female Bettas
 
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.

For those of you that have local Petsmart stores, they seem to have
gotten in really nice female Bettas this week, and last week.
I've checked 3 different Petsmarts in 3 different towns, and all had
the same stock, so it's worth a drive to the store if anyone is
lQQking for female Bettas.
I picked up a few long finned females (these are lovely, as they look
more like males when fully grown), and 4 opaques (mostly white with
blue and green genos. That means they look pearly white, yet when the
light hits them right they shimmer either greenish or bluish over
that
peraly white. Gorgeous fish.
Some of the long finned females are *extended* reds, so that's an
even
bigger plus.
I had to replace one of the royal blue LF girls, and found another
LF,
dark red with black marbling over top of the red on her back.
I have just the male for her if she passes quarantine.
I had a nice black round tail juvenlie male shipped to me, and she'll
go nicely with him.
If they aren't compatible, I have at least 3 other extended reds that
are worthy of breeding.
Stores don't often get in nice stock, but occasionally breeders will
let loose of a lot of excess stock and it ends up in the wholesaler
bins.
They may not be show worthy, but often are worthy of spawning. Can't
beat the price either. $1.99 each.
I've seen Crown tail, Delta, Double tail, round tail, rose tail,
super
veils, everything except halfmoons at either Petsmart or PetCo's. Now
it's not like they gets these nicer ones a lot, but they do
occasionally.
2 weeks ago I found another jet black crown tail male. Gorgeous fish,
at PetCo.
You just need to go after they get their fish in, and do it like
every
week.
That's how you find these gems.
Have a Betta day all!

Hey no prob.
It's hard trying to discuss actual fish keeping on a troical fish
group with these idiot around.
If you don't know about a great tropical fish group without the
fruitcakes or monkey butt boys, here's the link. You'll need to sign
up, but it's well worth it.
Lots of knowledgeable folks post there and since it's moderated, fools
like the idiots here can't post there.

http://groups.google.com/group/The-F...m?lnk=li&hl=en

Boy, Roy doesn't like it at all when somebody advertises this group
that was formed so HE and another person would not be allowed, and
will surely go on and on and on about it and the folks there. So block
him if you can (A.Paul.Ing, and bobandcarole ).
(Hissy fit temper tantrums are his M.O. this is how he bahaves because
he was kicked out of the moderated pomd group and went nuts on
everyone associated with the folks that are in charge. I'm a current
target because I speak to one of them...a lovely lady named Gill (said
like Jill).

Right now all the females I recently bought are vying for the alpha
spot, and it's pretty obvious to me already who it will be for sure.
The prettiest white opaque (green geno..meaning she shimmers a lovely
pale green with the light hits her right) out of the batch.
The next nicest is a lovely exteded red with black marbling on her
back. Shy girl though. Must be one of the lowest in the hierarchy, as
she wants no part in the action.
I have her pegged for breeding with my black round tail male.
I should end up with a mix of reds and some black fry.
The black crown tail male that I have is still iffy in quarantine, So
we'll see.
The last black crown tail I had was gorgeous, but didn't make it past
quarantine. = (
You mentioned not knowing the technical names-terms for specific
colors, etc. There are a couple sites that explain and show pics of
the different types and fin varieties out there.
Would you like them?

? ?TYNK is perhaps the biggest trroller and trasher of
the aquaria groups.


ROFLMAO! = )
Oh that's a good one moron.




HOw many others do you see keeping up such extensive posts as TYNK
does....none.


UM...YOU!
And sure, I post a lot. Mostly about FISH on a tropical fish news
group.
You, however, are a toy for amusement.
You re-write my posts to be something nasty or vulgar, post it as if I
made it, then you reply to what you just created.
Roy, that's insane.
You really aren't right in the head and anyone who has ever dealt with
you knows it.

TYNK gets off onthis crap and its her ploy in conjunctin with Gill
Passman so they can make a case to get all the aquaria groups
moderated so they are in total control..


LOL, oh that's a good one.
Idiot.

Poor booby.
Couldn't come up with anything good, so it attacks my intelligence.
Yawn....
