i did an image search and saw this pic. i would LOVe to breed bettas that look like these!!

 

[-FighterFishh]

Yeah, I expect they're real. Might be dyed though. Would certainly be very expensive!

 

[comocrayfish5]

i love red and white VT and the spotted PK HM

The spotted are a relatively new strain apparently.
Love the red & White, do hope they're not dyed

 

[comocrayfish5]

i dont think they are , that would mean that the red one would have to have originally all perfectly clear fins and that would be pointless to color beautiful fins like that!

 

[KrazyKuhli]

They are stunning!

What you have is a black dragon, a red dragon and I know lilifishie has one like the one in the top left but smaller find as he's a double tail

I love the red dragon
I saw a halfmoon with the same coloring as the double tail in the top left corner at a pet store the other day really pretty

 

[lilfishie]

I hear my name

heres my yougn DTHM male like the 1 above, bred by me

i have several dragon bettas (black & blue, lilac & orange, green & yellow, silver & orange)

the 2 black and whites are more than likely marbles so will change a lot in there lifetime

Breeders of Betta splendens are quite creative. I suspect that all of the fish that you posted pictures of are readily available. In fact, Betta splendens is already a fish that really is almost never seen in its wild configuration. Instead we are accustomed to fish with long fins and nice colors (my own is a bluish grey colored veiltail). A wild type splendens bears almost no resemblance to those fish. Instead it is a blue/red mixed color with fairly short fins. What you are looking at is the result of selective breeding over several generations.
