I visited a fish store last Sunday. It's owed by Jodi who imports fighters from Thailand and other places. Her store is like the heaven of Betta lovers.
Ever since I got into Betta keeping (~6 years ago), I wanted a solid red halfmoon Betta. But I never found one that I'm satisfied with until now.
This little guy is 3-4 months old at purchase (Mar 08 09), body length 3.5cm, 5.5cm with caudal fin, great finnage, awesome 180 with slight over-halfmoon when he really tries, very feisty, flares at my fingers! He loves to swim between the leaves of the anubias plant and sleeps on it, too.
I name him, Dexter... :)
