Here's my little girl Carla I got as a baby betta from PetCo about 4 weeks ago or so :)
I was trying to get a good picture of a side view of her so you can see her color better but she was just way to interested in the camera lens

Her color hasn't quite yet completely developed, but she's already a beautiful bold blue, can't wait until she's full grown with all of her color!
The last picture is of her 5.5 gallon home. Obviously you can see how much more she still has left to grow when you compare her size to the tank!
In one of those pictures you can kind of see how there's a very small chunk of her tail missing... That happened when she took a leap out of her tank yesterday :( She's completely bounced back though, and is as curious and happy as ever!
EDIT: Anyone want to help me out on what species she is? I'm pretty certain she's a VT but I'm not all that great with telling the differences between females, I have a small feeling she could also be a Plakat.
