Carter The Betta Merman

"An amigurumi betta merman doll is the perfect complement to a koi mermaid. Fish-tails add a unique twist to the popular crochet plushy pattern. I LOVE Betta Fish. I have had several over the years. Recently, I found a Paradise Betta in a store and fell in love with the color combination. Brilliant blue with bold yellow inspired me to make another mer-person, but this time, a dude. A flashy dude, like a betta fish. "
