It looks alot like a male Crown Tail Betta. A freshwater fish.

yep, definitely a crown tail betta.

the thing with this fish is that the face is deformed and its looks nothing like any fish. i can definetely see now that it is a crown tail betta. would anyone happen to know how a fish could possibly get to have a face like this? any suggestions would help

It isn't deformed at all.. the face is white, and its facing towards you. The whiteness is purely a skin coloration, and is not a deformity. It's actually a very gorgeous specimin of a crown tail betta. I wish I owned him

Here is a decent pic of one. There seems to be a slight difference in the tail and face. Here is an even better pic.

Agreed....simply a particularly attractive specimen of the crowntail variety of Betta splendens.....nothing that exotic at all.
