a dragon scale betta is a betta that has a full or almost full body metallic scale. Or any betta that has a full body color white and different color fins. Dragon scale bettas are mixed from wild bettas to get the metallic scales as wild betta only have the shiny metallic scales

Example

Green Dragon scale


Yellow Dragon scale


Black Dragon Scale


Red Dragon Scale

Wow, okay. Thank you Setsuna! I would have never been able to figure it out without you :D

That yellow dragonscale is gorgeous, probably because I LOVE gold :D and the black one is really cool too.

I still think this black dragon VT is worth more then 3 dollars he's at least 10

Dragon scaling is thick and provides a quality of iridescence (refractence, actually) that most Betta do not have, even iridescent ones..
There is also a unique scale distribution as shown in those photos. Thanks, Setsuna.

Purists insist that a true "dragon" has white scales only. Some include light blue. The rest are referred to as "coppers." My opinion is that any thick scale fish that has those characteristics should be called a"dragon."

I'm often wrong. ;-}

@ User,

The difference between a DeT and a VT are not a matter of votes or opinions, but quantifiable characteristics. Check the IBC website or BettySplendens.

I actually think that I'm gonna go back next weekend and see if he's still there. If he is (by some miracle), I'm gonna pick him up.

nice fish, It makes you wonder how many people are working on Vt lines if at all since this one is imported, he is soo pretty.

Oh, User. You keep changing your avatar among the girls in your sorority. I'm so jealous.
