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!
