shooshoo Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 these new boys where lucky enough the miss the thursday night horrors of Guest versus Mr Spider (in gene pool thread fyi) as they were tanked in my bedroom for monitoring since last weekend when they were first brought home. http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w107/sh...on/other175.jpg http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w107/sh...on/other171.jpg the above two are obviously CT, the green is Jelly and the cambo is Strawberry, haha, strawberry jelly. anywho.... http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w107/sh...on/other181.jpg the orange/black (please tell me what he is!) PK is Mustard, and the silver/platinum is Fairy, by the way, fairy doesn't look like your average betta so i was thinking he was a hybrid of something, any ideas? he's a delta with a fair bit of chewing damage but he's a sweet little critter and this is another from a few weeks ago now, name is Dale - my lovely orange boy http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w107/sh...on/other193.jpg and no i still haven't got pics of the copper pair off aquabid, but they'll be here sooner or later 0 and yes they escaped the thursday night trauma due to being conditioned for spawning in the bathroom lucky devils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bettarazzi Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 I think I might have the sister of your green boy. I wonder if all the recent acquisitions from LFSs are from the same supplier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbies Betta Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 the above two are obviously CT, the green is Jelly and the cambo is Strawberry, haha, strawberry jelly. anywho.... :D you silly Like the loks of ur new friends and glad that at least a few of them made it without incident and Bettarazzi, I don't think the same supplier/person would sell to LFS's in 2 diff states, especially considering customs in and out of WA, but could b a possibility :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooshoo Posted May 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 these boys were from a place called PetMagic in Cannington. they had heaps of bettas all over the place, biggest shop ever *proceeds to drool just from remembering it* i spent hours in there *swoon* - i'm really loving Jelly, he has such a little ripper attitude, he gets along just fine from day to day but as soon as you pop up with some munchied for him he's practically jumping out of his tank to get some, hehe. lucky he has a lid huh? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 I don't think the same supplier/person would sell to LFS's in 2 diff states, especially considering customs in and out of WA, but could b a possibility I was thinking that the same fish farm in Thailand or wherever these came from might be supplying everyone. Or do you think these are probably locally bred? I've very curious about how it all works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beano Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 I know the LFS I usually go to imports from thailand. If you get there early in the shipment right after quarantine ends there's a few really nice fish. I usually get there too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Thats right. And I kno places in Melbourne can go to Aquarium Industries and hand pick the fish themselves. *sigh* Adelaide just gets what it is given. Except one shop I know of near Robbie, who gets in some pretty flash Bettas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2jdaze Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Aquarium Industries is the supplier for the place where I got the 2 "HM" that turned out to be superdeltas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celeste84 Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 i know my LFS furballs gets their fish from queensland, not thailand, so there are a few major breeders around aus :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Your LFS's fish probably come from Bayfish Celeste. And they would import from thailand. I know that all the bettas we import at work come from Bankok Aquarium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celeste84 Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 phil, that's the one they were with originally, but after they got a batch of fish infected with columnaris they swapped suppliers not good to have 30 or so fish drop dead within a day of getting them, and all your other bettas getting infected too!

Robbies Betta Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 yeah we don't get flash bettas wish we did, then It'd b so much more difficult going to LFS's cause of all the temptation. As it is I was bringing home a betta a week for the first cple of months when I started the "hobby" Jess which LFS u talking about? If it's Fish Palais have u been there recently? I sold them the rest of my Royal Blues(melano x pastel) bout a month ago, wanted to go in there the other day to see if they're still there :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
