Finding A Female Betta Hm

[ArnieStinger]

I've been on the hunt for a female HM of certain colours for breeding with my male betta (purple dude).
My LFS (Which also does birds, rabbits, hamsters, cats, turtles, snakes, lizards, dogs, everything) but does not stock them, and I've been a dead PK? Male betta in one of the tanks which had other fish in it and quite frankly the tanks are in a dyer state.

Could anyone recommend me somewhere I could find a Female Betta HM, im picky about the colour also, If Im really lucky to find a green HM that would make my dad, otherwise a metallic, mustard, or dark multi coloured female.

e-bay or aquabid would probably be your best bets

Maidenhead aquatics have impressed me with the Bettas they have recently. Not just in my local, but a few others.
I've also heard other people say this.

I'd suggest trying your local MA, or contact the best LFS you know near you and see if they can order them in for you

If you are after breeding, don't bother with LFS bettas, their genetics are not supplied and could end up in a bad spawn of fry. Not worth it, for the stress they go through.

When breeding bettas, it is essential that you know their genetics/background. People will ask, if you can't provide, it won't help with rehoming the offspring (yes some people are picky). The major advice here, Know your stock

Best bet is google, could go aquabid if you want to spend that amount of cash. But there are other UK betta breeders, google is a good place to search. You may be looking for days for a decent breeder but I assure you, they are there x
