Crowntail bettas

[BigChiefSmokem]

What makes them different than other bettas? Are they easy to find in pet stores? Do i just go in and ask for a crowntail betta?

The difference is in the fins. Most lfs will are stocked with the standard veils that true betta breeders call mutts. They are a mix of everything. Crowntails are what you would say pure bred and can have a hefty price depending on the color.

You can pay anywhere from $6-$40 for ever fish. They are better to bredd with, you'll get better fry aand you'll have less amount of defromaties. My LFS sells then for $7 a piece, well they sell the veils for $3. Yes, you can find them in most LFS.

The tails on CT's are two colors. Usually the inner color closest to the body is the same color as the body. The outer part of the tail is usually clear. Around here in California CT's are difficult to find. Heres an example

Are their fins usually flared like that all the time or only when threatened?

 

[Starfish]

They are not always flared, although the tail is large enough to notice a CT at first sight.

But do they flare only when threatened or is it a when they feel like it thing?

 

[Starfish]

They usually have reasons for flaring. Mine flare when feeling threatened, at their reflection and one of them when I feed him (kind of a 'my food' type of thing)
