firefish Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 How much do delta's normally cost? I got him from animates in palmy (Do you recognise him, phoenix44?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 definately delta - theres a few coming in atm. Mine cost $39 from Rotorua. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefish Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 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) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefish Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishbreeder Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 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..

fishbreeder Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 how does one get an imported fish? can i import one myself? how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 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.
