    The wild betta splendens does not have the colors we see today. There are very few colors in the wild, but lots of color genes. Through breeding we have increased the color variations. . . and colors/patterns are still being created.

    in case anyone was wondering, the picture OscarBetta posted was of Betta macrostoma

    Edit: Macrostoma means big mouth... How appropriate
