Which pic is the best betta?

Question

Hi again, I asked a question like this recently, but this time I have other fish for you to look at. I am ordering breeder bettas through http://www.aquabid.com and I have a pretty big stock coming through. I am not going to get the last few I chose, not very satisfied with looks as far as breeder males. Here is the new and very improved list. All I want to know is which betta is YOUR favorite and why. Which one do you like the least and why? All of your answers are great and will help me pick out any problems with the betta I have chosen. Remember, yes I want pretty fish, but good breeding quality too. Point out any flaws you come across. Thanks! Oh by the way, I'm getting a big stock of fish lol!

1.) Pink HM female

10.) Ok, so.......I know it is A LOT of fish, but I am in need of a big stock anyway. I really need people's opinions on this. I am thinking about getting one more male, but I don't know which one to get. I will post pics of the two I want on here. Thanks!

Answer 1

I prefer the Green Mustard Gas Halfmoon over the Blue Mustard Gas Crown.

His fins look healthy and strong and he has a lovely colour.

Answer 2

1.  Looks more lavendar than pink, but has potential.  I personally don't care for the light colors.

2.  Not bad, but would look much better if caudal had darker color at the base to match other fins. I don't much care for brownish colors in fish.  Unless they're called chocolate, and are a chocolate brown.

3.  This is color I like.  Red may not be kosher with a blue like this, but I like 'em that way.

4.  I like #4, simply because I like the darker colors.  This one is more blue than black, and I'd love to see a true or near true black.  Also, would be much nicer if anal fin coloring matched dorsal and caudal.

5.  For those who like very pale or near white fish, this would be the way to go.

6.  The scalloped tail is a bit different, but don't really care for the color.  Not one I would buy.

7.  Nice dark color.  Again, I like these fins.  Another one I'd like to see in black.  One I'd also definitely like to buy.

8.  Don't like this one at all.  Simply don't like the color.  Never cared for the lighter ones.

Blue mustard gas crowntail.  Love the finnage (but not the fin coloration), but may end up drooping due to being too heavy.  However, since it's generally young fish that are displayed and/or sold, this may be a great one to work with.

Green mustard gas would look nicer if it was a true or darker green.  Actually, the color is pretty nice for a light colored fish, but not one I would buy.

Wow, that took a while.

Have fun!

Answer 3

I love number six. He is so diferent from every other betta i have seen .  I love him. If i ever find one at my local petstore i would buy one like that. thanks  

Answer 4

I love this one    ......4.) Black combtail CT Male (He's cheap because he has red backwash. He will be a fun experiment breeder.)

http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/a... differnt and differnts good,,,,and as for the one i dont like its this one .) Opaque Super Delta Male (Almost halfmoon)

http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/a... its just to plain...!

good luck hope this helps

Answer 5

Appears you got the first 3.  They are nice.  I'm no expert though.

So why was #2 so cheap?

#3 is really nice, beautiful fins and nicely formed back fins.

#4 is handsome even with the red.  Nice transparent fins and such.  I don;t know where you sell to, but petstore little kid customers like those more colorful ones.  Could be fun too.  Take pity on the guy, if you get the other no more shipping expenses for him and he's cheap.  ):

#5 is beautiful.  Really nice fins and color.  

#6 has really nice colors to him.  Expensive, but you get what you pay for.

#7 doesn;t really appeal to me, but I'm not a fan of platinums or CT so.

#8 IS SO FREAKING PRETTY.  I keep looking at him.  He is gorgeous.  Beautiful shade of blue and just enough white mixed through.  GET HIM.

#9 eh again with the platinum crowntails.  He's cheap but still.

#1 HOLY WOW.  He is reallly nice.  Very nice colors.  Spirited too.  

#2 is reeeeallly nice too, but I'm more of a blue person.  Great fins.

I don;t know how you ever decide.  I was mainly looking at color, but I was bored and I like looking at pretty fish.

My personal favorite is #8.  Woah.  I keep looking at him.  but you have to get #4 if not for just pity.  ):

That blue mustard gas is lovelyy too.  More so than the green, but only slightly.

Ahaha, that was fun you can just ignore all that.

Answer 6

I think the Multi color DT male looks pretty cool!

Answer 7

My top three

I like the colors on #3

I really like #4 his fins are really neat.

I also like the colors on #1 at the bottom.

I actually think #4 is my favorite.

Answer 8

My favorites are the Copper red fin HM Male, and the Green Mustard Gas Halfmoon. The color of the green one is spectacular, I've never seen one so green. And his eyes even look blue! Gorgeous. I just love the halfmoons, their tails look so full and lustrous. And its not that I don't like the Blue Mustard Gas Crown Tail, but I just prefer the halfmoons over the crowntails.
