[steppy104]

i've heard people mention that "falx" word...but i never really bothered to ask what it was....

My Local Fish Wholesaler was buying some of those bettas, but they are very expensive ($100AU per fish).

i believe there are a lot more betta types too. aquabid usually has a few odd species at a time.

i think smaragdina is where the copper color came from.

There are lots more! Go here and click on species on the left tool bar.

Hehe, I'm probably the one you're hearing falx from. I have a pair of them, plus a good 50 babies. They're a type of betta - larger than splendens, and mouthbrooders. Anyways, I would really suggest you check out those links if you're interested. There are tons of types of betta species - lots of them just as pretty as splendens, IMO. They're very interesting too, a lot of them mouthbrood, and can live together.

Betta Species

Click the Species link. This should prove very educational

I'd love one of each type, but I think my husband would probably kill me were I to purchase that many fish..... >.>

That is an uncommon species of betta. They are not your run-of-the-mill everyday petstore fish and are quite expensive. The rarest, most expensive betta I've seen for sale is the betta macrostoma from Brunei.

Wow, those macrostromas are too cool. What a handsome fish.
