Now it's a lot easier to see what it is than explain what it is. So if you take a closer look at the half moon plakat male in this video you can't help but notice what really thick scales it appears to have.
If you miss or can't quite see what I'm talking about, pause the video when the fish's side is full to the camera and you'll easily see the effect on the scales that truly makes this a dragon. You'll notice both their thick, distinctive appearance as well as the metallic like glint. Almost resembles armor, no? Should also bring to mind dragons of lore. And may be the closest you get to the real thing. Who knew?
Dragon Betta Defined: You'll know one when you see one. To be one the body of the fish typically has to flash remarkable metallic iridescence. One that almost could be described as having a silvery look to it. Which when combined with darker finnage produces a contrasting yet dazzling display that almost glows. Each scale seems to be almost highlighted to stand out. Even better, anymore you can find them in a vast and growing array of colors.
I personally feel the most stunning are of the thicker Plakat body types. But here again the look is spreading to other body types too. If you're curious as to the origins of the color type, this article may be the one to read.
CONCLUSION: So have you been overcome by "dragon fever"? Some find that when in the presence of dragons, like this one,
it's hard not to be smitten.
