Sarah Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Have a peek at these threads for a good idea on finnage/etc. Symmetrical HMPK Traditional PK Asymmetrical HMPK After you consider these, it mostly comes down to personal taste. Hope this helps. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hi Lachie, it all depends on what you are after. If you want show quality, have a look through this thread to read about what to look for. If form is not as important as colour and you are looking for a nice display fish, is is more a personal choice. I personally LOVE marble and dragon HMPKs. Mind you a clean red is stunning too Here are some pics of plakats I bred last year... I was too slow typing - Sarah got in first.... what she said!...

StephanieBell Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Who breeds symmetrical HMPKs? I don't think I've ever seen one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournebetta Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 a) Traditional Plakat b.) Asymmetrical Plakat c.) symmetrical Plakat There aren't many symmetrical plakat in Victoria, I know I haven't seen one in person. It's great that you're doing a bit of research into what you should be looking for - you might as well get a good one if you're buying a new fish, particularly if you're going to try your hand at breeding. How is a great time to be looking for the right stock as it's "quiet" on the breeding front (for most of us) as winter is often down-time for the breeding activity. Best of luck with the search, let us know how you go! -Ness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briztoon Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 This is not a critique. If we could buy bettas from Indonesia and get them in to Australia, I would definitely buy the following two fish. Male. http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?fwbettashmp&1338942010 Female. http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/closed.cgi?view_closed_item&fwbettashmp1338222147 I don't really have enough tanks to concentrate on two lines, but "if" I could, I would for these two fish.
