They are spectacular!

I've never seen anything other than VTs near where I live... probably a good thing too or my house would be full of em!

Are you going to spawn them?

 

[StarChildren]

so are you gonna condition them all, or who gets to go first?

I'm going to condition all the "dragons", and the first male and first female are my favorites so I'm trying them first.

Stunning fish mate!

It's not any sort of official label, but I see it used to refer to bettas with a metallic color on them (but not solid metallic). Red with turquoise, black with copper, yellow with gold, etc. It's almost always the Thai breeders that use it.
