Veiltails are lovable too.

Been a while since I made a blog post here. (been so busy (T^T) ) For this bloggie, I want to bring up the matter of veiltails not getting enough appreciation. I realize that there are literally of veils everywhere and you can probably get one for only a couple bucks. The bettas that are Halfmoons, Halfmoon Plakats and etc that are shipped from overseas are more much expensive but it doesn't mean that they should be valued in a owner's mind. I find it increasingly common for a individual to spend money on a impressive setup that is 5-10 gallon for a HM but make an minimal effort for a VT. Veils are the orignal bettas that created all other lines, yet they don't really have much attention from breeders that try to breed out bad genes, perfect a good line or even judged at IBC. I personally adore all of my veils, they were all feisty fish with great interactive personalities. Just a note for thought, maybe instead of getting a $35 Halfmoon, consider a $5 Veil instead. Remember, try not to buy supplies from pet store chains, while livestock make a min. of amount of profit, supplies make a lot of $$$. Finding a good petstore that takes the welfare of animals into account is your best bet!

Have you ever had a Veiltail?
