This is my first post besides the introduction. I was told to post my pic here to see what kind of betta I really purchased.

It looks to be a male young plakat. Color wise I'd say chocolate or maybe Mustard gas. And welcome!

PK = Plakat
DS PK = Dragonscale Plakat

And to help you out with future reference (if I'm wrong on any of these, someone please correct me!):
DT = Doubletail
HM = Halfmoon
CT = Crowntail
VT = Veiltail

a lot of these can be mixed as well, like a HMPK is a Halfmoon Plakat, or a DTCT is a Doubletail Crowntail. There's more of these little acronyms, I know, but I can't remember what they are off the top of my head.

I got a betta labeled a "Dragon Scale" at Petsmart last week. I assume he is a male plakat too?

Stump26 Welcome! Your little guy is very cute!

I don't think there is one yet. A few weeks ago someone was trying to compile one together with ALL the acronyms we use here... Idk what happened to that plan...

Acronyms would be nice for newbies. I think this fish is a dragonscale chocolate plakat. The pic is to dark for me though. Does his coloring in his tail look like a brown/yellow?

I have seen DT refer to Double and Delta's
