Just got this fella today. Is he betta imbellis, or are all captive bred bettas considered betta spendins?

He's what is called a Plakat

Hi
he certainly appears more Betta splenden than Betta imbellis. There's a picture of an imbellis here http/www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http...=1&ct=image

Nice looking guy though

Oh, captive bred imbellis stay as imbellis

Those are the answers I was looking for. So it would be safe to say that a plakat is simply a shorter fin variety of the betta splendens? Also now that I compare the two I see the differences. Thank you guys for clarifying things for me!
