ok my local petshop has these bettas imported from thailand, i saw these pair called red dragons, they only have small pointed tails and the fish are smaller than the regular bettas, the shop owner said its a new breed of bettas, and the tag price for the pair is $49.95. anyone heard about these bettas? both are red colors by the way hehe ( i guess thats why they called it red dragons) both the female and the male are smaller than a regular female bettas.
red dragon bettas?

nope it dosen't look like a spade tail, both male and females has short pointed tails and it doesnt spread like the regular bettas, this picture is like those bettas im talking about, but i never notice the blue patch on the side of thyere bodies
Wow - somehow i got so used to "normal" bettas - my brain tells me that is either a betta with cut fins or severe case of fin rot. 
Mine clamps her tail down like that occasionaly and the dorsal turn back and forth. I will try to get some pics soon.
Do they really do that?
Do they really cut fish's fins to try to sell them as something else? What kind of store would sell them? :rant2: What kind of breeder would do that???

Dont like the look of the clamped tail though in the pic posted here... He isnt ill, but rather annoyed...
Re the Red Dragon thing, it is a varient of Plakat Here is a good pic of what it should look like http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?fwbettashmp&1143117075
No Betta should ever have a pointy, spade tail... Buddy is smokin weed if he thinks the pair is worth $45
I had on opprotunity to buy some of these last year... kinda regret turning it down now lol
