Whats your favorite kind of betta?
I am just wondering what everyones favorite kinds are and colors! I think that mine are veiltails, or crown tails, I like white bettas the best! Oh and today I have finally made it to a bigger town that has like 6 pet stores! So I am going to Petco to see if I can get a younger female betta. Because I have found them there before!

I prefer males to females, and loooooove veiltails and feathertails. I don't like some multicolored ones that I see in pet stores though-- sometimes the color looks too much like dead fish to me.

I agree, there are. I do not really like crowntail males that have the crazy tails...It kinda creeps me out when they have tails like that.

 I am not to much for multis, but I kinda like the purple ones...But white is my favorite color!

Mine is a solid red veiltail and he's a gorgeous little beast when he flares.

My favorite tailtype is Halfmoon and as for color I can't really choose just one so I have a lot of combinations. Instead of solid colors I go for bi-colors, Marbles; Butterflies and Piebalds. Here's a couple of my Favorites.   I've been working on a Purple strain but even then it's a solid Purple body with other colored finnage.

I used to have a bright red one too. He was super handsome!

I love the halfmoon bettas. I have one, which when I take a pic he looks purple, but he is a nice blue with red coloring. If only I can get him to fan out.

Crown tails.
IMO VT are too common. All my HM have been tail biters (5gal, weekly water changes, variety diet, plenty of plants, melafix, IAL, nothing worked). I don't care for the way DT and Delta looks.
And Pet co/smart doesn't sell OHM, cT, or any other fin types.
I like either nice solid colors, or BF and Coppers. Cambodians are ok, but don't care for Cellophanes or Yellows. I've always wanted a red/black Mustard gas CT.

Halfmoons are real hard to find at Petco and/or Petsmart. I got both my halfmoon and doubletail at Petco. But they do sell them there. I haven't seen an opal halfmoon. Crowntails are sold at Petco and/or Petsmart, plus all fin types
