Just ordered these guys from Chaba. He's a great seller. I got some fish from him a few years ago and I recently lost my black female from him. I saw these guys and couldn't resist. He's great! His fish are great quality and I've only had health issues with one out of the several I purchased from him. Always communicates and is very friendly. I give him 10/10 as a seller.

They'll be shipped from Thailand on the 18th and I'll pick them up from Linda Olson on the 20th. Then put them together on the 26th!

Now to the fish!

Will do! He is a great seller. With almost 1000 reviews on Aquabid only two are neutral/bad... that is a sign of a great breeder/seller.

i love how clean they look! even Theo had a smidge of black on his ventrils, and Weiss ended up with a faint red wash. but, your pair is stunning. :B you know i'll be watching all your spawn logs. :V

They may get red wash as they age but hopefully not They are very clean and fins are nearly perfect. The dorsal on the male could be better but I can fix that with DT later on.

i didn't have Weiss long. dunno how old he was, but he was always itty bitty. it freaked me out when he started getting red wash, because it was just a streak on his anal, and tail. :I

Theo never got red wash, but he had a little black on his ventrils, right about where the fin met his body, and a bit on his beard.

in my eyes, the male is perfect. :V then again, i'm not as knowledgeable as you on fin form. xD i just think they're purdy fish. :B

He is about as close as you can get on AB. Most fish on AB don't catch my eye to be honest. Very few are IMO worth breeding.

i'm more for color, honestly. that should be apparent by my rainbow of bettas. xD

(speaking of, i need to get updated pics of them all.... :I)

If I bred for color Id have so many AB fish lol. But I breed for good form and strong characteristics according to strain.

Pretty fish!

Is it me or do they look like Halfsun-Plakats? I don't even know if there is such a thing as a HSPK . . . What a noob. xD

Half sun plakats don't exist because half sun would be a HMCT cross to get more extensive rays on the HM.

They are HMPKs and very nice ones at that.

 

[MrVampire181]

Nope they're just really nice HMPKs. Half sun isn't a tail type since theres so few and no dedicated lines and they are not recognized by the IBC. CTPKs are rare with few dedicated breeders. Though in the future we'll probably see a show class for them.

Pretty

 

[MrVampire181]

One more week till they're shipped! Getting their tanks set up
