I bought him today, converted one of my bedside tanks into a small fighter tank with shrimp.

He's only small, rather small actually, so I'm assuming he's still young.
He's also rather inquisitive for his first day with me, watching me water change the other tanks.
He's had a quick nibble and then run off back into his plants.
You can just see his blue flecks in that picture, he hasn't learnt to pose yet sadly, but we'll get there.

This is his new converted tank.

Actually, looking at him, he has more of a spade tail, the mrs wanted to call him "petal" because of it.
Why are red VT's so special to you?

my first and favorite (dont tell the others) betta was a red VT. he was a sweet man who played nice with everyone and everything. the nicest fish you could ask for. he sadly died at the ripe old (estimated) age of 3+. he was the most personable betta i have owned to date. so when i see red VTs it makes me smile.
and he is certainly VT. just on the young side. i *heart* him
cheers
