One might be a delta and not a veiltail, but his fins were a tiny bit raggy, so I don't know. I'm considering going back to get him tomorrow... but I think my mom would kill me! ~Meow.

Chris_p69 Enthusiast Posts: 244 Kudos: 15 Votes: 1 Registered: 05-Aug-2001	I once thought of breeding them, but I can never find a good ones and I live in England. There alwayz half dead veil tails and as above often look bleeched they never look well.

Toirtis Mega Fish Posts: 1260 Kudos: 529 Votes: 6 Registered: 24-Feb-2003	The only bettas that the Wal-Marts around here carry are some pretty ragged, bleached-out veils....I can't imagine a CT in a Wal-Mart, much less a black.

Cichlid Keeper Big Fish Posts: 368 Kudos: 466 Votes: 304 Registered: 17-Aug-2003	Well we went to Wal-Mart tonight to get a new male betta to replace our one we lost last night. As we stood there looking at all of them trying to decide on what color to get,there it was. A male black crowntail.We bought him took him home and he is now making residence in a 10 gallon tank at the moment all to himself.

kitten Fish Guru Meow? Posts: 2266 Kudos: 2194 Votes: 19 Registered: 18-Nov-2003	Ooo... sounds gorgeous. I've only seen ONE black betta personally, and even then, I think it had a blue-black hint to it. I'd love to get my hands on one of those! Congrats! ~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~

pugperson Fish Addict Posts: 877 Kudos: 953 Votes: 293 Registered: 16-May-2003	What a wonderful find! I think that there are beginning to be more and more of bettas with tails other than veil being sent to petstores and other places. I found two crowntails at Petco.
