giantg Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Because its an albino. Very rare in Bettas A bit like artwork I guess. You have to know a bit about it to appreciate the expensive stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthom211 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Why so expensive? Sometimes breeders put crazy prices on their fish as well so people go to look at the add and the breeder becomes more well known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieDIYFK Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 I had a pure black one I bought for $4.50 at my lfs I should have put it on there for $4k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch86 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Artwork that last 3years? Worst investment ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISSY Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Artwork that last 3years? Worst investment ever. Or less lol. But some fish are worth big coin because they are rare, high demand and low supply. If you breed them and people want to buy them, it is worth it.

leah Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Score a sibling female with it, breed like crazy, fingers crossed they breed some albino's, sell hardcore, make some big money.. nice investment if done well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saffa Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 n I had a pure black one I bought for $4.50 at my lfs I should have put it on there for $4k Bought the best of show Pure Black Halmoon Plakat from the International Betta Congress show in 2012. He was only $50 so I wouldnt count on getting $4k. You have to have something that is fairly rare. But most Betta fish fetch more than your run of the mill african cichlid.

Saffa Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Yeah saw this one on aquabid. They also have a SUPER YELLOW RED EYES plakat for same price ATM Playboybetta is a very well known breeder and usually has good quality betta at reasonable money ($15 - $35 USD). They Specializes in Plakat mainly and bloody nice ones at that. Anyone who knows anything about the actual genetics of these fish would appreciate the rarity and beauty in this mutation ..... Albino or red eyes are not easy and usually very weak recessive mutation in any species. The albino gene in betta is extremely rare and only offered for sale once in a bluemoon and the yellow red eyed one would be my pick out of the two ....... HMMMM wonder does Playboybetta have a sibling female ??? Well done PLAYBOYBETTA ........ Love the yellow red eyed plakat male http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?fwbettashmp&1372188606 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litigator666 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 browsing on this section and didn't realised these small fish are worth a lot. All the while I was thinking "fish fight gambling" is where the money is. Might need to rethink my plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
