A2/A1 High Quality Posters are available for Order with Mailing. Kindly contact for orders.
Ever-changing and always unique, the world of multicoloured HMPK will never stop giving life to beautiful, rare combinations of colour. Possibly the most loved and confusing variation of Betta in the last 3 years, genetic combinations have proved to be a canvas for painting your dream Betta. Always unduplicatable.
Understanding the Naming:
The world of multicolour fish presents a naming challenge with the sheer diversity and overlapping of genetic types. Commonly used names are Nemo, Candy, Emerald or just 'Multicolour'. Let's take a closer look at slight differences for the naming conventions for the similarly styled fish.
Rule No.1: What makes a Nemo/Candy/Emerald?
First and foremost, what sets these apart from a regular marble is ONE Rule. The rule being: The fish in any combination should have the presence of either Red or Yellow, Red or Orange or all of the three colours present in the Base Layers.
Nemo:
A Nemo can be viewed as a full coloured Koi with the presence of either Red or Yellow, Red or Orange or all of the three colours present in the Base Layers. Using the naming of 'Nemo' groups these fish that present a clean, marbled rich look without the focus on the iridescent/scaling layer. The cleaner the better. At times the iridescent layer can be bred to present a patter on the scales which compliments the fish as a whole. Eg. Galaxy or Samurai Variations. A good Nemo should have a rich, full, well-marbled base colour easily seen by the eye; uncovered by too much iridescent layer. The body marbling should be either large blocked or well splattered. The focus of the colour is the Body.
Nemokoi: Same as above 'Nemo', though presenting Cellophane patching akin to a standard koi variation.
Emerald: An Emerald fish should have the following traits:
1) The presence of either Red or Yellow, Red or Orange or all of the three colours present in its fins. 2) Non-focus on the base colour layer of the body. 3) Majority of the body covered by iridescent layer. The focus of the colour is Finnage.
Candy: A true Candy should have the presence of all 3 base layer colours: Yellow, Orange and Red with black being an optional presentation to taste. It should also have a presence of a strong base layer in patterning on the body and/or lacing on the fins. The iridescent layer should have a minimum of two colours, present in a galaxy variation or well laced. The minimum requirement for a true candy is 5 colours. The focus of the colouration is the overall fish.
