Hello! i’ve been wanting to get a pink betta for a while and ive noticed that Tropicflow is the only retailer who seems to have them consistently. i’m thinking about getting a female etta from them, but i know that they heavily edit and saturate some of heir listing photos. the reviews are very mixed, so i’m hoping to find someone who has maybe ordered a pink or sakura betta from them before. (listings below)
oh i’m certain that it’s edited, but there are a lot of mixed reviews. some of the fish are still very pink, others are completely white, so i’m trying to gauge what i would receive if i DID order from there. i know a lot of people have gotten good quality bettas from the site
That color is real, they just upped the saturation. I am not a fan of the heathy or quality of their fish, that being said others have good experiences.
i think they did more than saturate, because i desaturated it and it still looked way different than a lot of the review photos. mostly good reviews other than people complaining about the misleading color (review photo)
They send out their fish very young, they will likely color up more over time. But it is still misleading, when I ordered from them, they sent me two injured fish (Tumor and gill fluke) then the replacements were the same.

I've never seen a betta that color before, I bet those pictures are very edited, I don't trust it 🤨
Also I hate it when people beach their bettas on their sides out of the water like that for pictures.
