We noticed what we thought was likely breeder stock also. We have
picked up some gorgeous new male bettas. They usually have the normal
reds and blues. However, we got a black with cream fins and a black
with big wispy clear-grey fins that have an iridescent blue shimmer on
them in the right light. I don't know the technical names for them, but
they are gorgeous.
Sorry bout not adding this to the original thread. I lost it erasing
SPAM the other day.

picked up some gorgeous new male bettas. They usually have the normal
reds and blues. However, we got a black with cream fins and a black
with big wispy clear-grey fins that have an iridescent blue shimmer on
them in the right light. I don't know the technical names for them, but
they are gorgeous.
