Halfsuns?

You know how it goes, midnight internet browsing because when you've been made redundant there's nothing better to do LOL. Well on my adventures I came across some pics of such beautiful bettas... Halfsuns cyclops

Just wanted to know why they are so hard to find, or is that just in the UK? So pretty you'd think everyone would want one or 3 Wink

or are they not in demand?

I mean the dude who bred them got them on the first spawn. He wasn't aiming for them but if that were me i'd be like cheers

Is it impossible to find them over here? I want verrrrry badly pullhair

They come up for sale occasionally. Its not that they are rare but it normally takes a couple of generations to produce them. Unless a breeder specifically sets out for them, the general betta breeder wont follow it through.

Where is the link?, I want to see! Our store only carries VT and CT (and the occasional PK mixed in with the girls, who come in Thursday BTW so I will have more girls to make the sorority) Love

by **Netty** Tue 13 Apr 2010 - 2:14

They aren't very common unfortunately. The problem I think is that the guy who got them in F1s was extremely lucky as it wouldn't normally show until F2 or 3. You'd only get a small % that are HS and the rest could be a real mishmash that might not sell quite so easily.

by **Vandraco aka Bronzecat** Tue 13 Apr 2010 - 2:16

I think the best way to start the line is by using a Female CT and a Male HM.

by **silverrabbit** Tue 13 Apr 2010 - 2:18

I see... so really, by the time they achieve HS they prob want to keep them back?

So pretty Love

I guess i'll just have to keep a beady eye out for them.

ETA: this person did female CT with male HMPK

Tilly used to have a lovely one a couple of years ago. I think there is a pic of him in the tailtypes sticky.

Goes to mooch...

Ohh handsome Love

He was even better in the flesh Love

by **silverrabbit** Tue 13 Apr 2010 - 2:31

sigh atm I just can't stop thinking about bettas... this is where I'm relieved that we don't have fish-selling supermarkets over here, because i'm bad enough as it is without having to make sure I check all the little cups every time I shop!

by **Netty** Tue 13 Apr 2010 - 2:34

I've had to stop looking now lol There are so many gorgeous bettas out there it would be so easy to just keep buying Shocked

by **silverrabbit** Tue 13 Apr 2010 - 2:46

Mmhmm it's so addictive! ATM there are some very pretty ones on Ebay. I'm in love with a yellow one but can't justify buying him when i've already spent a lot on bettas this past month lol!

Do want some girlies though... actually i *need* them to make a good number, so technically that doesn't count as buying for the sake of it hehe

by **Netty** Tue 13 Apr 2010 - 2:49

Sounds like you'll talk yourself into it lol!

A true addict will always have excuses to get more Whistling

by **silverrabbit** Tue 13 Apr 2010 - 2:54

It's going to be a hard few weeks ahead... even once my new boys are out of QT i'll have 6 more places for boys Twisted Evil

Although apparently my mum has bought me a double tail and something the shop guy called a lyre tail??? Lordy knows what i'll get lol!

must go an get them from her really

by **Netty** Tue 13 Apr 2010 - 3:04

Lucky you

A Lyre tail is basically the same as a DT but the name is usually used mainly abroad.

by **silverrabbit** Tue 13 Apr 2010 - 3:15

I wonder why he didn't just call them both double tails. Prob to get my mum to buy them both lol!

It's not a tail type i'd go out of my way to buy, but hey, mustn't look a gift fish in the gills

by **Netty** Tue 13 Apr 2010 - 3:22

Not our fave either but some are really pretty. Better hurry and get them so we can see Very Happy

by **SheenaShoup** Tue 13 Apr 2010 - 3:25

Yeah, you need them to show us how pretty they are!!! (Will that work as an excuse?) lol!

by **silverrabbit** Tue 13 Apr 2010 - 3:28

Haha I shall have to go and pick them up one evening, and then I can take some pics of Emilio for Lilacamy (Emilio is an Mbu puff). I want more fish *pouts*

Iv seen that yellow one on ebay he's gorgeous would really love him, but like you said you've spent a lot this month so have i and only getting SMP from work isnt great...so will just have to leave him for someone else i think...gorgeous yellow though dont you think!

by **damo2904** Tue 13 Apr 2010 - 9:25

I've been after a DT for MONTHS!!!! Although with all my boys positions taken, it'd be just my luck now I've said it for one to turn up today! Lol!

I saw those yellow ones on eBay, too expensive for me, I'm in the same boat as you silverrabbit, being made redundant is pants, not because we've no official job its because we aint got no money for our betta addictions!!!!!! Twisted Evil

by **silverrabbit** Tue 13 Apr 2010 - 22:34

LMAO so true Damo... I really cannot adjust to this "no unnecessary spending" lark. I want the fish, I don't want to wait lol!

by **silverrabbit** Wed 14 Apr 2010 - 0:07

Mwahahahaha, midnight ebay shopping is doing me considerable damage Twisted Evil

but I was good and only bought one female (I fancied 3). lol!

by **incognito** Wed 14 Apr 2010 - 0:21

hmmm 'no unnecessary spending' i would say that bettas are essential to our well being!

They are fun to watch and love us as much as we love them... in these doom and gloom times do they not cost very little to give a lot of happiness over years?

bettas are like antidepressants!!! they make us happy, see the good things in life, give us their adoration and look soo pretty at the same time... they are essential!!! they make us laugh, they wind us up, show off for us, make us talk to them and are so adorable!!!

bettas are low maintainence when you have work to go to but when the hard times hit and you don't... they def keep you busy!! lol

We NEED them, they are essential!!! thumbup
