I hope so the rutilans are getting a deeper red now so hopefully in a few days they'll be really lovely

They look great Pip. You'll have to keep telling us how they are doing. I don't think many people here keep them so will be really interesting to get your opinion of them

yes from ebay lol worked out cheaper than having lfs order them in for me
if people want to keep these though they need to have the indian almond leaves and let the water be stained by the tannings - these and the imbellis need it more than your normal bettas do

just gave them some live fleas and they really hunted them down -totally different to how the betta splendens eat - weird
