Alright, let's admit it, we are all guilty of fantasy shopping on Aquabid (and sometimes even splurging!) I thought I would start a thread for people to show off their dream betta's, unusual colors, and exciting purchases!
It's amazing what's being bred these days.....compared to 25 years ago when I first started keeping bettas! Of course, that was before the internet too....lol
He's got such cool coloring and I love his eyes. He kinda reminds me of a grumpy old man, but in a good way. :lol: Ah, man. You're going to make me want Aquabid fishies even more, putting pictures of betta fish and frolicking unicorns in my head... Now I'm going to be imagining that the fish have magical friends and spend the weekends riding around on dragons, seeing the countryside. :shock:
It's not magic, it's the climate, when you can do outdoor breeding have access to all that the fish have evolved to be used to, plus easy access to other top breeders stock and the fact these guys do it for a living vs as a hobby, I am not sure what the exchange rate is but I have been told one of our dollars is about 10 of thiers so a 50 dollar fish on AB is 500 bucks to them which is plenty of reasons to breed and sell fish to us americans.
The last time I went to Petsmart, I saw a little HMPK that could have been this one's indentical twin. Really wanted him, but I absolutely cannot have another.
So hard to tell if so-called "green" bettas ARE really green (since usually ones described as green are really turquoise).....but these guys are close anyway....
I too was joking about the magical water, unicorns, and dragons... I suppose humor doesn't translate well in text. :lol: @Fuenghuang- The first picture you posted is a fish that I have been drooling over for days. His fins are soooo beautiful. @Catw0man- That plakats blue eyes are a large part of why I think he is so pretty. Those greens you posted are awesome. I especially like the second one!
My favourite colour combo is "Mustard Gas" (and, yes, I know the whole story behind the origins of the term and I choose to use it generically because most people do and consequently there is an immediate comprehension of what colour of fish it refers to)....and I have a couple of them....but the ones by Aquastar71 blow me away. I wonder if it is really this bright in person?
