Re: OT. bettas
John, if I may interject. The bettas that you were looking at, were of the
half moon variety. This type of tail when originally started, I think
probably about ten years ago( I was just a wee lad then) where selling in
the thousands of dollars if I recall correctly. They have come down in price
significantly since then, but there is still I high price, supply and
demand, out of every halfmoon genotype spawn, a very small percetange will
be true halfmoon phenotype.
Regards,
Jose
