Guys... I went to my Rainforest Spectrum today and guess what I saw?? MUSTARD GAS CROWNTAILS! NORMAL ONES AND EVEN 2 PRONGED!!!!!!!!!! omg I like freaked! I also saw this blueish greenish plakat for 6.99 maybe bkk_group sold him to em.... cuz he said he was gonna.... Well anyways, I saw this REALYL nice one and it had swim bladder! I asked them why dont you treat it with medicine?? and they went we dont have any so I just had to take him home! I also got another one... the females were so nice! A lot of em were like wuv's mustard gas ct! I was sooooooooo like damn happy! THanks julie for telling me not to lose hope on finding a mustard gas betta! They're soooooo cute! I also saw 2 deltas there.... they were big.... lol! I'm floating them in their new tanks right now! I love them! I've been looking soooooooooooooooo long for one!!!!!! I also bought one like exactly like wuv's male ct but with more blue =) I'm soooooooo freaked!

 

[bkk_group]

the single ray and double ray crowntails were all bred by bkk_group. we sold them a couple of female double ray ct as well. the plakat was also bred by bkk_group. what did the fish with swim bladder look like? i know they had a few from a different breeder last time i was there. i'd hate to think one of my guys had swim bladder cause they were all healthy when sold.

Omg!!!!!!! I love you bkk! I love your bettas! The swim bladder fishie was a mustard gas he was the best of the group! The female mustard gasses were like soooooooo awesome! The plakat seems dead H'es very pretty doh

OH btw did you check out the clowntails?? THEY'RE AWWWWWEEEEESOME! I love em! Mines blue and purple =) They only have 2 left shoot lol! There was also this very pretty halfmoon! and the funny thing is, when I told Sandy ( the female dude lol ) that the 2 pronged crowns werent called doubletailed crowntails she said the fins werent developed fully yet lol! I kept on telling her that it was called 2 pronged crowns... lol! I love the red male with curly fins! he was sooooooo cute! I practically had to buy him but I was outta money! I was crying soooooo bad my dad let me buy him =) =)

i'm reminded of wuv's recent post on going into the pet store and finding one of her bettas had died of neglect...
sigh, i know the problem is the fact that they don't keep them in big enough containers, the plakat is beautiful but he is too big for the plastic cups, the others are still not full grown and it's better for them, but not great, i know they will be sold quickly judging by the fact they phoned me the other day and told me they needed more, a week and a half after i brought them a bunch but still...
they seem like nice people, other breeders i know have recommended them to me in the past, thats why i gave them a chance, but still...
it leaves a nagging thought in my head, i suppose i shouldn't expect any shop to take care of them the way we do at home, and for the most part all the shops around here keep them in comparable containers and at least they change water regularily unlike big al's or petcetera but still...i felt bad for the plakat. last time i was there my wife commented that he didn't look active like before, how could he i guess, when he is in a plastic cup. i noticed that the prize red/black super delta tom dang jr. they decided to keep for themselves as he was in a huge tank, definately enjoying himself but still...
hearing things like that make me question whether i should even sell them or any store more of my fish. i wish it was easier for me to sell my fish by mail, i really do, at least that way they would still be in big enough containers until they were ready to go.
i guess i'm feeling "breeders guilt" right now..questioning the whole process. probably need time to consider everything before selling them more of our fish maybe. or maybe i'm overreacting? i'm confused i guess right now.

bettaluv, if indeed you have one of my fish, take care of it ok?
the rays will develop and they will be incredible fish when mature, just treat em right.

hey bbk, no need to feel guilty or bad. IMO, it's a good thing that you feel these things, means that you REALLY cared for those babies, and their future homes. I believe there are many breeders out there who really can't give a crap the way you guys do.

Think on the bright side, one of them might run into someone who really knows plakats, knows bettas and take him home and give him a 2G tank or something and give him a very good life

BBK- Go there and talk with them. I'm sure they'll comply with your wishes. They obviously love your stock, and I'm sure their customers do too.

 

[Wisperian]

Of course I'll treat your fishies nicely! The males are both in my 2 spare 3gs and the females are in the 10g =) Im so sry I didnt rescue the plakat I feel sooo bad! They called your red delta a deformed big tailed betta when I went today! I cant belive that! I just love your fish! Don't worry! Tell me what you want me to do to them and I'll do it!

 

[Wisperian]

The bettas wre the like most amazing bettas I've ever seen bkk

 

[bkk_group]

They called your red delta a deformed big tailed betta when I went today!

that's actually kind of funny
marianne bred the dad especially to show in "form and finnage" category.
that boy they have now is the splitting image of dad

 

[bkk_group]

i'm actually considering bringing in my own jars especially to hold my fish if i decide to sell them more. it's least i can do for my fish

 

[juliethegr8t]

Very cool news! You're welcome. I knew you'd find one, or two... And look what happened! Jackpot, especially if they came from bkk's fish! Awesome. Congrats!!

I'm assuming you've got pics, and I'll go check, but if not... you better get some up soon.
