The amazing find of the century

So I've done it, I've found the most amazing fish ever at believe it or not... Petco. It pays to check out the bettas at these stores, in fact, because I found my mustard gas veiltail there too - same store. So anyways, today I went to look at the guppies and check for ottos, and of course had to stroll casually by the bettas. Bottom shelf, not in plain view, a flash of.... COPPER. Knew I had to have it right there, no matter what. Picked him up.... he's a DELTA! OMG! He's just beautiful... every movement he makes him shimmers copper and green. I've never seen anything like it, not even other coppers I've seen. I'm so happy! He has a touch of fin rot in his anal, but he's in bettamax and 82 degrees so that should clear up soon. So the pics suck cuz he's in a jar temporarily, sorry about that!

Here he is with flash (he's not purple in person).

And a horrible pic, but it shows (sorta) his true colors. I can't seem to really capture them.. I'll try once he's in a tank.

He's amazing!!

Alright, I'll make an exception to my hatred of Petco if I find a mustardgas... but ONLY if I find a mustard gas.

He is Stunning.

I only made an exception cuz I found a copper. I loooove them and have always wanted one.


Here's the mustard gas I found at Petco, jkun. He's the coolest veil ever.

MAAnnnn that is a sweet betta but I don't know his colas yet.. aand that mg is way better then mine, mines just gold and blue, and I found mine at petoo also haha. Sweet find.

I never see anything of Veils at my local big shops (petsmart/petco), not that I would buy from there anyway since I want the background on the fish I buy as I want them for breeding. And my lfs, the only Delta/SD's he gets are mine, hahahahaha...he does get some crowns in, although I've never been impressed with the ones I see.

Congrats on the find, he's gorgeous

WOW!!!

Those two bettas are beautiful!! Oh you're so lucky to have found them! Great finds!!

Looks great, Julie! Kind of like a Mustang....

Nice fish, I found a Crowntail at PetCo before myself.
