I ended up getting three very young (they are only an 1 1/4 inches long excluding tail) male bettas at PetCo in the last few days. I was in total shock because, well, they had deltas and super deltas for the same low price as VT ($3.49). And they charge $6.99 for CTs, so I'm guessing they just don't know what they have on their hands!!! :D :shifty: so yippie for me!!!


This is Toby. He is definately at least a SD. Since he is still young, I'm thinking he may end up with a wider span when he gets older.

This is Swiffer. I believe he is also a SD. If not, he's so close it counts anyway. ;)

He says, "What do you want?!"

And this is the last guy, Prism. But he is SUPER handsome. The pictures don't even come close to doing him justice. All of his branching is perfectly even. It all stems out in twos. And they are evenly spaced and everything. I think he is almost a HM. It is really breathtaking to see him flare. And like I said, he is only an inch and a quarter long.

I know this picture is dark, but it shows his branching better than any of the others I got. It also shows how close he is to being HM.

If I had any more space for bettas, I'd be going back to PetCo tomorrow and picking up some more of them. They had at least 10 more delta or SD males. All of them were gorgeous. I had such a hard time picking these guys out!! And I wasn't going to be getting any fish when I first went in! :blush: But I couldn't let these guys go home with someone else! :look:
 
Good find..they are handsome. :hyper:
Mine have just had bloodworms and one was swimming about with a worm in his little mouth and showing it to me like mum its stuck
I was going to panic when he spit the whole lot out. :sick:
 
Thanks all!! I am so in love with them. I want to take them to work with me!! Too bad I work in a clothing store.
 
I SAW THEM TOO!!!THERE SUPER TINY! There some at Wal-Mart too. It's a must buy, first time I saw that many people huddled around the betta tubs before.
 
You guys are soooo lucky. All I can ever find at my LFS are VT and CT. I would die for one of those lovely fish you found!
 
my wal-mart almost always ONLY carries combtails. I asked if they ever had crowntails or SD or HM or VT and they said they did but these sold better and faster and they say it lasted longer :shifty: BS :p But yeah that's how I also got my Mystic combtail
