Some amazing pictures of our bettas

Mesmerising pictures of some of our bettas...Many are ready to spawn, of course. Some of the pictures as just awesome, while others are so-so. While some of the finnage of the bettas are not so great -- cause of the torn finnage, collapse finnage, or any of the combinations, these fish are still very much agressive and active. Ever wonder how to keep in excess of 100 containers around? The growout tanks still have lots of torn-tail males :( ...

What's lacking is pictures of the females, but there are just so many of them and the females are a lot more beautiful (at least they don't have torn finnage much yet!). Specially, long fin giant females are just awesome, with very large caudal spread. Perfect for breeders.

The pictures of males here are combination of HMPK and HM lines we're having. Some of them are giants (but it's so hard to show their gigantic size on the pictures). None of the pictures here are touched (either Photoshopped or else!). What you see is what the fish look like, in their full colouration (though sometimes our lighting isn't much of a help, only using 1 lightbulb LMAO :) The only thing done for the pictures are: cropped, then resize to viewable image (640x480 px).

Some fish refuse to be taken pictures. Also it is worth noted that we only use 1 single tank for all pictures, hence all fish are required to be in their best behaviour in the matter of 5 mins, otherwise they're not pictured (hence you see them behaved accordingly :D)

For those who are interested on the fish, feel free to contact us (email us). Their cost:
  • HMPK = $20, pair = $30
  • HM (or SD) = $25, pair = $40
  • giant HMPK = $35, pair = $50
  • giant HM = $40, pair = $55
  • breeder quality female, buy single $40, buy as a pair add $20 to cost of pairs.
Note that HM term used above refers to HM line (whether the fish is OHM, HM, SD). Some giants achieve SD due to "mistreatment" from us (not having enough containers), however they have very nice gene and if you manage to spawn them (and give good care to the fry), you'll be rewarded with very nice lineage...

For those wondering, breeder-quality females are the ones with very long (for HM lines) and wide caudal with some desirable properties such as 180 degree or 8 rays, (if you prefer rosetail female for HMPK, mention it to us, only very limited numbers avail), etc.

For sydney-siders, meeting can be arranged. Shipping preferred, to east coast $25. You can also take the opportunity to get some of our "rejects" if you're interested. The rejects are the ones that are round-tail, Delta, or simply we think not worth selling (though they are not sick, still very active, and breedable just as other fish that we have!).

Oh, finally, none of the fish shown here have any weird defects whatsoever. Their "weird" shape on the pictures came about when they move so suddenly or agressively during photograph sessions (wish we can ask them to stand still!!). Pay attention to some of our greens ;) Oh, if you have sufficient bandwidth, watch the movies too. There are 2 movies uploaded and they are worth watching! When we said they are agressive, you know what we meant! Most if not all of our fish are just as agressive as shown in the movie (and the pictures).... Notice how wide and big they open their gill during flares (considering we only have 1 tank and they're being swap in/out quickly into the tank, but no, they're ready to fight as soon placed in the tank!)

Enjoy!
