o0o0o0o0o thats a cool one u got!!! did u name him?? =)

 

[SoulFish]

nah dont name my fish, when you have as many as me its not very practical

 

[PreciousGems]

You are lucky! You found a Mustard Gas. Looks like the cuadual is torn? Maybe add some bettamax or melafix.

Very cool betta, nice colors...but you should be beaten with wet filter media for getting one (just kidding). I could never get into bettas, but yet I love to look at them in the store, maybe one day I'll bring one home, but i doubt it

 

[SoulFish]

the caudal fin is not ripped, it is a double tail, supposed to be that way, its a double crown tailed

 

[cowlovergirl]

very cool looking betta indeed..

I love naming my fish

Double Tails do not normally look like that. They should be split a lot closer to the body. Did someone label it as a DT? I can tell it has crown tail in it. but its not crowned where the split is and its a really low split, which is why I think its ripped. It might just me a fused DT. Just let me know if it ever grows out.

certainly doesnt look like a rip, i will get a picture of it tommarow, the colors and everthing are divided out into the 2 sides and both sides are nice and rounded out, ill keep an eye on it and see what happens

nice betta soulfish*thumbsups

Nice betta! These guys are contagious! Who gives a rip what the cichlid guys think, bettas rock. Just because they are a hardy fish and losts of fish stores tote them as 'beginner' fish does not mean these are not excellent fish themselves. Bettas are fearless, tough, full of personality and one of the most beautiful freshwater fish you can buy IMO!

Don't get me wrong, cichlids are cool fish! Just get tired of hearing the sigma surrounding bettas.

 

[mcshell]

A cool one!
I usually name all my bettas and the fish that i can distinguish! (guppies / platies look too alike to name them!)

 

[SoulFish]

I currently dont have a female but if anyone knows of good breeders i could contact or anyone who may be able to get ahold of one from this type plz let me know, I am interested in breeding it

 

[PreciousGems]

There is an IBC (International Betta Congress: ibcbettas.com) chapter for Florida I believe. Some members probably have MG femamles. Other wise a good place to get MGs is BCbetta.com. Topbettas.com has a MG female in their stock shop too, but she doesn't have much purple.

 

[fishlover25]

very nice love it!

My Betta's fins are growing out really well lately and I have noticed that it's back fin is split exactly the same way. So I doubt it is a rip.

 

[depthC]

Cool, thats prolly the most colorful betta ive ever seen. I agree with you on not naming your fish, its just not reasonable with so many.

yeah bettas are brilliant.........
anyway in relation to one of my other posts if anyone from the UK reads this could you tell me if you know any specialist betta breeders in the UK.

I want a betta like that!

 

[Hockeygrrl]

He is cool! Where did u get him Soulfish?

 

[SoulFish]

Got him from a guy who imports them from a breeder in thailand, went to his place to buy them so i got to look through his large selection
