"marine Betta"

[Ethos]

Has anyone ever heard of this before?

I think its just odd.....is it really even a betta?

 

[The-Wolf]

no it is not a betta.
the marine betta Calloplesiops altivelis is part of the devilfish family
and can be quite aggresive, hense the association with bettas (fighting fish)

True, true, Wolf. Plus devilfish tend to have elongated dorsal and ventral fins, which most bettas do.

They're actually fairly common But very expensive

I was thinking of one for my marine tank but unfortunately they get too big so i had to go for the clowns

My LFS has one of these for several months a while back; beautiful fish
I think they were asking like $70 for it

When i first saw it, I thought it was a slug up against the glass.
