hey guys

I am sure you have seen some of my pics. I love taking fish pics and letely I am REALLY into shooting some bettas. Which gave me an idea. I have big problems finding good bettas, and also, I dont have a great way to keep good quantity of them. So I am looking for the "non regular expletivety LFS bettas". Help me out.

You can either:
a. Trade me a good betta for lots of pics of it and your other bettas (with reason)
b. Bring me your fish for a day or two to let me take pics
c. Give me a name of a good place to buy 'em. I would rather not, but will if I have to, to get good pics.
d. tell me how to keep 'em right. I saw those 4 divider tanks, but the dividers are clear and I dont want to have to cut custom "black" dividers. Give me ideas.

Here is a sample of my stuff:

i kno what your tryin to get there..like rent a betta.. ))))` ..what type of betta are you looking for???CT??DT??HM??etc??..well i cant help yeah out on this one...not in your area..but good luck on finding a betta and if you do ..gotta share some pics for sure

Where are you located? I have a friend that owns a pet store and he gets in some super nice quality crowntails and halfmoons. His shop is located in San Diego CA.

wow really. i'd like to see these bettas of his. does anyone else know any place in LA county that sells nice crowntails ?? thanks....

man thats one of the best pics of a CT I've ever seen. I have a nice steel blue who's fin hasnt curled form age..but too far away hehe. Your best bet is to see if u can ask our resident betta breeder, buddahorn, if he has any nice ones he wants to part wit.

thanks, etek, b-horn did indeed contact me, but I am not that interested in buying them (no room to keep them). I am more interested in "borrowing" them for photography, with the benefit to the person of getting good pics of his fish (if that is important ).

BTW, I got this crowntail at a shop for $5.99. They have more always. The most expensive bettas they have are like $9.99, forgot the name
The place is a tiny shop on Van Nuys blvd, between Sherman Way and Roscoe. This asian lady and her son own it. The place itself is kind of mediocre, but they have nice bettas and a really cool Short body FH that I have been trying to get from them for a year now, but she wants ridiculous money for him and will not budge.

How about you come to hawaii and photograph mine. I'll even let you stay in the guest bedroom so save on hotel costs
As a matter of fact, I'll let you photograph ALL my fish!

Hmmm.....
