    I have seen a few lfs selling only bettas nowadays . Its akin to the past Luohan phenomenon that had sweep this country and caused a massive decline of bloodworm supplies when luohan popularity was picking up . The quality back when I was exposed to this species of fish as compared to now is astounding to say the least , like day and night difference ! Back in the day , early 2000 , we were only looking at the types if fins these betta species have but nowaday , the colors that these fishes carries are really gorgeous !

    There are many new types of colors available such as ,
    1) Nemo ( 2 colors of red and yellow , same as the marine clownfish )
    2) Pandas ( main color consist of white plus 1 other color ie black , blue etc )
    3) Multicolor ( many color on a fish but must have the same color on both side of the body )
    4) Alien ( metallic color plus black with a certain pattern uniformity , kinda like a consistent pattern on the fish )
    5) Rim ( a solid white body on the bettas with 1 solid color on the edge of all the fins of this category of fish , no blotches or weird pattern , just a single color on the edges of all the fins , ie blue rim , gold rim and etc etc )
    6) Ninja and or Samurai ( mostly black with 1 other color )
    7) Hellboy ( red and white but I am not sure the percentage or pattern that this category identify as )

    I am slowly learning about this new availability of high quality of bettas . From what I gather , they are produced by farms and aquarist from Thailand and Indonesia . There are many colors and variant available . Have a look see !
    If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
