went to a place today that is suposed to be quite respectable, on the hunt for bettas as usual, coulouful females or some nice males. out the corner of my eye i spotted a tank full of coulourful females "oooooo" i though and i scurried over for a closer look. to my dismay, it was a tank full of PK males. I imediately got a member of staff and said "can i point out that most of these are males" to which i got answered "no... females" i tried to explain that i breed them and i know a pk male a mile away. and all i got was the attitude of "im working in a fish store, i have way more experiance than you so im right". i think his exact words were "belive what you want mate, but those are females"
to add isult to injury there was a very shredded CT male and a very shredded VT male in the same tank. the tank contained about 20 fish and only mabey 3-4 of them were females

i was so angry i stormed out and continued my search, but drew a blank so came back and bought two of them.

one is a creamy yellow colour, with blue and MG on the tail and fins. at full flare he almost makes HM.
the other is a cambodian blue, with light marbling and looks like he may have been bred from a butterfly, as he has a white edge on the fins.

il get some pis up as soon as i find my mysteriously vannishing USB.

gah!!! some people !!!!!!!!!

well it was that of leave two very prety beta to be slowly ripped to shreds... like i say, i consider them rescues, lol, and besides i got males for the price of females so i kinda got them discounted

fair enough.. I have to admit.. I had a made spur of rescuing fish.. I;d brought a big tank that had been split 4 ways and had set up for a friend.. i then went to 3 different shops and saw 4 very pretty fish that werent doin too good, so i thought bugga it, ill have them.. sadly all 4 died within 2 weeks of having them so i learnt from that mistake.. and i only have 3 boys now.. soon to be 4 if i can find a nice CT

Surely if you buy the fish the store will simply buy more to restock and the same thing will happen again? by buying them, odds are 2 more fish will be put into that tank to be shredded.

dont get angry, its only a Q
