rose tail betta

[Rooivlerkie]

Hi all
I was wondering about rose tail bettas. I have never see any in Petshops but I saw some in pics. They are beautiful and I wonder if anyone has saw some in petshops? Or are they very rare?

Rosetails are an inbred form of halfmoons, looks like most of them will have health problems, have a look at this link http://bettysplendens.com/articles/page.imp?articleid=984I have a pet shop boy who isn't really a halfmoon, more like a super delta, his tail shows mild rosetail characteristics but fortunately his scales etc are fine and he's big and healthy. But his tail is short for his size and quite pleated. Sadly I can't seem to post pics from my phone to this forum. Lisa

OK thanks.
I most of them do get health problems i will rather try to get round tails or spade tails
