I went by the aquarium specialist store earlier today to see their Bettas I saw an add for. The store was pretty awesome, They do custom aquariums/aquarium maintenance and had some awesome tanks. The bettas were also from a local breeder who I was told also show's. He had some beautiful fish, although I wonder if these are the ones who didn't sell lol I still love the guy I bought though, I called up the owner of the store and he's going to see if the breeder is ok with getting in contact with me so I can look at his HM females since I've been on a scavenger hunt trying to find local HM females I like (I haven't found any at all)
He has some minor fin rot, I sent an email to the store owner so he knows and can hopefully catch it if any of the others get finrot.
Is it just me or does this guy have a big caudal fin? Is this a good trait or one a bad one that?
He's also more blue in person
I talked to the breeder and he is going to take pics of some of his available female HM's and I might buy a few. He said he has platinum dragons, blue dragons, platinum dragons with some blue on them, and blue females. He'll also send me some photo's of his males although I don't really have any room for males now, but it's always fun to look. He should email me the photo's tomorrow
I have 13 now, 6 are girls. Since 5 of the fry I got turned out to be female I suddenly had a bunch of room and I want to breed a pair this summer, but not the black coppers because they are still small, so I've been buying Bettas that I really love an aspect of and would want to breed. It just happened that Petco had males that I loved in a short amount of time lol I'm hoping that a good quality female can bring out the better quality's of my males.
my limit is that I can't get any new aquariums since I already have four (48g, 15g, 2.5, 10g)
*edit*
he was holding kinda still so I was able to take a photo without flash more true to what he looks like. The light in that tank is a little yellowish so the yellow in his fins are a little less saturated in person. the flash makes him look to teal/green
I can post one photo of each of the recent males I got if you want?
He's gorgeous! I adore this guy. I can't wait to see him once the fin rot has healed a bit.
OMG, I can't wait to see what kinds of spawns you end up getting. I'm sure they will be stunning!

I'm super excited about breeding too XD I keep looking at all my fish and asking myself "What would it look like it I crossed him with her, or those two, or if I got a female like that" LOL
I'm probably going to breed the blue draqgon first I think if I get a female who I think will go wel with him. Only since he is from an actual breeder and I feel I might have the best chance of finding homes for all his fry. I'm not completely sure yet though lol
and here's all of my recent guys
Multicolor Halfmoon
Platinum red dragon Halfmoon, His fin rot has improved a little since I've had him.
His fins are also super curly at the ends, especially his pectorals.
OHM royal blue halfmoon, he had minor fin rot.
I had to post this photo because it makes me laugh XD
LOLOLOL. The OHM royal blue. LOVE that face! HILARIOUS!
They are all gorgeous! I NEVER see bettas like that where I live, you are so lucky to have found them! I adore your new guy! He's stunning.
Ahgawd! I can't wait to see your spawns!
oh man, the Red Platinum and your new boy.... beautiful <3
glad the fin rot was only mild and that you emailed the store people, hopefully they'll fix up the others if needed... very jealous haha
Thanks! I'm glad you like them, they are definitely my favorite two out of the four in looks. hope so too, and I think they will, They're a very small company in terms of a fish stores, they're really a custom aquarium store. It was kinda funny when I drove up there was a guy putting an aquarium in a truck, and I asked him if I could see the Bettas and he opens up a garage and there's a showroom turned aquarium LOL it looked really nice too, If I can ever afford it I'll definitely want to buy a custom aquarium from them for a saltwater tank.... in the way future when I have a house lol
Also the breeder emailed me with some of his girls, unfortunately his photography kinda sucks so I'll post them after I've bought a couple.
wow sounds nice haha... wish we had stores like that around here ^-^ funny about the garage
