omg thats so cute =o! where did you get him?

 

[Ben]

a chain pet store that has really gotten its act together since last time i was there

 

[Styx]

SO COOL!!!!! You lucky dog you!!

I'd say he's a black and red butterfly.

I wonder if the double tail gene had anything to do with the extra ventral

 

[wendywc]

Wow, 3 ventrals... I didn't know that was possible. B) Pretty red boy too.

 

[Ben]

Thank you very much everyone
Wendy - Yep, its become fairly common (but not too common) to see Bettas with extra ventrals, i remember seeing someone here and their Pk had 4 even!

Awesome find!! I remember seeing a couple of fish like this on Aquabid recently, and a while back I saw two siblings on Aquabid both with 4 ventrals. While having 4 ventrals like that is probably genetic, I think 3 ventrals is most likely a developmental thing, but cool nonetheless

 

[Ben]

Thanks Syn
I was watching him abit more closley a few minutes ago and as he flared at my boy on the otherside, i noticed that the third ventral is actualy connected (like webbed fingers/toes) to the one on his right, if i can, i'll try and get a photo

I bet all his fins weigh him down, he's a beautiful fish!

 

[afireinside]

That is a very nice betta!

 

[Ben]

I bet all his fins weigh him down, he's a beautiful fish!

Thanks You're right, they do abit, but not too much and i have plants with big leaves for him to rest about and other places for him to rest when he is tired

Thanks OA
