 | That Is The Common Length For Pectoral Fins On Bettas? |
bettachris     Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004   | i have one betta that certainly surprised me, i just noticed that his pectoral fins are huge, they rech more than halfway down his body. He was a petstore betta, so maybe the breeding stock is longfinned or something, but on looking at my other bettas they are short and round, this fishes is long and it forms a point. |

I think you will find that most of the Betas sold at LFS are the rejects from big breeders yes some might slip through the system. The better quallity Bettas suitalbe for breeding would come via local breeders in Betta clubs. Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith  Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT?  VOTE NOW VOTE NOW |

It is a new thing, they started coming through here about 5 months ago. It is a big taboo for show quality fish, and you'd be marked down for that in an IBC show, so I suspect it is just a mutation of the VTs. As of yet, it hasn't shown up in HM or other show types that I am aware of. |
