A new screenshot has surfaced showing the boot screen likely to appear on the public preview of Windows 8.1 next week.  The ‘betta fish’ first appeared as a wallpaper in Windows 7, then a Metro version of the fish made its way to the consumer preview in Windows 8.  The fish is a Siamese fighting fish, commonly known as a ‘betta’ fish, used by Microsoft for “beta” builds of the OS.
