For sale on Aquabid. Fgegrgtgthr WHY does it have to be so gorgeous, and WHY do they have to be so pricey!? After import and shipping, around $60. I just got two imported last week. I'm hovering over that "buy now" button, but OMG so expensive. -_- But it's so unique looking, crowntail on top, HM on the bottom.

What. To. Do?!?
:frustrated:

he's also blind. or at least partly.

my Twitch, who's a DTHM, has a CT-ish anal fin. :B

 

[MrVampire181]

I like him other than his eye. BUY HIM SO I CAN GET THE BABIES! Haha.

 

[copperarabian]

He's gorgeous, he reminds me of a betta I use to have

 

[mattoboy]

Wow

 

[watergale]

out of curiosity, how do you know he is blind?

Dragonscaling over the eyes can reduce or eliminate eyesight.

 

[watergale]

oh wow i see that... why does that happen?

Dragonscaling over the eyes can reduce or eliminate eyesight.

Is that not an undesirable thing? Why would anyone want to breed fish that are genetically prone to blindness? :shock:

 

[KadenJames]

Well, he's clearly not completely blind. He's flaring at another fish… which means he can see the other fish. xD

It's the risk you take buying a fish like this. You have to try and breed out the undesirable genetics while keeping the desired ones. That's why betta breeding is so challenging… and addictive. =)

BUT, bad news, guys. Someone beat me to him, he's sold. >_____<

The dragon scaling over the eye is probably thin enough for him to see movement, and he's just flaring instinctively.
