F15hguy Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 wow that second one is gorgeous. is that the spawn or the parent???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Nice PK! I'm not keeping anything at the moment sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilobite Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Thanks the second one is the mum. They were the result of a hm x traditional pk bred by James. I want to improve on the tail and dorsal and get some nice hmpks in the long run Aw Sam! get back into the fighters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Aw Sam! get back into the fighters! I'm yet to see a fish that will justify getting another tank. But with all the imports, maybe I will soon! I'd love to put one in my community but the last guy was too agro and anything that's not PK will likely get nipped :nilly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilobite Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Yeah, I know what you mean, I find it impossible to find a truly nice fighter at the moment. Pks are the best ones without a doubt. Hopefully we get some nice hmpk back into the country huh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I am not breeding either. I have a blue plakat dumbo male and a blue plakat female. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron-Betta Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 currently experimenting with DT male cross double ray CT female. First fighters I have kept in ages... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilobite Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I am not breeding either. I have a blue plakat dumbo male and a blue plakat female. Aw yours were some of the best in NZ currently experimenting with DT male cross double ray CT female. First fighters I have kept in ages... Nice :thup: any photos? A DTCT would be pretty cool to create Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackworm Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 I'm yet to see a fish that will justify getting another tank. But with all the imports, maybe I will soon! I'd love to put one in my community but the last guy was too agro and anything that's not PK will likely get nipped :nilly: I don't suppose you could point me towards these imports? I'd love to have another crack at this with some decent fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Where's your LFS? All of the decent ones and even sometimes Animates have import males for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dachende Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 I can vouch for Animates Takanini having some nice deltas and CTs - well as of last week anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 There was a lovely orange one in the barracks that was moments away from overflowing, luckily for him we alerted staff 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfishybuisness Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Where's your LFS? All of the decent ones and even sometimes Animates have import males for sale.

I would kill to get some of the European and Thai fish into the country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 gotta make $$$, no point having a $100 fighter sitting there for 6 months when I can sell 20 $18 fish in the same time. but I do play around sometimes... couldn't resist a pair of Black Orchids, and am seriously thinking about the super deltas available atm.... really :facepalm: I missed the mustards.

Trilobite Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Yeah, fair enough. But down in chch I know that if there is a decent fish it will be snapped up ASAP pretty much the day it arrives haha Yeah theres some pretty decent super deltas around currently, I wouldnt mind getting one of them either For some reason certain fighter types have been coming into fashion and then go out of it again, like black orchid ct, then it was dumbo pk. And the ones that fall out of fashion are never to be seen again like hmpks, hm females and mustards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 I think fashion may be controlled by importation issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilobite Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Its just a shame that we lose the entire type and hope they will come back into the country again. I guess theres not enough people into fighters for the country to have consistent breeding lines of each type that comes in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 I would be surprised if there are more than 200 serious betta keepers in the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 If breedings are registered then there is proof that a particular fish has been in the country before and it is easier to get them back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camtang Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 is it me or are fighters pretty big in chch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilobite Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 hehe fighters are huge in chch :thup: I really hope it stays that way. Adrienne, how do you register breedings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilobite Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 I would be surprised if there are more than 200 serious betta keepers in the country. I agree, Id say over 100 would be pushing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
