Phil Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 BEAUTIFUL!! Where is he from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beano Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 The usual shop I go to... Stafford Aquarama in Brisbane. They import their betta's. Their new shipments come in on Thursdays (don't know how often) but I knew they were getting a shipment in last Thursday. They said all the really really good ones sell that day (people come in specially to snap up the good fish). I love this fish, he's got great deportment!

Beano Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Nope - I've only been breeding crowntails. I should have bought a copper HM female to go with this one... Oh well, maybe next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beano Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 well, you're right about him being a showoff - he's built this mammoth bubblenest! Like it's the hugest nest I've ever seen. And layers upon layers thick, it's almost 1cm out of the water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbies Betta Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 very nice fish there The thing with showoffs(that I've found) is that they build the BST bubbl;e nests in their containers, and then when they go into the spawning tank, all they do is strut their stuff for the female and that's bout it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 so speaks the queen of metallics aw, shucks! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beano Posted July 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Yeah, he might be all fins no action... I don't think I can breed him, he's so preety! Maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphire Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 :lol: He's absolutely beautiful. I hope you are able to breed from him. You never know, when you look like that you should take advantage of it. Kat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beano Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Ack!! Chewed dorsal!!!!! Why would it target only the dorsal though? Looks like maybe finrot? The webbing is reducing slightly on the anal as well. Looks like it's ripped on the dorsal though, but the rays seem to be intact. AGHHHH! Oh well I guess he's a breeder now...

Chuckie Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 that's the silver lining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beano Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 for a chewed/finrot fish, he still holds his fins out proudly! Great deportment, is that a breedable trait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooshoo Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 I have a HM copper girl that i was planning to breed, but i don't have the time right now. her sibling brother is OHM full copper with the same red wash in the ventrals and anal so my guess is they'd be a good match. SO, if you indeed are keen on getting this boy jiggy then i've got a girl to pimp out. lol. let me know ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beano Posted August 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 oh your back in Brisbane!!!! I'll have to see how my next work rotation goes - so far it's pretty busy I swap rotations next week - if it gets quieter, I'll think about breeding him. Thanks for the offer!

shooshoo Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 yeah, lucky brisbane is once again blessed by my presence... lol. well let me know when/if you want her, my copper OHM boy chewed his tail up good and proper, and continues to do so... so you have my sympathy!
