Do you mean different tail types?
If so, then try KGBettas or Joby's Bettas, usually have a few on their sites.

No point trying a guilt trip afishdude!
People are entitled to buy what type of Betta they prefer, rather than ones that are deemed "homeless".
I have 4 VTs and wouldn't swap them for the world. I would have loved a CT but my lfs only stock VTs so that's what I brought.
Bettas aren't overstocked in the shops in the UK like they are in the US. We only ever get about 6-8 in at a time and they are generally sold within a few days.

my lfs carries 4 V-Tails and 4 C-Tails.

It's rare to find CTs in UK shops although more places have just started to sell them now. Where I work, we have only ever had VTs in as other tail types seem to be a bit more difficult to get hold of.
The UK just doesn't seem to have such a wide selection on tail types, colour etc.

Or if you're in the US, Aquabid is good. Our petshop gets about max 8 in, but they're really old and usually die about two months after getting their new home.. Some are in tanks with males AND females, some are in tank with other fish that rip their fins, and some are in cups. The cups are best IMO.
