What are you waiting for...................GO GO GO

 

[kewskills]

stupid question on a fish forum, GO FOR IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[fergalthefish]

i must say the ones i seen posted on here in peoples sigs and stuff seem so much more colourful than ones in seen in my lfs. why is this??

 

[Netty]

Well apart from Strudel all of my fish have been bought online from dpfishways.com and sqbettas.co.uk Strudel was a lucky find at the lfs!!!!

 

[fergalthefish]

so chances are lfs will have the same colours all the time. i dont know anything about the diffrent types i'm afraid but i only seen red, blue or a lovely purple one in my lfs.

 

[Netty]

Generally they do.....well ours does tend to only have reds and blues. Just happened to pop in one day and saw Strudel.......emptied our pockets of change and had just enough to get him. Haven't seen another like him there since but I know a couple of other people on the forum have VTs the same colour as him that they managed to find at lfs.

Haha strudel, I love that name

I can't name two of my current bettas, both black copper devils HM

 

[Netty]

Cheers.....what about

Sooty & Sweep
Onyx
Ebony

 

[newfishy]

this prob sounds dumb, but I would have ended up calling one of them copper, and the other devil.

maybe I have no imagination

Get in there on delivery day and reserve the best ones. ;]

Trust me, your petstore bettas colors will change, probably alot, once he starts getting nice clean warm water and good food.

And, I'm not sure if you have a walmart near you, but you may want to check there. My 2 most unique boys came from a walmart, one looks like strudel, and the other is about 7 differant colors, metallic, and has spots. So its worth a shot.
