    Looking for some double tail bettas in the CT area. Males and females. Does anyone know where I can find some?

    Thanks ;)

    I was at Solex's place in December. He has quite a few Betta's. They might have been Half moon, and not Double tail. Check with him.

    Otherwise Dolphin can ship some down to you... he's generally got in stock, and the way he packages and looks after the parcel, the shipping is done very successfully.

    Thanks guys I'll ask him. I just wanted to check if there was a LFS that was known to keep them in stock.

    Solex will give them to you at a really good price! Trust me, don't waste your time with LPS

    The Only LFS that I know of that has DECENTish Bettas is Eco-Pet in Parklands!

    Everywhere elses don't have particularly good Colours, and look weak in my experience! Shame really! I also believe Nick at Hartlands has some nice ones, but I've not been there yet, so can't really comment!!

    But yer, I would go to Solex first, his are Muchos Goodos! If he can't supply you, he can at least point you in the right direction!

    Cheers
    Big G!

    Are they really the same

    I am no Betta expert, but from what I have seen Half Moon and Crown Tails are not the same. Please correct me if I am wrong.

    I have included pictures from the web of the two fish.

    Hi Whisper

    I have siblings DoubleTails for sale if you'd like some. I've been breeding bettas for quite some time now and I must say that this batch I currently have is by far the best spawn I had with DoubleTails as their colouration & finnage is perfect.

    I have Halfmoons as well if you're interested.

    Mail me to solex69@gmail.com to arrange a time for you to come and see the stock.

    PS - Thanks for the kind word guys :)

    Cheers
    Dale

    Half moon most definitely not a crown tail. Price is quite different too.
    Have a local breeder, Riversdale, breeding me stunning fish. Females have absolutely fantastic colouring. Look almost like males.

    Hi Scotty, true halfmoons? I have found to many guys selling super delta as halfmoon.

    Might have to get the guys details from you if I ever go that side again.
