There are half moon betta, delta betta, round tail betta, long tailed betta, crown tailed betta, king betta, and others I don't know of yet.
The betta fish that you buy at Walmart or a pet shop are raised in captivity and bred for their long fins and rich colors.

The wild fish is smaller and not as colorful as its domestic counterpart, but just as feisty with others of its kind.
