Stevo165 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Hey guys well im looking at getting into breeding the good old betta splendens BUT living in Dunedin i only have 3 LPS and no LFS so the quality of the stock available is average at the best, where is the best place for me to get nice high quality brood stock and what are the going rates for these fish?? thanks in advance Stephen edit - bad spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfishybuisness Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 um adreinne on here has some very beatiful fighter, try talking to her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 There's a few people in Auckland who have good quality ones, it's a shame they're so hard to find around the rest of the country. We recently moved to Taupo and lost a few of our nice ones and i've completely given up my hunt for now. I miss them being so easy to find!

Stevo165 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 um adreinne on here has some very beatiful fighter, try talking to her Awsome thanks man i will hit her up about it when i get closer to having my barracks completed, any ideas about wether she will ship this far down?

Lol its considerably harder to get anything down here, the closest place that has anything specialised is CHCH, having no car makes that rather difficcult and with the price of gas would be rather out of the question anyway so its all down to the good old NZ Postal service here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 There are sometimes some good ones show up on trademe but yeah I agree Adrienne has good ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlums Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Hi again, unfortunately I don't have plakats. I saw in previous posts that you were querying about shipping down to Dunedin and I do do it overnight via Post Haste Couriers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo165 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 AWSOME i love plakats all i see down here in the petshops are veil tails and their pertty average at that lol i talked to the owner of one of them and he showed me the list of fish that they buy off the options were Male (red) Male (blue) Male (green) and the same colour options for females, i was sadly dissappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 everyone loves pks Yeah, EVERYONE :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilobite Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Plakats are my favourite I'm not a huge fan of long finned fish unless they are really nice. Yeah I've given up on hunting in petshops for that reason and taken to lurking around trademe and breeders for good fish. Yeah, EVERYONE :-? more people wanting 'em, the more people making 'em...

SamH Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 more people wanting 'em, the more people making 'em... It's just another phase :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo165 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 more people wanting 'em, the more people making 'em... So true, it will be good when they become more common, then we will all have to find something new and rare to breed .... cambo dragon pk ftw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshlikesfish Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 It's just another phase :roll: Like dragons and halfmoons once were Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo165 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 i've never liked the half moon's that much dragons are very cool though, crown tails are cool though especially king crown tails, haven't seen any in nz though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshlikesfish Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 What defines a "king crown tail"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilobite Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I wont grow out of this phase. My dream fish is a black copper dragon HMPK...I think they could be achievable with what we have in nz and would be fun to try one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo165 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 as far as i can tell from what iv seen online so dont quote me but the rays branch out past the webbing so it is like a Y in the ray Edit: like this guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
