Great pictures !! Even I, who has never seen a Tweediei for real, could have identified that male in the local LFS. A couple of questions … did that male have that coloring in the shop or did the color come back once you had him in your tank and he was comfortable? Second, I think Peter has commented that Tweediei has not been available in the trade or at least not been available in the trade in recent years. Do you know if these fish came from the distributor in Holland or perhaps from another hobbyist? If they came from the distributor then perhaps some of the stock that arrived here in the U.S.several weeks ago were indeed Tweediei. The one case we were able to examine via photos turned out to be a wild betta. Perhaps that was an isolated mistake. We need to keep watch in the coming weeks for another shipment.
