	Is this really a CT?
Nick Fish Addict 33 Posts: 553 Kudos: 668 Votes: 509 Registered: 09-Aug-2004	I just visited my LPS today just browsing when the clerk informed me that they had just recieved a new shipment of Bettas...about 300:%):%)I noticed alot had what would seem to be "frayed" fins. What I mean when i say that is the fins themselves are obviously in good shape..no fin rot or anything..but they have curly pig-tail like "hairs" on them. I was told these are CT. Are they?

Aquabid has a lot of different color variations if you just wanted to go look at what was out there also. They are very very pretty.
