Found some crowntails!!

[ravekiss]

I've been looking and looking for a crowntail or halfmoon betta and couldnt find any. I have 3 VTs and I want ed 1 more betta.

Aquabid is one place to start. I also know there are a couple of betta clubs in New York state (near to Queens, no idea). They'd be a good place to inquire as well. You might find links to local clubs via the IBC page: http/www.ibcbettas.org/
You'll also find many many breeder links there. Hope that helps!

There's a big pet store on Jericho Tpke in the New Hyde Park area that might have some. I bought two there a couple months ago.

You mean Pets of New Hyde Park? I check them a few weeks ago but they didnt have any..only a few VTs. I guess I'll have to check them again. Thanks. I'm checking out Aquabid right now but I dont really want to ship a fish.

I should be getting one or two crown/comb tails at the weekend (or sooner!). Not sure what they are, but they had gorgeous colours. Hmm... I wonder if I can pursuade dad to take me on thursday or friday...

Hi,
I just purchased some fish from a woman in Brooklyn, last week. Her aquabid name is, Driven2. She also has a website. The web address is in the description of her auctions.

Thanks..I'll go check her out..maybe she's nearby.

I'm not sure of the name of the place. It's a large store with the tanks - loads of them - in the back. The bettas are usually either just as you go in on shelves or just to the left on top of the tanks.

I called up Pets of New Hyde Park and they have 8 crowntails in stock..I'm heading over there as soon as I can!! Its about 45 minutes drive each way though. Wish me luck!

I got two beautiful ones from them. Lost them both to dropsy from those darn black worms. Stopped feeding black worms, stopped losing fish. In fact I even conditioned my pair on betta bites.

 

[ravekiss]

So they usually have good looking ones huh? I cant wait to get down there.

Let us know what you get, and how much they were. Haven't seen any CT's at pet stores here, on Long Island yet.

Yes, I got a lovely deep blue and a cambo from them. I liked the store.
