The fish still look incredibly awesome, but I am a bit disappointed in the seller. He either doctors the picture used on aquabid or it was not a picture of the same fish. I understand color changes when a fish is stressed, but the body coloration even when the male is calm is nowhere near as black as the picture showed. I doubt if we buy from the gentleman again, but here are some pics. 
That's the male of course. Again, very beautiful fish, but not what was in the picture on the auction.
Female betta.
The male is a bit darker in the tank, he got more stressed than the female did when put in the isolation cup for the picture. |

Well good luck with that. Did you want me to send someone, that breeds them professionally where I live, your way so you can get some needed info?

Cool. I love Black Orchids, some of those on AB are so nice.
What was the sellers name?
I plan on buying some bettas and don't want a ripoff.

Jacko, I PMed the information you asked for to you. I believe it would be unprofessional of me as a moderator to post a name on the public forum space in that manner. Hope that is not an inconvenience.
Tom, Thanks a ton for the offer, but we've bred bettas in the past and have a pretty good handle on it. It would only waste your friend's time.
Everyone else, we will accept your compliments on the fish' behalf...  |

Sorry, I didn't know that you have bred bettas already.

i see what you mean, i was expecting they'd be a much deeper black but they are beautiful for sure. Hopefully they will darken at least a little bit more in time. i look forward to seeing the results of their 1st spawn.  |

OK, that female is beautiful. I'd have to set up a new tank if I saw one like that in the shop.
And the male is magic. Am more a female kind of gal, though.
