    I have seen pictures of some on TFF, but it is considered a rarer color. So are pure greens and yellows.

    I was hoping to find one at the store today but couldn't. I saw the one on here, I forgot who just posted it, and I loved it.

    There are lots of examples of members' fish with the different color listed there in that thread.

    I used to think that the cellophane coloured bettas or the ones with cellophane patches were diseased or sick. Even the coloured ones with grizzled cellophane (they look like and old golden rerievers muzzle) look diseased. Now I find out that some are bred to be those colors. Still looks like a sick fish to me.
