I've never seen this species before (actually the guy has 3 that are new to me)

I wish they weren't so expensive.

Very nice!

I'm sure the price will drop in the next 6 months, just keep an eye out

I've come across these before on Aqua Bid. They are some beautiful fish, but the price is always quite high. I don't think it is going to go down anytime soon - sure with it would, however. I believe they are a wild type of betta, pretty rare.

yea there are many species of bettas. i counted more than 150 different species.

betta marcostomas have always been one of the most expensive bettas, but more recently betta A somethings have been very popular due to the rich coloration and the white stripe on the tail.

Macs are pricey, but even they started off at like $400 a fish and are now less. Providing a few people sort out how to breed them, eventually they fall into the realm of affordable (you know, if you sell a kidney or something )

I think you are thinking of Betta albimarginata Chris. They are one of my favorites and someday I'll get my hands on a pair of them too.
