local betta breeders or petshop that sells them. info on where to find betta in christchurch region would be good. thanks.

Mistymu would be able to tell you and I know she has been breeding them. I have seen them for sale in most of the ChCh shops.

there has been a bit of a female siamese "drought" in chch for a while but i think it is starting to get better. i have found females at both critter kingdoms and if you ask nicely at redwood they sometimes have some hidden out back. as for males you just have to look around. animates and critter kingdoms have males on and off. critter kingdom gets more fancy looking males (crowns and unusual colours sometimes) but you can gaurentee that redwoods siamese will be imported. but it really depends on what you are looking for.

ok...thanks!! where about is critter kingdom located at?

Let us know how the search goes......we need a better range of bettas here in NZ for sure....so snap any unusual bettas!!!

There are 2 Critter Kingdoms. One is in 213 Blenheim Rd and the other 250 Stanmore Rd.

umm... There is one critter kingdom up near the north end of Stanmore road. The other Critter kingdom is on Blenheim road. i have noticed that the blenheim road store often has the males in the little tiny tanks with no airation etc and i personally feel sorry for the males 'cause they always look sad.

yea...heres the results. there not much males in petworld in Ferry Rd, however, many females. theres a CT males in critter kingdom and many females in critter kingdom. for cost wise, $6.95 for a female in critter kingdom is quite a bargain!!! get it quick. just got 3 females today.

good luck!

did you see any white or yellow females or were they all the blue/ brown colours? i like the paler coloured girls. and with the fact that i think i am going to lose one of girls to dropsy (see my thread in 'diseases' if your interested) i will probably be on the lookout for a new girl.

i see red one though

here we have Veil Tail and Crown Tail betta at animates at Christchurch. get them quick!!

.

sorry by bad picture taken by a phone.

which animates shiuh? there are 3! papanui, moorhouse or tower junction? i have plenty of males including a crown already. but they are some lovely looking boys.

How much are the Blue/Red CT?

hi i have bout ninty young bout 2cm long at the moment half r crowns and half r cambodian. blues and reds

I am kicking myself for not having bought a beautiful male at Animates when I was in Christchurch weekend before last.....The Moorhouse Ave animates that is. I bought 2 female bettas from Ferry Road maybe 2 months ago....one is shaping up to be possibly male. There is a filthy tank full of poor sad looking fish at Critter Kingdom in Blenheim Road. I am going to write to the manager about the state of the tanks.....I was upset about other stuff on the day and couldn't face an abusive sales person if I complained directly...but came out of there feeling very sad. Lots of dead fish in various tanks, many being canabalised.....and in the wee tiny containers holding individual male fighters....maybe 4 dead ones..... and several very very sick sad depressed looking fish....with bigger price tags than animates (beautiful healthy looking males for $14.95....damn I wish I had bought that beautiful boy!)

Haven't been to Redwoods for a while. I did visit Animates off Blenheim Road too and can't remember if they had any fighters....if they did they can't have been that spectacular.

yer critter kingdom is like that every time i go in there i tell them they should remove dead fish from there tanks

i personally wouldn't hesitate to call the RSPCA about poorly kept fish. They are still an animal that deserves to be treated with respect.
