That's from my tank. I bought 5 of them from the local breeder in Fremont. I kept a pair, my bro took a pair and another friend bought 1.

Coloring up nicely.

I got my little guy in yesterday! Seems to be doing alright so far. Naturally, I’ve been waiting months for one of these guys, finally can get one, and work sends me out on the road for a week without much warning.

Congrats! Make sure you feed it multiple times a day. Biota's website says they were fed on C1 and C2 pellet and Hikari Spirulina Brine Shrimp. I also soak my pellets with selcon and garlic extract for the first few weeks to fight off any chance of HLLE and ich.

I bought a comet aka marine betta from @Mr2KiEu’s local source yesterday. Tank-raised, small juvenile, so far looks great and healthy. I have him in the frag tank section of my sump where he is the only fish, to get used to things and get a bit bigger before going out into the display. I’ll post pics at some point but he’s been hiding.

I’ve never heard of Biota buying from other small-time breeders. Quite frankly pretty skeptical that that’s the case.

For the record, I now think I was totally wrong about this

Glad you were able to get one from him yesterday. Your Marine Betta should get nice and fat hunting for pods down in the sump.

He's great. Very smart guy. Hopefully his attempt at breeding Helfrichi and Purple firefish is a success as well.
