    I bought a galaxy koi female and I love her. So friendly. Now I have to look at old pictures to see if she has changed. She is in a four betta sorority in my 29-gallon planted aquarium. I get compliments on how pretty she is. Also on how my sorority sisters' fins are perfect. Last night I was cleaning on my tank and she nibbled on my hair and scared me. I pulled my arm out so fast she hit the floor. We were both shocked. Luckily, she was fine.😊

    this betta has a red colored label on the cup which is falls on the standard group of bettas for petco and petsmart. You should be looking for the 'purple' tags for their most expensive ones
    red = standard bettas
    purple = exotic betta types

      The plakat betta fish were once bred to fight for sport, so they do not have the curtain-like, billowy finnage that bettas are known for. Instead, they possess much shorter fins and tail that allow them to zoom through the water. Thanks for watching!
