I bought him as a gift to myself for my birthday. Hes adorable and at first I thought he was a dull brown color but now his color is really perking up! And I mean really! You can see how bright he's gotten from the third picture of when I first brought him home. Sooo nifty!
His first bubble nest today after only 3 days. I was so proud of my little boy ^-^.Its huge and he diligently tended it for hours while I did my homework.
Now he was labeled as a double tail halfmoon plakat. But what would his coloring be considered? I was thinking about a chocolate and blue but Im not sure since Im colorblind to blue and cooler tones. He also is starting to show a secondary ring of coloring on his tail. Ill try and get a picture but hes skittish. Does this make him some sort of butterfly mix??

Oh right and his name is Nero Senri. Nero won the name vote I held but I added Senri because it can be written as 1,000 ri, and a ri is a nautical mile of 2.4. And I want Nero to swim that many and more ^^. His older brother fish is jealous of his bubble nests:cool:

I LOVE HIM!!!!

Ah.. So pretty. As for tail types/coloring don't ask me.. But I loooove him. xD
Awh, that fin shape looks so cool. How the dorsal and anal fin are so long with the tiny tail..
He looks like a butterfly, with very uneven colouring to me.
wow! so jealous! he's gorgeous!
Gorgeous boy :D I'd say he'd be classified as a mustard gas.
Whats the different between a mustard gas and a butterfly? Hes so gosh darn cute Im so glad I picked him!!! Even now he is still tending his bubble nest with great zeal. And dare I say hes actually gotten bluer since that picture was taken. I was thinking he might have the butterfly thing going on but Im not too saavy on tail/ coloration types yet ^^
He is LOVELY.
Where did you find him?

petco in erie PA. I swear they must get breeders who send them fish because they have gorgeous plakats!:-D
Oh man, btw happy birthday! By the looks of that boy you must have had a good birthday :)

Not my birthday yet ^^ in a week here. Its early ;-) I was originally just going to get a better heater for my ten gallon and then I saw the betta selection they had and well the heater was cheaper than expected.. The obvious resulted.
Best part was I only saw 3 sick bettas and the lady had just finished feeding and changing the waterl. And they even had teeny tiny bits of moss ball in each container. 0-0 I was impressed!

Seriously!!
My green DT girl was a enormous surprise at a petco in Arlington, VA. She was mislabeled a veil tail too. I need better/more breeders around here!!
O.O very pretty boy! And he looks like a mustard gas...
He's lovely! I have discovered that I love the Plakats and the double tails, so I really love the Double Tail Plakats!

His shape is very similar to my newest boy.
just at my petsmart yesterday, i saw like an orannge doubletail plakat.. he was so cute! i wouldve gotten him and my white halfmoon but the cute little plakat cost so much :(
This is my first plakat tailed fish so I have to say I really like how they look. Plus he doesnt seem to get bumped as much like my veil tail does. He was 15$, which is a lot, but hes a total sweetheart so its worth it.
