uh-oh.... Im in trouble now

so.... I have gotten myself into even more trouble (since the auction) LOL.

Here is a male VT that I found at Alamo Aquatics where I like to get some of my supplies and sometimes fish, he wasnt even unpacked yet when I snagged him. His color just jumped out at me..... Is he Copper? (I know someone can tell me what his color is called)


And here is a male HM (which I was shocked to see at Petco... I RARELY ever shop with them due to their prices). I believe his coloration is called a butterfly?


Please forgive the "not-so-great" pictures, they were taken with a cell phone camera.

I LOVE the colors of these beautiful fish. I also have bettas. 1 blue splendid and 1 purple halfmoon. You can check out pics of mine under the intro and greetings that i just posted.

The first one you can call a copper orange, the second one is a BHM ( Butterfly HM)

Thank you Whisper! I knew you would know them! I was only guessing as to the color names :-)

I was really looking at the BHM at work today, and I think I am begining to like him more than the VT because he seems to "flare" his fins most of the time where the VT's dont as much.

elfwolfe - that copper is one gorgeous man!

PetCo has been getting some exquisit specimens in as of late. My buddy who is an Aquatics Manager at one has told me that they found new suppliers in Thai.

Yeah, I've only purchased one VT because of that. Even the Double Tail seems 'fuller finned' all the time. I do have a bunch of CT females and I've noticed that CT males also seem more 'flared' than VTs. Wonder what a CT double tail will be like?
