I finally got my hands on these

Ola ola

I finally managed to get myself a double tail betta male this past weekend (and it was pure accident). I actually managed to find 3 of them but only two survived the trip home as the 3rd was a bit sick....thought I could save him by he had other intentions. Anyways, here is a pic of Sniper, one of the two males:






The double tail is crossed with delta, so I'm kinda chuffed. Honestly, I don't really like this one's colouration, but that doesn't matter...as long as I now have the DT tail type (males that is). Now, I have to go hunt for my DT female in my main planted tank (like that's going to be an easy job :evil. Breeding attempt will commence in a month's time...need oake is still quite young and doesn't look too strong to me either. I am doing water changes in his tank every 2nd day to make sure he is happy and doesn't become sick.

I will update the thread once I manage to get decent pics of the other one....that nobb hides in between the guppy grass & moss all the time. I'll give him some time to get real comfortable with his surroundings...maybe then he'll come out. His colouration is much better than above (white + light blue trim), but his fins has slightly been nipped

Cheers for now

Hey Dale.

at an LFS in EL they have a bunch of double tail females. i bought a bright pink one yesterday. as soon as they up to it, i will put my male with her! really excited about this. they also have a black super delta tail.. tooo mANY FISH, NOT ENOUGH TANK!!!!

 

Yo Slummies - got a photo of that male?

Im trying to think if i can afford to keep him. iv got a white double tail male (i can get a photot of him) but not of the black one.

 

Maybe dale will take him off your hands

 

hahaha!! not a chance.. im going to go and make a plan.. R50 for this fish

 

Solex: When you breed your betta. do you use a betta water treatment, or do you leave the filter on?

 

Slummies - Come now boet, get that black one to me I'm sure I can fit him into one of my tanks.
