How old does a betta fish need to be before it will get its colors? 6 months old? 1 year old? Help??

If you are asking about Betta fry it is usually between 7-11 weeks old. Depending on how well they grow.

It should get its colors when it is several weeks old. Do you have a female betta? They do have some coloring, but not as elaborate and bright as the males.

If you have a male, there is a certain type of betta food that I used to feed mine. I cant remember the name but it has color enhancers in it.

A betta fish needs to be 2-5 years old intill it gets colors and lots of betta fish live up to 8 years old sometimes more!

It depends on howmuch it eats.

i also have a betta fish and i took it to the vet because it was sick so i also asked him and he said it deprnds how much it eats.you have to clean the water and feed it,not alot but 3 times in mornig and 3 times before you go to bed.

it keeps changing colours in a month if its healthy.

All I really know is that if it is a female betta, then It will never get color. They are like peacocks, the males are the colorful ones.
