There was a PetLand that used to get the not so common fin variations
from a breeder, as well as what the wholesaler had.
This was a time yrs back when you *never* saw these fin types in
shops. You could only find the spindly, skinny, mass bred junk.
- - But there's always that "certain one" among the mass produced that
appeals. :-) They go right in my cart.
This particular PetLand had crowns that would knock your socks off, as
well as high quality Deltas.
They were also trying to get Halfmoons, but never did. The prices were
about the same as your 12.99 Delta.
Now a days you can sometimes find the nicer types tossed in a shipment
of regs at many stores.
I've seen a few nice Deltas in PetCo shipments, as well as being a not
so often seen color pattern, but only in the females. Never Delta
males.
- - You can buy both males and females here! Some of them were truly
beautiful nicely colored fish. If I were interested in breeding them I'd
find some nice fish to start with.
.......... That is of course if you haven't been
targeted by a certain Betta.....and he or she is coming home with you
no matter what you have to say about it.
Those types are called shady tricksters. You have to beware of them at
all times. You cannot deny them.
Resistance is futile.
- - Tell me about it! :-))
If you find that you have been the victim of one of these, may I
suggest frozen bloodworms to keep them happy at all times.
Freeze dried will not do at all, as they would take it as an insult to
them.
= )~
- - That reminds me, I've got to pick up frozen bloodworms next week when I
go back to Pet Supermarket for a replacement cory. Right now I have the
variety pack and that's real low also.
