BaZ Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Hi I don't keep bettas, I never have But, a friend at work is looking for a good place to buy some of the different varieties (crown tails etc) and naturally assumed that since I am into fish, I would either breed them or know all about them So, is there much of the more unusual/fancy types available in Sydney? What kind of prices should he expect to pay? Is he best going to a store or are there a few Betta breeders around Sydney? Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquaman Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Come on Baz, you have a secret Betta fetish, it's OK - just come out into the open with it Cheers mate Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmiccreepers Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Hey Baz, VT's $5-$10, but anything else $40+. Kevkoi here on the forum imports fighters for his shop. I think it's called slippery little somethings? Anyway, he should be able to help your mate out. Cheers, Cassandra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaZ Posted March 18, 2005 Author Share Posted March 18, 2005 Thanks guys I suspect $40 is a bit more than he was hoping to spend but will let him know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 I've brought CT & DT at Canley for $10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mianos Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I saw some rather nice looking crown tails at Pet Barn in Roseberry for 10 bucks I think. Normally they don't seem to have lifestock but hey had some betta bowls with them in them. I'm not into betta's myself but I did set up a betta tank for my parents in law so I can see what people like about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kei Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 really depends on what sorta lfs or pet shop you guys have around... all shops have different prices for the different finage... for sure vail and crown tails are less that $20,.. all the fancies are more than if your not getting em through a breeder.. hey, if your mate is after a cheap buy.. there's an aquarium at canley vale that sells em for $4 eahc.. male and female... hope that helps..

wormboy Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 to get a way from B. spendens a bit. I bought a few B. picta a while ago just for a bit of something different. I hadnt seen them around before but they are relatively easy to breed (they insist on migrating into my sump and breeding amongst the bioballs, they seem to be very adept at circumventing any attempts to stop them).

iamking Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 If he wants to get some imported ones talk to Slippery Little Suckers at Kingsford. They import top quality bettas there but expect to pay about $100-$120 per pair for a Halfmoon or around $40-$80 for a really nice CT pair. They do get other cheaper ones imported though. There are local breeders in sydney on another forum. That usually sell there fry from the imported ones for about $20-40 a pair. Not sure if i am aloud to post the site on here so if you want it PM me. HTH, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
