine crystals. Breedershave also developed different color patterns such as marble and butterfly, aswell as metallic shades like copper, gold, or platinum (these were obtained bycrossing B. splendens to other Betta species). Purple and blue female. Breeders around the world continue to develop new varieties. Often, the maleof the species are sold preferentially in stores because of their beauty,compared to the females. Recently, breeders have developed in females thesame range of colors previously only bred in males. However, females neverdevelop fins as showy as males of the same type and are often moresubdued in colouration.The true albino betta has been feverishly sought after since one recordedappearance in 1927, and another in 1953. Neither of these were able toestablish a line of true albinos. In 1994, a hobbyist named Tanaka claims tohave successfully bred albino bettas.<a href="http://www.imagebam.com/image/5f5e96110987343" target="_blank"><img src="http://thumbnails24.imagebam.com/11099/5f5e96110987343.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></blockquote>
