Where To Go

[morphy]

Hi people
I'm new to the forum and im planning to go down the betta splenden route
I have kept them before but in a community tank
I have a marine tank at the moment but everytime I go to the lfs I always stop and admire the bettas
So here is my plan
Buy a few of the fluval spec tanks think they 7.6 lts or somethin like that to house males and a bigger tank for a few females
Problem is I can't seem to find the males I want
I seem to find lots of pistures of one that I like but not in this country they seem to be from the us
The colours what I'm looking for are black and orange halfmoons or all black or all white
I have seen one for sale on bettaboys website that I like but its not the first choice so to say granted its a beaut
If people type in black and orange betta in google a few links for youtube come up with some amazing bettas but they are sold and from us if anyone has or knows where to get these colours from the uk I would be very grateful
As I don't have loads of room for multiple males as of yet I have to be picky so please don't be offened by any of my remarks above

Thanks for readin mike

Hi,

I have purchased a few from eBay in the past, just had a quick look and found this seller who has some beautiful males: eBay bettas

Please note I haven't purchased from this seller before, so it's not a recommendation. Just thought I would point them out as they do delivery.

This link goes to the ebay id for bettaboys! Whilst bettaboys may not have exactly what you want at the moment they may well be able to obtain in their next shipment. Always good to give them a call as they will go out of their way to help you find exactly what you are looking for I have seen a gorgeous black and orange HM male in their shop in recent months.


As for tank sizes,- everyone is different in what they think of as suitable for a male betta,- which really doesn't help I know lol! The smallest I have ever gone for was a temporary 10 litre tank,- but I know that other betta keepers do keep their boys happy and healthy in smaller volumes. It's just a case of frequent water changes
