To make a long story short, I didn't plan on getting another fish.... But here is he. :roll: I know he's a HM, but what would you call his color pattern? Sorry for the blurry photos & glare, but he didn't want to stay still! (I used natural light so his colors are close, but the sun was reflecting off the tank.)

Bubbles and Bettas website says:
"Halfmoons... obtained their name from their beautiful caudal tail, which is the shape of a halfmoon and spreads at a 180 degree angle....

A Delta tail is the right name for any single tailed non-Halfmoon Betta. A non-Halfmoon is when the tail has straight caudal edges just like a Halfmoon, but they don’t reach 180 degrees....

The Super Delta is similar to a Delta Tail, but an improved version of branching. It's amazing caudal fin extends between 120-160 Degrees. "

Well, I didn't want to stress him out more, after his "interesting" last few days. But maybe I'll need to get him to flare so I can take better photos of him. That might be the only way to tell what he is.

PetSmart labeled him as a "Half Moon" though.

Ok. I guess the only way to determine what they are is to get them to flare and then measure the angle. Based on what I read, I think he's not going to be a full HM, like Petsmart labeled him.... Actually, I'm now wondering if any of the fish they've labeled as halfmoons are truly HMs.
