This is Ember, one of my male Betta splendens, Siamese fighters. He got his name from the orangey-brown color of his body and the orange fins, like the embers of a dying summer bonfire. Only later did he reveal the bright turquoise at the base of his dorsal fin and edging all his other fins. It's a striking contrast between the deep oranges and the bright blues, and it's one I very much like. He also has a blue-green iridescence along his back and sides, though it shows purple when the light hits just right.
Ember is an orange dalmatian veiltail. He has his own 3-gallon underlit tank.

Ah, a dalmatian! I had an apricot dalmatian. He passed away last night though...
Yeah. He got sick with something, I'm not sure what, and I wasn't able to save him
That's a shame... *hugs* I had that happen to Hicks. He was a royal blue crowntail. Saved him from velvet only to loose him to some unknown pathogen. :(
I had a gorgeous round-tail dragon betta, his body-scales the golden-brown color of amber, with red-gold fins edged in lack (his picture is not here though). Not quite four years ago, on my 27th birthday, I was running an errand when someone driving a pickup truck passed out behind the wheel, blew through a turn, and slammed into my car. I spent three hours in the hospital, and when I got home I discovered that my gorgeous dragon betta had died suddenly, of unknown causes, while I was in the hospital.
