Some new additions

Hi to all betta fans,

Other than being a betta seller, I am myself a betta fanatic as well and hence, do keep a small collection of bettas for my personal viewing.

With this post, I would like to share with you guys 2 of my latest additions, please enjoy!

Firstly, will be this young, little, fiesty Red CT. Very good deportment at such a young age, I really enjoy watching him flare and dart around aggressively. Let's hope he will grow up well. As usual, my photography skills are kind of poor, the fish looks redder "live". Perhaps the ketapang water plays a part to make him paler looking.

As we chatted around, some of you might know that I do not have very much interest in giants. (For those who don't know, giants are much bigger sized bettas developed a couple of years back.) However, this piece captured my attention with his stunning finnage. I do know there are many giants with such impressive finnage around too but the prices are usually very steep. This piece, however, is relatively cheap to me for such a quality.

Lesser of words, and here comes the picture. He is about 2.75 inches in length.

I hope you guys enjoyed this sharing session, which ringed an idea in my head. Perhaps you guys out there reading could share with me some of your collections too! Simply E-mail the pictures to me at lcl.walter@gmail.com and I will find time to compile some of them up into a post someday for all to share.

Cheers! :)

The Dragon

Hello Betta Frenzies,

Just posting a random information sharing post. The "Dragon" colouration had been a hit since their introduction a few years back. Many of you might understand the colouration criteria well, so the aim of this post is to help those who are new to betta keeping with regards to venturing into the vast range of betta colourations. My information might not be 100% correct, these are what I learnt along the way, so feel free to correct me.

White Platinium

White Dragon

The major point to note in a Dragon is its thick, white scalings. Unlike White Platiniums, the scales are thick and chalky white, which will look like armour plates tiled side to side. Pictures are attached above for your reference.

Next, I will touch on identifying the colour type. As mentioned earlier, it is critical for Dragons to have chalky, white body scaling.  Hence, the finnage colour determines the colouration. Example, a red finned fish with white scalings will be a Red Dragon.

I hope this small little information post will help those still confused with the Dragon colouration. One fact to point out is that Red Dragons are the first of the dragon kinds. Lastly, some pictures of different dragons will be posted below, do enjoy!

Black Dragon

Orange Dragon

Gold Dragon

Red Dragon
