KenR60 Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Well after a gap of 30 years between breeding betta's I've gotten off my Butt and bought a nice pair of Chocolate Orange Butterfly Halfmoons from someone today with intent to breed them. Have taken them to work as I have more time to view and keep an eye on them there and hopefully give them more treats throughout the day to encourage them. Here is someone's Video of the pair http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRbZjQ1U1vQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckie Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Glad you got them Ken, I was quite smitten by that video (but I force myself stay away from long fin bettas now, to simplify my life!). best of luck breeding them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenR60 Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Thanks everyone, as much as the confidence in "good to know they are going to someone who knows what they are doing" well you haven't met me yet LOL I'm what the wife calls an Obsessed Nut, once I get an idea I sleep, dream and eat it ... ( Well not eat the fish!!! ) Funny how you walk past something so beautiful like these Fighters and then one day you fall head over heals for them. Been wanting to buy a good pair since visiting the shop last month and of cause the pair I fell in love with were gone!!!! Back at work we had this Halfmoon Male and I got him all conditioned up ready to breed with another and a little old lady ( in her 80's ) walked in with $35 and bought him AARRrhhhhhhhhh .... So I thought BUGGER ... everytime I try and do this someone will pick the pair I'm trying to breed so I figured go buy your own and put NOT FOR SALE on the tanks LOL So now each day I can go to work without fear of loosing them to customers :-) So why shy away from the longfins Lilli? I've not spent much time looking into the short fin varieties but the little I've seen they too are impressive even without the finage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 I find managing finrot and spawning damage a bit problematic. Probably not so much now that I am on rainwater, but I haven't really been game to try long-fin bettas this year. I may get some TO DIE FOR platinums from Nick1960 soon though, if he'll part with any. They're still in grow-out and already have 180* caudals - male and female. I have never seen such an impressive outcome. /gushing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whtbox Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Looks great Ken I was thinking to exchange it with my Platinum white, but i changed my mind. Good to know you got it and look after those fins :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
