I reallllllly want a halfmoon betta soooo badly! They dont sell them at petstores here. Has anyone ordered their betta online? any relliable websites? or does anyone know a breeder in calgary alberta? I cant find one anywhere and Im obsessed:shock: lol
Also I live in canada so a canadian betta breeder would be helpful for shipping purposes
My Petco carries halfmoons 24/7. Whether they're REALLY halfmoons or not, who knows, but their tails look really close to it (they're usually clamped).
-Gasp- Really?? That's so weird. I'm sorry for the loss, LOL ~ if you're desperate, buy from a breeder or online. They tend to be much more beautiful than store-bought anyways
The petco near me sells deltas as halfmoons. Not even super deltas. I am very picky with halfmoons, and I go by them not flaring. True HM IMO and many picky breeders are 180 degrees even at rest.
I would go online or to a decent breeder if you want a good HM. Petstores and other stores always try to sell non HM as HM.
Yeah, go check Big Als. That's where I get all my 'fancy' bettas from. Normally they just sell VTs, but sometimes they get other types of bettas in. I recommend going during re-stocking, because if they have any 'fancy' ones they sell fast!
hmm well i live in florida and i'd rather not buy a betta off that aquabid site and have the poor thing shipped =[ i have looked into that international betta website, and the closest chapters to me websites don't work anymore =[ alas, no fancy bettas for me. Unless i meet someone in the central florida area i can meet in person and pay with cash haha
I hear a lot of bettas start tailbiting as well, but it's something they can get over, lol :| I want to try Aquabid, but a bit paranoid, and worried about shipping them.
I went to big als today, soooo many fish all of them had requirements met, clean tanks, nice space...except the bettas. they were kept in the tiny bowls and were completely lethargic and tattered. there fins were so bad it was really terrible. sooo im going to wait until they get a new shipment in. i would love to rescue one of those lil guys but they are charging 50$ per halfmoon so i want a healthy fishy(not meaning to sound harsh)
50 pops a halfmoon betta? The petco here "only" charges 12 bucks! I mean, I used to live in Canada, but I don't remember ever seeing those prices...
Oh, of course. The other fish are gorgeous (which is good), but the bettas are left tattered, yes okay. Man, they always do that to the bettas, but... yeah. Disappointing but not a shocker.
yeah i wasnt surprised by it, but still sad yeah 50 dollars! i couldnt believe it either. big als prices are higher than anywhere ive seen :S i know when petland had them they charged 30$ for halfmoons...
