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. = )

Oh I dunno, the prices aren't too bad if you look aorund. 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.
