Where do you all get your nice betta from?
Halfmoon, crowntail...
betta with with nice long wavey tail...

Planning to get 1 soon, looking around but only manage to found 1 out of hundred that is nice enough to see in some LFS

LFS got HM? If Pet Safari or UE3 like that, then ya, those would be HMs, but most LFS would have deltas or SDs....

If you want really good ones, you should get from breeders.... LFS ones are mostly C grade ones la (assuming that still applies ).....

You can register into www.bsm.betta4u.com, look up the breeders register and contact them later on...

I got my crowntail from a LFS...
Grade i don't know much about it, actually can say i don't care.
Most important thing that attracts me is a healthy betta, with nice colour and nice fin...
hehe
Anyway i'm not betta fever lah...but i like to keep them in a sence of, they are lively and have nice fin and colour.
Another thing is PRICE TAG...as i'm a student so i won't go for a a betta that cost more than 10 Bucks

hmm.. nice one will eventually cost more than 10 bucks le.. even when i brought the double tail one.. it is from singapore.. cost 12.. but reduce to 10..
actually im not sure where to get nice betta.. it is jus that im so lucky tat day fish shop got some double tail which is very rare...
they sell like 2, 5 , 12 according to the quality of the fish.. sometime cant even see a nice betta there.. it depends..

Yeah you're right...
Normally betta cost 3 to 5 bucks as what i've seen around lah...
But...very hard to find a nice enough for me to buy
haha
Anyway, my "nice" defenition is quite simple...
I like betta with 1 colour, full body that is like coloured like a car...haha
nice fins, no tear no disease...
and it's healthy...
thats all

hehe.. there is alot of betta with only have one colour.. especially the red one.. i got one whole red..
somehow u can ask the fish seller.. whether they input any nice betta.. i think if there is demand.. they will eventually got some in the shop heh..

Hmmm....
Red ones i saw alot, but with short fins and tail...
I bought 1 crowntail for 3bucks only...when i got him, he's very shy...
He is dark blue colour and after keeping him for awhile, his tail and fins get longer and nicer...but too bad...he's already in heaven due to pump "accident"...
Hope that i can find another one that look something like him...such a cute one...

Oh.... Ok ok... I get what you mean now....

Actually, it is all depending on your luck, especially with LFS types... So far, single coloured ones, very rarely i can get good ones from LFS... The best solid coloured ones i got were an extended red DDR CT male, and a turqoise CT female.... Oh, and my definition of good is not only what newgen has mentioned, but also includes finnage and crown extention (for the CT)...

You may try AI (Aquatics International) from Sungai Buloh... They have good fin form and healthy fish.... Colour, again depends on your luck.. Sometimes they have solid blues or reds, but most will be cambodians.....

hmm.. yesterday i went to ikano power center.. pet safari shop there.. i saw some nice betta there.. only 50 i think.. if u guy interested.. can go there have a look heh..

You don't have to look for a fancy breeder to get a nice betta fish....surprisingly, at Petsmart, they have a lot of nice-looking bettas. (although of course the majority are veil tails, I saw a lot of unique colored ones..) it's kind of sad though, how they're kept in terribly tiny plastic containers. You could also try aquabid.com.
