Yeah, culls are just "undesirables" ones that don't have good color. They are great if your scared of investing lots of $$$ on the real deal, so you can see if they work in your tank....
Really nice aquarium you have there! Betta looks amazing as well!

This is the perfect time of year to rehome one though as many people add them to their ponds. Craigslist is probably best....
