Got him on the weekend :bounce: . I'm thinking could be a half moon??

He's got blue bits in his caudal fin that didn't show up on the pic

nice fish where did you get him from?

Delta tail

yeah i agree on the delta tail

How much do delta's normally cost?

I got him from animates in palmy (Do you recognise him, phoenix44?)

yes i do recognise him, lol :lol:

there is also a blue marble delta that i have been trying to hide

what did they charge you?

definately delta - theres a few coming in atm. Mine cost $39 from Rotorua.

there is also a blue marble delta that i have been trying to hide

Is that the one thats swimming freely in the tank?? I was debating btwn him and my one. But the blue one wouldn't show up as much in my acrlyic tank thats had quite a bit of wear.

I got him for $20 (I thought he might have been a HM so i thought it was a bargin, and i still do 8) )

naah another one. he is almost platinum - but has blue spots on him, and then there is another bright light blue one with colourless fins.

$20 aye? looks like the stock takes will be out again :roll: :lol: I think it should be about $30, so you did get a bargain. :bounce:

Was he the one in the lower tank? Cos if it is, you hid him well, i didn't see him until i came back the next day to get my boy

How come I can't see the pic

yes. I think it may have been in one of the lower tanks - no one ever looks there :lol:

and if you do... you get rewarded :lol: :bounce:

Same as Ron, cant see the pic.

photobucket is having issues ATM

hmmm yes i brought myself a white gas (is it called that?) mostly white but with clearish fins?

from palmy animates the other day (after coming and visiting you pheonix)

looks alot like that guy you have firefish, only a more rounded tail. we only paid $20 or so as well.

not trying to hyjack ur thread...just got a question about tail types

at my LFS there are some female bettas and a male VT, one of the females has a tail that looks kinda like a comb tail but it isnt spikey, its got ummm like square bits missing so instead of being rounded it goes round, then in towards the body in a square shape, then back out to the rounded part adn continues doing that pattern.

is it a tail type or could i just have been attacked by the male during breeding. i wasnt sure about that coz my girls tails look a bit shredded, you can tell its bite marks, doesnt look uniform when my girls get bitten.

thanks

i do not really understand why the whole seller imports some delta tails, not HM?

what a waste!!!!lol lol.lol.lol.

the whole saler sell NORMAL PK as a immatured CT female to LFS. what was going on???????lol. fool us? or fool the fish lol.

D/t's are much much cheaper. lol.

D/t's are much much cheaper. lol.

lol. do we only need cheaper fish? or better fish?lol. and labour of keeping them never cheap lol. :bounce: :bounce:

I think we need better fish. higher quality and more diverse. :bounce:

not everyone is willing to pay though, so the signals sent to the wholesalers are that its better to import cheaper fish... sad aye..

how does one get an imported fish? can i import one myself? how?

you buy the imported fish off shops or those that sell on TM or here. some people import fish, but you need licenses, money, and an uncanny knack for dealing with bureaucracy etc. it is an expensive process, but economies of scale exist, so the more you import and sell the cheaper are the costs associated with the sale of each fish.
