well, it took me almost 3 hrs of standing in petsmart to convince my parents to let me get a new tank and betta...but he was worth that...and more
he has half red half blue eyes (2nd pic)
the first pic shows his double rays
and i think he has a little black orchid, or black melano in him (the black part on his fins have little black dots running beside the rays, all the way to the ends)

no name yet...but i'm working on it

and of course i will have more pics by this weekend

He is amazing. Great pick, Kevin. 3 hours well spent!

Whoa I'm confused, I thought combtails had really short ray extentions-??

Kevin

??combtail??
i know he is a double ray ct...is that a combtail?

he has really started to interact w/ me today...guess he finally figured out i was the one that fed him

his body is also turning a deeper red...instead of that brownish red

i have a list of names that i will post later, and have you guys vote on them

thanks for all the compliments guys!

To me he looked like a double ray. A ct and a combtail are two different things...I always thought combtail meant that the ray extentions were short whereas crowntails have ray extentions around the same length as the main part of the fin. But maybe I am mistaken?

Kevin

i thought combtails were a mix between halfmoons and crowntails...where i got that i have no idea

Kevin

Here is the list of names!
choose your favorite and let me know
1- Lorendo
2- Tex (after mark teixeria<= braves 1st baseman)
3- Peyton (Peyton Manning) Indy Colts
4- Marvin (Marvin Harrison) " "
5- Reggie (Reggie Wayne) " "

if you have other suggestions, please let me know

I'm a big fan of naming fish after sports teams, apparently (see my thread about how you name bettas). I don't like Peyton, so cross that off. I really like Marvin Harrison though, class act all the way. My vote goes for Marvin or Tex. Don't really like the Braves, but with the red and blue, he is colored like the Braves.

Kevin

sports illustrated ranked peyton the #1 player in the nfl...just thought i would put that out there
