I'm going to have to show them mirrors to get a good spread, but here are the best pics I have...I have three crowntails, the unpictured one is Lavatail - a midnight blue body with red fins and he Never. Stays. Still.
The newer walmart, the one closest to Kmart, ( i think technically that one is in Hudson falls?) seems to be a little better then the older one in Queensbury.
Have you been to the Petco that opened? I am not impressed with them. last time I was there, every one of their tanks had dead fish in it and the customer service is pretty bad too. I told the guy I wanted one of the yellow/ivory snails since I have a dark blue sand substrate. He gives me a big. black mystery snail and said they are all the same and very boring creatures.
I was like THAT is not the point, I specifically asked for the lighter colored one so I would be able to see him better. I was not amused.
Next time I venture out to Saratoga, I'll go visit walmart and petsmart and their huge wall of fish :-D
Ugh, I bought fish at the new Petco, Hated it. And how dare the guy say that mystery snails are boring. >:O I think they are fasciating. I might have to check out the new Walmart.
All these beautiful crowntails make me want one! I have a female CT now, though she looks more like a combtail. But I really want a male. Maybe later this year...
Here is my guy, Comet! I too love Crowntails, they are very pretty with long finnage and yet don't have the problems of blown or torn fins like Halfmoons often get. <3
Petsmart! I was so surprised to see him, I never see marbled bettas around here. The only bettas my Petsmart stocks are Veils, Crowntails, and females. I hear there are some Petsmarts that stock HMs and Plakats. But Aris was definitely a gem.
Does he? I assumed he was marble because he has two colors extending over his body... But looking it up now he kinda does look like a grizzle. If so he isn't 50/50 colored because of the purple on his fins.
black orchid? from Petco. and the second was from petco also. both have grown significantly. I had to move the black orchid to a 5 gal. since when he flared he started filling the 1.5 gal?
These are beautiful fish and fin-age seems to be more hearty than my halfmoon
Here's my Thunder. I'm pretty sure he's a CT. Hard to get a pic though because he's always squiggling towards me when I come to the tank. He's a little love bunny.
Here's Firefly. He is my very first Betta! I love him already.
