went to have a look at the pet store, and they have just started selling plakats and halfmoons!!! i was so excited so i bought this little fella. He didn't show much colouring and his water was very dirty. He was $23 and i am very happy with him.
i was thinking what kind of shrimps can i add with him????

thanks

yep male i can tell it takes years to explian
ummmmm maybe Klaus i like that name its from a book
 
nice fish but isnt 23 dollars a bit overated for that fish. in the uk we wouldnt pay more than 10 quid for one like that
 
He is absolutely stunning! :D Lovely colouration on him.
The length of the ventral, anal and dorsal fins are a good indication of sex- even short finned or young males generally have a different fin shape to females :)
 
Thanks guys, but i think i'm naming him Klaus! I just really like that name, also because its in vampire dairies

$23 might be expensive to some people, but in some parts of the world halfmoons are pretty pricey. My LFS has mustard gas halfmoons for around $50 because there aren't many exotic breeders here, whereas when I bred Betta I would import mustard gas HMs from Thailand from show winning bloodlines for only $25-30 (including shipping) because they're so much more common there. It gets worse - elephant ears are around $100. They have some beautiful fish but if I want a real beauty I'll probably import it rather than paying LFS inflation.
