[kevkoi]

like this one? This one is coming to SLS next week....

[nicholas76]

black bettas were $25 each

now they are short tailed. I need to find some long tailed versions.

Perhaps they are just young , ill find out.


my discus fry are so far doing well. Cant wait for my brime shrimp to hatch.!!

[nicholas76]

yes Kev


those are the ones.

Do they come in the typical long tail male shape ??

[kevkoi]

These are some blacks which we have imported and sold thru SLS previously. They are known as Halfmoon bettas and crowntail bettas.... We have imported from Straits Aquariums (Singapore), Henry Yin(Indonesia), Ploybettas (Thailand), Raybettas (Thailand)... and other than Discus, SLS does show bettas BIG time as well.

The short tail pictured above is called a Halfmoon plakat. The tail spreads like a "D" shape and spreads 180degrees. These fish are a bit more than $25 but they are show quality and exactly like the picture.

so discus didn't take up enough of your time and money Kev?

NICE FISH

Mate, I've done bettas for as long as I've done discus... Both BEAUTIFUL fish. I like beautiful "Show" fish.

Other than those, my other passions... Show Koi (sadly in Aust, there isn't much.), Show Goldfish and Show guppies.

Haven't had time to start marketing and educating on Show Goldfish and Show guppies yet in Australia..... soon, soon, soon..... when I get 72hours in a day.
