Your black plakat is absolutely !
Did you have him imported?

I love the long divided tank.
Did you make it?

 

[SRC]

Thanks...Yes.....Thanks again...and yes lol.

 

[SarahBravo]

All absolutely stunning..... such beautiful fish! And the divided tank looks great, I reckon you could go into business selling those!

I think Gam, Toy and Kam are my most favourite, but they are all gorgeous!!

 

[Angel Lady]

WOOOOOOW those are stunning. The black one is the prettiest betta I have ever saw in my life. I want it so bad..

[Adistar]

wow fish food galore!



thats alot of fish tho! too much for me to feed in one day, my oscar isnt that hungry!


nice pics tho and i envy u for being able to take care of that many bettas and keep them in such good health

 

[SRC]

Thanks .

lol naaaaah they don't eat too awful much...just 8 pellets a day .

Having them at my office helps me have the proper time to care for them IMHO. I have several in the divided tank and then several in 1 gallons all lined up...so I just do water changes on certain days lmao.

But I will tell you...getting sick for just a week..can be detrimental...when you can't get anyone to go do your water changes for you....

I started eating vitamin C tablets in hopes it will keep me from getting too sick this winter lol.

 

[Synirr]

Wow, Gam is one quality fish, that's all I can say!!

 

[SRC]

he was....


Right up until the time I killed him that is.

He either blew his tail(s) or chewed them during shipment form Thailand and he had never really recovered from it. I was in the process of giving him a salt dip.....

....when I hear *crash boom vrrrrrrrrrrrrr* outside. I turned around and look out the kitchen window to see my son upside down under his dirtbike. So out the door I dashed..not thinking to take the fish out of the dip first.

About 30 minutes later....I came in to a dying fish. He wasn't dead yet...and I tried putting fresh water in with the dip to dilute it (didn't wanna just plop him down in fresh water after having been in a dip for 30 min). But he didn't make it. About 10 minutes later he died. I felt like such an ass...but I had to check on Drake...cas he couldn't get the bike off him and it was still running..full tilt at that...the accelerator stuck, and I couldn't get it to turn off...which is why I was gone so long .

From now on....no one goes outside or does anything except watch cartoons during the times I change water or do treatments.

Hindsight though....she's a big ole female dog.

 

[jacblades]

did you make your divided tank?
very nice

 

[SRC]

I did I did...and thank you. I'm in the process of building another..just for my girls (although if I don't stop spending money in other places I'm never gonna get it finished lmao...but it will happen eventually).

Boy Tank


Girl Tank

 

[The ultimate_fish MaC dAddY]

Oh my god. How much did your Red Dragon -Super Delta Plakat cost? And where did you get it? I think I drooled all over the keyboard when I saw her.

 

[SRC]

lol it's a him...and I got him off Aquabid for $12. The breeder of both the Red Dragon and the Black is SiamCrowntail..he has a website too.

http/www.siamcrowntail.com/Mywebsite/My%...oon%20stock.htm

That Red Dragon is actually called a New Version Red Dragon. You could visit his site and e-mail him to see if he has anymore like it...I'm sure he might, or might have some coming up.

He doesn't have alot listed on his website, as far as plakats go..it's mostly HM's and Delta's..as I think he prefers to sell off AB (safer for both buyer and seller).

just go here and type his screenname in SiamCrownTail
http/www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/search.cgi

Search both current and closed auctions.

...he has wondferful bettas. You could even use AB to ask him a question...see what else he has that isn't listed on AB currently. He has plenty of females in all colors...he's asked everytime I've bought from him if I wanted one to match the one I bought..I think they are like $12-15.

W00t, Siamcrowntail is who I'm getting my B. albimarginata from
