Veil Tail - why the low price?

[BettaPirate]

So I have always wondered why Veil Tail Betta always have the lowest price. is it because they are easy to breed? I mean their tails arne't huge like a halmoom but neither are a Plakats.

I was just wondering if anyone had any insight, because veil tails are in my top 5 favorite betta

They are the most common. There are so many of them and they have really dominant genes that they aren't desireable to breed.
Atleast in my opinion

[Perry the platypus]

Yeah. There are a lot. I would say the king Bettas cost the most.

[MadameDesu]

Supply and demand. There's a ton of em and they're not too popular anymore.
I like 'em, but they don't seem to be a favorite among most people on the board.

[fishy314]

There is a huge number of them and people like them

[BettaPirate]

thanks, I figured it was something like that. Their tails might be common but I have found some beauties with unique colors that I want! I have been searching for a double tail veil tail but no luck so far, at least not within pick up distance, I don't want a fish shipped to me.

A DVT would be hard to find whether from a breeder or locally. I have never heard of it before.

Here in devon UK prices are typlicaly

vt = £5

ct = £8

hm = £12

also found a dumbo (was very tempted ) = £18

I think I've only ever seen 2 Double VT's in my life, and both were online and not for sale. Unless you live in an area with a ton of betta breeders I think your best chance to get one would be online and shipping it.
Shipping isnt too bad, I've never had a DOA even with shipping priority in the winter, and I live in Ohio so we have a ton of snow.

you can get regular VT males for as little as $1.99 some places around me
