Wow! He sure has the fins doesn't he? 50lbs! I guess if you just have to have
him(or another) I suppose its worth it. Is that the actual bid as of now? I've seen higher priced ones.

Well I know I'm used to not having the monies. I look on Aquabid to just to see whats there. I'm starting to find a few in the states which is encouraging.
I need more equipment! I gotta have more Bettas! I'm envious!Chuckling!

it is high priced, 30-35 would be more reasonable but he has great finnage outline, not often you get the anal fin blending so neat to the caudal
pity his rays aren't neat or he would be worth more towards the 50quid mark (uk betta quality prices anyway)


if he's the ideal that you want though then the £50 is worth it!

Looks very long finned and ohm so female to suit if breeding would ideally need to be a neat sd

pretty show quality boy though

Lovely looking betta but personally, his rays aren't the best about. I wouldn't pay £50 plus p&p, £25 with p&p is more like it

Definitely wouldn't pay that much, unless I went completely insane. They had fish so similar to that in my LFS for £10-12, maybe slightly less "metallic" looking

Like Incog says, it has very heavy fins so using him for breeding the female would need to be carefully chosen.
Would be tempting at around £25.

he is cute, for that price no though. if he was more reasonably priced Id pick a female with less heavy fins and a little bit longer and bulkier body so the frys fins would be well supported.
