I was just wondering if anyone has ever had success with the Petco baby bettas that they sell and if so what kind was it because a lot of people say they got veil tails and that makes me feel that they are mostly veil tails.
If you want to avoid a certain fin type, I'd advise getting an adult.I was just wondering if anyone has ever had success with the Petco baby bettas that they sell and if so what kind was it because a lot of people say they got veil tails and that makes me feel that they are mostly veil tails.

My recently bought male betta has some black on his tail is this fin rot?
Yep! One of my girls is starting to develop a crowntail. My other one looks like a delta, though.Some baby bettas are mislabeled. One of my females was a baby betta and she is starting to grow the “crown” part of a crowntail. So not all of them are veiltails.
Heres the thing, I suggest that if you want a baby betta you should be experienced already with a adult. I have had bettas for over a year now and learned so much! Even I'm still learning. I have 10 bettas and just got my first baby betta at petsmart (He was the only smallest fish there! 4cm!) They are harder to feed, as they sometimes don't eat or the pellets are too big. They need more food as they are trying to grow and also higher quality food with different types to grow. Mine is more shy and is scared of his 5 gallon (I think it was too big, should have used my 2.5gallon with a heater.) I also turned off the filter as he can barely get around!That's too bad sorry to hear that.
Do you have to feed them live foods or can you just feed them micro pellets?
Probably won't get one just interested since I just recently got one from PetSmart (an adult) he is very shy still though
Plus don't even get started on males being labelled as females. At petsmart they sold me a Female betta (it was koi, SCORE). Yeah it was a male, good thing I didnt start a sorority.Some baby bettas are mislabeled. One of my females was a baby betta and she is starting to grow the “crown” part of a crowntail.

It happened to my sorority. I got a mislabeled male. It had short fins and a fatter upper body as well as the oviposter. A month later, he tore up all of my other female betta's fins. He didn't kill them though.Plus don't even get started on males being labelled as females. At petsmart they sold me a Female betta (it was koi, SCORE).

exactly! Always double check this stuff. Petstores are not smart. They once had a halfmoon with ripped fins/fin rot labeled as a veiltail!It happened to my sorority. I got a mislabeled male.
