Meet my boy Clancy! :D
(excuse the poopies :unsure: )
Ivory Delta. He's not the greatest, the black ticking on the body shouldn't be there but he was a gift and he's got a very sweet disposition.
Who's that there?
He's flaring at himself ^_^
My cave!

I actually like the pineapples, have a pineapple VT myself...
but I'm no judge, that's for sure.

He is ivory?
He looks peachish to me.. Ivory is more along the lines of the yellow washed opaques. But he is a good looking guy.
Not every fish is a show fish. Not every fish is a breeder.
But that doesn't mean that the fish is not worthy of being loved.

lol Thanks!
Yeah, Ivory is what he was given to me as. His sister has no black ticking.
I was wondering if the black ticking on him would change the name of his color/pattern?
He's got a nice light metallic wash over him that the cam doesn't pick up well. You can see it in the first pic a little bit. It covers most of his body, save for his head. From what I saw in many of his siblings they had much less to no black. I didn't like that he got so black but he's my kissy boy anyway.
I'm trying to breed him to a clean sibling female to see if I could get fry with cleaner colors.
This be she:
Don't mind the black streaks in her fins. It seemed that they were not part of her coloration (I've had this of African cichlids from time to time) and they have cleared up.

The sister looks more what could be called Ivory, though to be honest, I would call her a plat yellow cambo.
When I see lightb bodied fish with the blacjk scaling, I say that they are pineappled. I do not think this is a technical term, though most people would know exactly what I meant.
One can always hope to clean out scaling by breeding to a cleaner fish, but sometimes it doesn't show until the fish is much older.
I have had some fish stay clean until they were 6-7months, and then turn pineapple on me.

Thanks for the info!
That's what Clancy did, I recieved him clean but ticked out as he aged. He's only about 6 or 7 months old.
He's spawning with the female right this second! They're both doing an excellent job for first timers. ^_^
If it goes well it'll be my first spawn in about 4 years. :Y
Question: what exactly defines a Cambodian? I recognise them as light colored bodies with colored fins but I've read where those with metallic colored (light) bodies or light-bodied fish with blue or turquoise do not "technically" qualify. I's confoozed. :wacko: :D

TECHNICALLY a cambodian is a fish with FLESH colored body and red fins.
This is a traditional cambo.
However, it has come to mean any flesh, white or platinum body fish with solid colored fins.

Wow! Yeah I haven't been up on the technicalities of betta types in about 4 years so it's really interesting so see what's changed and how it's changed.
I always thought a Cambodian would be the light bodied fish (flesh tone or metallic) with darker tonesd, solid colored fins. I didn't know it know light finned fish could now be considered Cambos. I need to get to reading! :reading
