Well, I wanted a betta for my nano cube that I am going to get soon so I stopped at the lps today and check out what kind of bettas they have. Their was a rack full of crowntails, plakats, superdeltas, halfmoons, and veiltails. Since i'd never had a crowntail before I decided to get one. This one is about 4 months old, and was raised by one of the workers, Antonio.

Here are some dark pictures, sorry that's all i've got.

She looks loverly!!!

Where abouts are you from ? ive neva seen a crowntail in my lfs, neva seen a delta, or a half moon either, only recently managed to find double tails!!
 
I am from michigan, she isn't a she, it's a he. He is nearly 4 months old and still growing his crowntail rays. I know from the image, it looks like a she but it's a he.

My lps sells many types of strains of bettas considering that, Antonio, betta, livebearer, and angel breeder breeds different strains.

But the prices of these bettas vary, all female bettas are $4.98, all round tail/plakat bettas are $5.98, fancy crowntails are $7.98, and antonio's bettas are $7.98.
 
I had a feeling that one was a little boy. :)

Very adorable. His fins aren't very long for his age, though. At 4 months, they should be a bit longer. That's why everybody's kind of confused. He looks great, though, and those fins are going to be gorgeous when they grow in.
 
He looks very promising, can't wait to see him when he's all grown :wub:

You're very lucky having such a choice of bettas in your lps

I would be fortunate but not lucky. Any petstore can have these kind of bettas, you can either request them or just find a local breeder around ya that breed bettas. I have 2 local breeders that breeds plakats, halfmoons, superdeltas, crowntails. I really like to get a mg female for this guy as I may plan to breed in the summer.
 
I have one only one LFS/LPS nearby that carries anything more than standard VT's as a rule. They stock several hundred at a time. They have ridiculous prices on anything not a VT though. For instance standard price for an average looking CT is $20 AUD. For a DT $35 AUD, for a HM/Double Tail anything from $80 to $130 AUD. Its frustrating. So I started looking on the net for fish. I might be able to find something of a decent price, I'll probably have to get something interstate though, knowing my luck. I was looking at Aquabid, some people directly sell to Aussies from Asia. I am really thinking about that seriously. Then I'll have an absolutely gorgeous betta like I keep seeing on here. :thumbs:

Oh, thems the dreams.... :D
 
Jdinh, I've adjusted the photos and you can see the fish much better in them, do you mind me re-posting so everyone can see him in full beauty?
