What colors are you working with? Got any butterflys or yellows?
I haven't bred any for the past 4 yrs. I like working with Cambodians - Multi's, pastels, and my fav White Opaques. (I couldn't get the opaques to spawn though, so they don't count). When I do start up again, I will for sure be doing Crowntails. I'm still trying to convince a local shop that gets good stock from a breeder, to bring in some Halfmoons. I would love to bring Halfmoons to the general hobbyist at normal Betta prices. I'm a bit against the outrageous prices some of these breeders charge for Bettas. I can almost see it if these fish lived long lives, like Oscar's, etc....but they don't. I could see it if these fish were extremely hard to breed, or only bred every so many years...etc...but they're not. I cannot justify the prices these breeders are charging, so I keep bugging them to bring on the Halfmoon's, hehe. = ) |

There's lots of good HM fish in the 5-10-20-50 range. You can get nice fish for $20/pr. Neevr did like crowntails though, they look a bit ragged to me. I think it's gone too far; Ididn't mind the famout Eduard Schmidt Folke picture of the red betta on the old TFH looseleaf binder cover; that's about as much of a crowntain as I can take. -- Need Mercedes parts ? - http://parts.mbz.org http://www.mbz.org | Mercedes Mailing lists: http://lists.mbz.org 633CSi 250SE/C 300SD | Killies, killi.net, Crypts, aquaria.net 1970 280SE, 72 280SE | Old wris****ches http://watches.list.mbz.org |
