I orginally wanted a CT but now I've seen gorgeus plakats on ebay and wish I cud just buy them now but with work I cant at the mo anyhoo question is I've researched best I can and read somewhere that plakats are more agressive and slightly bigger than the average betta? can anyone confirm? As I was goin to get pygmy cories .....

Hi there.

From personal experience I'd say they are more aggressive. We have a PK male called Diesel and he certainly would not tolerate any tank mates. When we spawned him, we ended up having to separated the fry at 4 weeks old (would normally be 8 - 12 weeks). They were only 1 cm long but were really scrapping with each other.

thanks for the quick reply mmm well I mite just have him in the tank alone then if hes a stunner!

Also just noticed you are selling bettas , do you have any available and do you post? As I know and understand many people prefer not too especially as I'm in moray!

Many thanks!!

I find the pk a far better father though, ive spawned 4 now and all were perfect, great spawners too, but i too wouldnt add one to a tank with other fish.

Modaz - this will be my first betta so not quite ready to breed them! just want a stunner to admire and care for!! had the tank up and ready for ages now need a pretty boy in there to stut his stuf!!

pm back thanks, cant believe the lack of variety available in LFS just the VT which is nice but I really would like a show piece of a fish which will survive when i get him home! Many in the stores look in bad shape
