    Finally got a better pic of my Yellow Plakat:

    And his home (shares with 4 x Shrimp and 2 x Gobies):

    I have also purchased another red Crowntail from my local Maidenhead Aquatics (where TADL works) - very pleased with him thus far, bit shy but seems happy enough - chills out under the salvinia (thanks big lad!) or on my vallis:

    And an FTS of his home:

    Planning an upgrade to a slightly larger tank soon, just need to find the time to do it more than anything else!

    Not a clue tbh Kel - bought 'it' and my blue one bagged from a local store (Angel Aquatics - Selly Oak) - the blue one has a very round belly - could be females I guess!

    it's got more of a male outline and a pretty long tail but egg spot is pretty protuded

    might be worth holding a mirror up to it, see how it reacts... very pretty though either way

    Yeah the yellow betta looks female. Tail looks like a VT...but don't take my word for it, i don't see many VT girls...just boy's.

    Haych is good at spotting the VT's. Maybe she'll come along and tell me for sure!

    Still a lovely lil betta. Love the red CT...solid colours are my favourite. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

    gorgeous colour and pretty either way

    Ha no way, drive past there every day to work and back! You'd be amazed at how different it all is with all the new roads for the new QE! Be mad when the triangle gets demolished!

    TADL works at the Maidenhead Aquatics store in Wythall/Earlswood... well I say work: more like abuses me then leaves me in the pond section with a net!

    Well if you would like one there are two in the same colour still at TADL's shop! Sit in tanks next to each other and have the odd flare off - lovely lovely fish though! Smile
