Hey everyone, I am new to this forum, and I would like to show you guys my new betta I bought yesterday at a fish store for $5, he was labelled as a short-tailed betta? but I didn't know what type he is.. I think it's a male because of his colours.. Can anyone of you guys see what he is? I'm thinking of a name for him and would like to take some naming suggestions!

he looks like a halfmoon betta totally when he is flared, I have a halfmoon and they are so cute!

But he looks really young though! He's about 1.5" long, time will tell I think, I'm thinkin about housing him into a 2.5 gallon or maybe a 5 gallon.. what do you think? Any name suggestions? :pP

I could be wrong on the tail type, but i think a five gallon would be best, they need more space then pet stores say. I have two bettas in two gallons becuase i cant afford to get a five gallon. In the long run, a five gallon is best but a two gallon is fine. I pick names based on personality, like my male halfmoon is super hyper and active so his name is Beckham. Maybe Aurora becuase he looks like the northern lights?

I think i'm going to setup a 2.5gallon for him, seems like enough room for 1 betta, and hopefully someone could tell me what type he is. He looks very different in pictures then in person!:shock:
