Celeste84 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 i caved in and grabbed the green/yellow boy today - he's not quite 180, but with exersise he should get there, he has a LOT of branching and scalloped edges to his fins, so he's either gonna be a RT or a feather tail he's also metallic BWAHAHA! my breeding stock is increasing only two quick pics to show his colour, i'll try and get a pics of him flaring tomorrow after he's settled in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 hes really nice, top buy!! how much he set you back? whats a feather tail? i like this colouring... its almost like a bronze from one angle, then brown from the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celeste84 Posted May 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 he cost me $30 i was really happy about that this is a feather tail: http://www.bettashow1.hpg.ig.com.br/FEATHERTAIL.htm they get the scalloped edges to their fins, which can be quite pronounced, but they don't get the massive folding and ruffling of a rosetail i think he'll be RT as most feather tails have the branching of the rays coming off one main ray (like a feather, hence the name) where as rosetail has normal ray splitting...just a lot more of it than usual. although i had one male who had the feather tail scalloping without the weird ray splits before, so who knows *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Is he dragon as well? Or have I got my terminology mixed up again? Whatever, he's nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celeste84 Posted May 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 yeah me too stace, but he's the last male i'll be getting in a while i'm afraid ;; bet, naw he's not a dragon, just a metallic :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 how come your not getting any males? if its too much i can borrow some :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celeste84 Posted May 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 i've got no more room for them ;; i've got 10 males already and 15 or so girls, so there's not much room left at all. well he still won't flare for me, even when he's in the photo tank :-/ these are the best pics i could get of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2jdaze Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 much better hope you can get a flaring one soon maybe he just needs a longer adjustment period :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 wow... he really is a great looking boy!!! sucks about the room though, we all wish to have all the nice bettas in the world though lol i really like his tail though... you still think he will be RT?

Celeste84 Posted May 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 *nods* i've had a few young RT, and they've all looked like that at first. i'd say he isn't going to be a really heavy RT, just enough scalloping and folding for it to look really nice and yeah i should set up a more efficent barracks, but, i like my boys to have lots of space and the UV filter as well :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
