Help With Betta I.d.

[dipsydoodlenoodle]

Can anyone tell me what 'kind' of Betta my lil guy is please? I've so far managed spade tail lol.

I've put a few on to get the best idea of him. Most of the photos aren't great but they show his colours off well.

The first two show off his colours, the 3rd and 4th photo show his lovely blue eyes.

Well he's certainly a find! I can tell you that much.
My guess would be...
(Delta x Veil) or (Veil x Halfmoon)
And as for a description...erm a multicoloured butterfly maybe?

How much did he cost you?

He looks like a cambodian butterfly delta to me. A great find, nice boy!

Red Cambodian veil tail with butterfly traits. Spade tail wouldn't be that long and delta would be 120 degrees or better spread and definately not pointed.

Aww thank you everyone; I think he is gorgeous anyway but then I am very biased.

I was having trouble I.D-ing him as you can tell haha.

Curiosity101 he cost £4.25 which is about average for any betta here (it's probably about 50p more expensive than most bettas but then the shop is more expensive anyway).

I'd saw him weeks and weeks ago and fell in love with him; they were all in tiny tanks and his tank was pushed to the back so no one could see him; I saw him and went out and bought a tank so I could get him; VERY luckily when I went back he was still there . There was another one like him but the other one had bits of black over his body; the other 4 or 5 bettas were just the normal red/blue ones. He was in such a small container that you could hardly see him; his water was dirty and you definately could not see the neon blue bits on him - that was a nice suprise when I got him home in his tank.

Wow, I can't believe you just found him in a fish shop! That's amazing.

Looks like a veil tail with pretty colours IMO!

Betta splendens.

In a garden centre actually; so it's not even like it's a "specialist" shop with interest for specialist fish/species/colours. They have your bog standard normal collection.

I finally remembered to locate a picture of a veil tail and I definately agree; I was admiring his tail last night and taking notes haha
