found her at petsmart on a whim...seems i always get my bettas this way >.<
Her name is knives, after the character from Scott Pilgrim vs the world.





She does not hold still for anything so it's hard to get a picture right now. She's been in the tank for 2 days and is just now no longer hiding, so i feel that in a week or so she will be done exploring and be begging for food anytime she sees me which is a perfect photo opt. :)

thanks!
From my googling she looks to be a wild type coloration, I can't tell what fin type she is, its hard for me to tell in females. The reason I got her specifically is I like the speckles in her dorsal fin and wanted to see how those would color up once she is given a proper home. All the females at the store had the horizontal stripes, which iirc, are stress stripes so hopefully those go away once she settles in.
