Hehe, the breeder near me that I just got my pair from, got the parents of mine from this guy (Phil Lafferty). He does a wonderful job with his Bettas. I posted pics of mine in the members aquarium pictures section if you want to see them.
The IBC betta show I helped with this last summer had several of Phil's fish in it. I am not a member of the IBC but I pimp the heck out of it. IF people really want QUALITY bettas this organization is the place to go. Especially look this group up if you want to breed bettas. I mean you wouldn't try and build a Porsche with Hyundai parts...so why try and raise beautiful bettas with poor quality fish.
