New Male Fighter

[Hunterprey]

Well I didnt think I'll get a male fighter again so soon, I had 4 tanks running before and thought to just downgrade to just one big tank. Then thought I take a quick peek @ some Male Bettas @ my LFS. This lovely fish just staring right @ me wagging his tail resistance was futile, I had to take the Betta home.

He has a 5 gallon tank now all to himself. Didnt take long to adjust to his new environment, already very interactive and begging for food Now I have 3 tanks running, 6ft tank, Betta tank and a growout tank for my delhezi theyre all flat black bare bottom tho so maintenance is easy

Oh well, I think he's a halfmoon. But what type of Betta exactly is he? Thanx!

Wow! hes beautiful

 

[Hunterprey]

Thanx mate! He's beautiful on top of that he's very interactive too. Lesson learned, stay away from the Bettas area @ my LFS Any idea what type he is exactly? Thanks

 

[Malawi MaD]

lol may need more tanks otherwise .cant get over how nice he is, yeah hes a halfmoon i think mate.

@Malawi
Thanks Im afraid of going back to Multiple Tank Syndrome. I went to my LFS looking for a Cichlid for my other tank, end up with a Male betta. How does that happen??

@Fishy Friend
Good Call I forgot about the Black Orchids, thats the closest one. Thanks, he's a lovely fish. I'll let him live there as king in his own 5 gallon tank Might add some tankmates later when I move him to a bigger tank. Right now he's happy by himself, exploring his tank.

I cant believe how beautiful he is. I wanted one that looked like that for my birthday! But I couldn't find it

 

[Dieses Madchen]

Good question but how could you not get him he's amazing. Just think though everytime you go to your LFS for cichlids/other spcies your eyes are going to wonder to the betta's again lol

He's a Black Copper, Orchids have blue he also looks like a Rosetail to me

 

[fuzzynicki]

oh wow he is an absolute stunner!! I love coppers!

 

[Hunterprey]

Thanks for all the nice comments!

My Bettas head is black, his half lower body black, half upper body blue. rays in the dorsal fin are blue, rays on the caudal and anal fins white n purple. He has those colours in person, just my camera isnt the best Thanks for letting me know about the rosetail part, been trying to figure out what those tail types are called again. I love Rosetails

Here's another picture. Thanks
