I want a some new bettas. My cambodian pair recently died. I decieded I want a plakat. I want a plakat because I think it is kind of wrong to burden these fish with those long finnes that many bettas have today. I don't think any fish with natually short finns should be forced with such a things. You have to put yourself in there place. Having those things weighting them down every moment and every movement in their lives. Greatly affecting their ability to do some things a normal betta should do with eaise. I was just wondering how would a half moon tail effect a plakat betta. Will if slow his speed? Increase it? I just don't want any half moons if the tail will restrict the betta in anyway. THANKS.

half moon plakat? huh...
and...ok...i dont get your reasons for wanting a plakat, but mk.
why not just a real wild betta? plakats are bred to have short fins.
and i dont think fins affect bettas in any way...their just there.

I have never seen a wild type betta splendens for sale on-line or in a pet store of any sort. I have only seen two pictures of wild betta splendens in my whole life. The only way I think you can get a wild type betta slendens is going to Asia and catching one yourself. That is why I just don't get a wild one. I would love to though. I disagree about it not effecting them though. You can even compare a short finned and long finned. Thanks for the imput. Lately I haven't been getting any replies to just about anything. :(

I know, I've chevked those sites. I'm looking for wild betta slendens. Those are a different type of betta. Also long finns effect the speed and agility. The reason being it adds weight to them. The same sort of things happen when a person puts on weight. It lessens your speed and agility. Agian thanks for the imput.
