My nerd ass likes this so much because while it's not bettas that use that specific reproductive strategy there are actually fish with a "trap" gender: smaller males who look like female fish and will infiltrate a bigger, stronger male fish's harem to have sex with the females, all while enjoying the protection of the alpha male from predators and rivals.
There you go, you have now learned something about fish biology from a comment on a monsterboy trapfish.

Furthermore, in many species, not only will the females be larger than the males, the males will be the flashier, more colorful and prettier specimens. Common examples for the latter case being true can be found amongst the ranks of the birds; peacocks and roosters being chief among these, but also typical songbirds (blue jays, robins, etc) and the famously vibrant birds of paradise.
Also, just want to add that the "trap" behavior Anon said can be found in fish can also be found in certain species of lizards as well. Furthermore, it is known that some specimens that use this tactic will actually have sex with the alpha male in order to prevent them from being able to also have sex with the females, meaning that it can have uncontested sex with the females and spread its own genes.
That's right. Fish and lizards like traps, too.
