Is There A Betta Type Larger Than The Others?

[confused mermaid]

My moms betta is HUGE...for a betta anyway. I will try and learn how to post pics on here and put one up. I have never seen one like him. He is probably three 1/2 inches long and his fins are so long and flowing that even in a bigger tank they end up being frayed because they drag on the gravel. Everyone that comes over is jealous of him (as am I). I have asked her to let me try to breed him but she won't agree. Is there a kind or breed of Betta that would explain his size?

Thanks

At that size he's almost certainly a giant .
