  • How hard is it to find a black betta locally?

    I'm just curious. I've never seen one locally but I haven't really looked. Seems like it would be cool to have a solid black one. The ones on aquabid are all from overseas and cost a pretty penny.

    The Melano black are some of the more common that I see when they do pop up.

        seeing as though females are infertile and the males are breeder rejects, usually $5-15

              Why are the females infertile? Genetics/breeding? Thanks.

                Solid black would be pretty cool.

                Would like to know who the local breeder is.

                Have kind of been looking for a cool betta for awhile now.
