Looks good indeed! It's a Betta splendens Var. "Copper" with super delta fin type.
Cheers,
Hi folks, just bought a betta from c328. An uncle told me it's copper. But don't know whether is it the copper plakat as the tail and fins are longer.
Shot without flash with some sharpening done
Shot with flash in macro mode
Whatya looking at ? Kua simi ?!?
A more natural and original color
BTW, this new betta is in a heavily planted setup with peaceful fish like rasboras, darios and chocolate gourami. Hope he won't wreak havoc in there

I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
Din't intend to get him actually. But since I went all the way to clementi today to get the pl tubes, might as well buy something.
BTW, it's so difficult to get him to pose now since he has done with all his exploring when he just arrived couple of hours ago
Use a mirror. Have fun!!!Originally Posted by wong1979

Oddly enough I think the copper colour was developed from imbellis and then crossed in splendens.
Nonetheless, that's a very nice fella.
Fish.. Simply Irresistable
Back to Killies... slowly.
To answer your question...it is not a plakat. Plakat is short tail.
Have to see it flare to see if it is a half moon. Half Moon tail flare 180deg. or more.
I saw the word half-moon in the shop, so maybe it's what you says. I saw one of benny's copper plakat and I thought it would look nice in my tank, didn't even bother to find out what exactly is a plakat or splendens.
So far so good, I think it's still juvenile as I see other betta in the shop much bigger than he is. I used a mirror last night to make him flare but he don't seem interestedPerhaps I will off the currents when I'm ready to shoot him.
Very nice fish ! I had a copper delta tail betta once....lost him not too long ago though...I really liked him. Here's a pic of him....copper is a very pretty color for a betta when you find a nice one ! Wong...you definitly did....and your pics are better than mine too...lol... Great find !
ISO 200, f/5.6, 1/60s, AWB at 55 mm, w/o flash taken on 01 Aug 2005
Placed dark blue cardboard behind tank. Thus causing mirror effect that made my betta flare
