Buy the almond leaves tea bags from Wasan Betta on Aquabid. They will last also most forever if you keep them dry.

OK I'll see how much they are. Thanks and wish me luck on my spawn. I found a pair or orange spade tails and a pair or HM malanos

frogyetta, the melano generally is not a bad fish, but the black color didn't go all the way to the tip of the fin. if you want BF, there is too much black. the finnage is slightly imperfect. the anal fin look like of long or is the caudal is short? anyway, don't take it as a offense. i just want to point out something about it. it is a good fish in general and if the color have more black and the body have less iridscent, the finnage improve a bit, it is a very very good fish.

Nice fish. He might grow into his lack of Black on the fins. The body does look to have a lot of iridescents , but that's very common with Melanos. Where did you get him ?

Why would someone get married in Gloversville ? I didn't even get married here Normally people only end up in G'ville if they got lost trying to go north.

Yeah its not too too bad. You just have to be very carefull of wich ones you spawn in order to take out the not so like traits. i had an off branch that didnt work out at all. RC what types of bettas do you work on?
