Recommended Bettas in the East?

[nkthen]

I have bought a couple of Betta and I realize this general rule...

Don't buy those cheap $1-$3 Bettas, they will die on you.

Not as active and the colors aren't nice.

Those in the $10+ range are good, the are still alive till now.

Now... I want to buy another new Betta, I was wondering if you know of any reputable shops in the East (ie. Bedok, Tampines, Pasir Ris, Loyang...) that sells good, healthy, nice looking Betta at a reasonable price?

i know one in tampines opposite temasek poly , cross a field the shops there. or you can get them from me my post is in the marketplace in this forum. but i only have HMPKs

i have to disagree with u on this point about cheap bettas.. it all depends on the conditions in which they were kept and how they were when u got them. have two that were bought at 2 bucks each.. one red cambodian HM and one bi colour (green body, red fins). though both are not show quaility with nice finage, still alive and well. the cambodian almost had him for 8 months liao, bicoloured one is around 4 months..in fact, managed to spawn my red cambodian with a female, fry already 7 weeks old. And no fry loss after 1st week to date..
but.. let me know if u find a place that sells at reasonable prices.. i still cannot bear to part with more than 20 bucks for a betta.. unless it really is extremely rare

I must quantify that I made a general statement. From what I know $1 or $2 Bettas are transported in bulk and quite clumsily. More expensive Bettas are transported in individual bags and with more care.

So the chances of the more expensive Bettas staying alive is higher. But then, that's from experience.

There are 2 shops opposite Temasek. Which one?

There are actually more than 2 LFS opposite Temasek Poly.

Go to the 2 that are at the same row. One of them is Golden Classic, can't remember the name of the other shop. Both have pretty decent speciments, think are descendants of some competition winning parentage.

Have you ever visited Pasir Ris fish farm 1?
There's a farm there called Yun Feng aquarium, not to be confused with the LFS also opposite Temasek Poly by the same name, the 2 are related but it is the one in Pasir Ris farmway 1 which you should visit if you're a betta fan, wall to wall filled with what you're looking for.

Finally, visit Roxy Square. Kelson's betta.

actually there are 3. i cant remember the name but yun feng is at the far left so the store is at the far right next to A1 bubble tea.
the uncle has won many awards for show and breeding bettas

Is it the one with a seamstress at the back of the shop?

Or is it the one that also sells 'BIG' fishes?
