I ordered a betta smaragdina guitar and it came quite healthy. However, it barely resembles the pictures provided. Fins and tail are quite different however the pattern is the same.

I started researching Bettas and found these guys. It seemed they have their knowledge down to a fine art. I buy a male copper Betta and wow. This little guy is full of energy, fantastic color and super healthy. I haven't raised blackworms yet but do have a culture of white worms in which he loves. Just have to watch how much cause he is a little porcienios. If you can splurge, I highly recommend buying from these guys. You won't be sorry.
