It's just the name of his color pattern. :)

haha ok. I thought maybe it was somehow related to a certain type of orchid or something like that...

edit: i just looked up "black orchid beta" sure enough, there's that coloration, lol

Soo pretty, reminds me of Friday, he is black and has the blue (lighter color) in the webbing between rays. Soo cute!

lol. thanks

Indeed, I wanted a black CT, but I saw this guy, had some color, and figured "what the heck!". Anyway, after I put him in his new tank, I think he started to show better colors, because he didn't look as good when I bought him. 8)

OMG He is goregous, where did you find him at? I have been looking EVERYWHERE for a rare colored Betta.

lol. Is it really considered "rare"? When I went to PetCo, I just looked for a black one, and saw this, lol.

Tell ya what, I'll buy a dark blue female and I'll breed them

edit: to add, I did go to my local aquarium store today. They had 3 bettas for sale, one labeled as "black orchid" -- it barely had any blue in it. I thought that was interesting. The other 2 were just generic "Crowntail" and "doubletail" or something.
