Petco released its reindition of their King Betta. This "Giant Betta" sells at most locations for 14.99 + tax, and can be found in petcos expanded betta selection. I did buy one to see for myself and basically it is just like any other betta. While locations can vary i believe that these are not true "Giant" bettas but rather large plakats. My King is about 3.5 inches long but to be considered a true Giant, a betta should be around 5-6 inches long. Though my betta has been loosing condition before i was able to spawn him, I would imagine that the genetics would not produce a clutch of true giant bettas.
They make excellent pets and would be best in at least 10 gallons, but worth 14.99? that is the question you must ask before getting one. While it was exciting to see at any petstore, i do admit i was rather disapointed by the fact that i still havent been able to purchase my first true "Giant" 6 inch betta.
