well i was in oxford yesterday and i thought hey why not have a look ay yarton and see what fish they have, so im having a look and all they had was the normal veiltail male bettas when i thought i saw a very nice big female as i get closer its a pure red male plakat so im thinking i dont have a plakat and i do have an empty 3ft tank so i grabed him
he is a big boy much biggar than my veiltail and doubletail, there is just one thing i need to know and its about his mouth its very big it doesnt close he can eat fine and dandy but just woundering if it should be like it is???

Great find. I love Plakats most of all.

As for the mouth, well it should close but you will always see a "lip line".

Hey good find!

My son's VT's mouth doesn't really shut completely, he looks a little goofy but he feeds ok.

Like it's stuck in the open position? That's either a defect or an injury (they can "dislocate" their jaws by fighting, or by eating food too big for their mouths). If it opens and closes some, then maybe it's something else.
