I just got these two bettas tonight.

The male, Wraith (named by children):

The female, Star:

Could you get a picture of Wraith flaring? I think he could be a halfmoon or at least a delta by the way his tail is configured in a relaxed state.
 
That's what the tail looked like on the petco betta I wanted to get but my mom refused to let me have him. he was solid red. His dorcal wasn't as long as yours though.

Do you get your bettas from breeders? you have some nice ones :kewlpics:
 
Itty Bitty Betta,

This is the best pic I could get of Wraith's tail so far. He's still pretty skittish in his new home, so most of the pictures turned out blurry. Hopefully I'll be able to get better photos of him later. I'm pretty positive he's not a halfmoon. I chose him because his dorsal fin looks like he may carry a CT gene in him.

Smockit, yes, I do plan to breed them. Right now I have two week old babies from a different pair and I have a black DT plakat in a breeding tank waiting for Star to be conditioned to breed with him. I'm really hoping for a black and white marble result.

Maestro, thanks for the nomination on Quartz. He's one of my favorites too.

Auratus, Yes, Quartz, Emerald and Blue Moon (the white female in the same pic with Emerald) are all from a breeder. Pineapple, Wraith and Star are from Petco. I have a DT male that I found in Petsmart. More or less, I don't really care where I get the bettas. If they look and act healthy and are colors that draw at my attention, I buy them. At the moment, I have about 20 females, about 10 males and about 30 babies. I haven't actually counted all of them yet. Unfortunately, halfmoons are way out of my price range right now though.
