“For the first time in BEP history, a giant Betta won the Best in Show and Best in Giant awards,” said BEP President Bruce Kenneth Tan. “It is very rare . . . to find a giant fish with . . . good color, good body, and good finnage.”

Betta fishes have hundreds of different color patterns, added Tan, which range from solid colors to multicolor patterns. After all, Bettas are known for their incredible hues and large ray-fins.
