Thanks!!!

absolutely gorgeous, the best betta i have ever seen.

There's a ton of them on that site, but you picked a beauty! Are ya gonna do it?

oh my gosh Nickie!! he is absolutely jaw dropping!! gorgeous! i say go for that guy, wow

have you found out about the shipping Nickie? i was thinking of getting a betta myself, possibly one from that breeder, but i'm worried about that the shipping might make it out of my price range

I was thinking of e-mail Vinetta and asking her what the total shipping would be before I bid on it. She has a nice orange one, too, that is simply beautiful! I will post the link to him, too.

Here he is...

those defianently r gorgeous!!!! But wouldnt u rather rescue a betta from a dreaded cup from pet***smart?

Like I said before, usually those poor bettas are beyond saving w/out meds. I don't have the money for a lot of meds right now. I would love to save a betta from a cup, but would also like a betta that is healthy and will actually live for me. I have so much going on with trying to cycle my big tank, my kids, this new house, money issues...I don't think I could handle a sick fish that needs attention all the time, too. Then, it will prolly die and I am left w/out a betta. However, JUST FOR YOU, SHAMU, I will rescue a betta instead of ordering one. But only because I love you!!! LOL!!!

However, remember this, as long as we keep BUYING those bettas in the dredded cups, they will keep selling them in those cups!!!

They are all so beautiful!

i am drooling (*wiping drool off keyboard as we speak*) over these three

Yeah what's the deal with that. I never paid much attention to Bettas and I don't know much about them but why are they sold in cups? It seems incredibly cruel.

:drool Gosh! They look darn good! I like the blue one the pattern o nthe tail and fin and everything is just amazing!



They sells it in little cups, just 2 reason, because they can survive in a small space. Yes it's cruel, they can survive yes, but they dont like it, they have to fight to survive, 2nd reason is because these are fighting fish, keeping together will end up making them fight and of course they are not going to have 50 tanks for 50 bettas.
So the poor fish have to suffer. What i find cruel is sometiem people diliver these fishes in tiny bag, they can survive in small space deosn't mean they like it. We can alway trap someone in a stinky smelly toilet, they wont die right away but they wotn like it and end up getting sick and well..then die i guess.

Those are gorgeous!!!! I love the second one! The last one is such a vibrant red!!! You know, An, I checked this lady's reviews and she has NEVER had one bad review from her customers!!!




I have no idea, Fumi, but it is cruel. I would rather buy from a reputable breeder than to put more money into a company like Pet*Smart for one when all they are gonna do is keep selling them in those cups; prolly buy more with the money I pay for one!!!

It's not just Wally & Petty that sells them like that. The LFS sells them in cups too!

Yeah, I know. It is so sad!!!

Wow..buy him..please for me...

now in my local pet**smart, i'm starting to see these little betta containers they put into the fish tanks, they put them in long rows. Atleast the bettas can get a little air and filtration now


awww, i wanna order a betta!!

Me, too, An! However, as this lady always has bettas for sale on Aqua Bid, I will always have a chance to get one some day.

yup! i guess there will always be a chance

but they all seem so, so.... perfect , lol

they are both beautiful i prefer the first one though the green really pops

Yes, I like the metallic color of the green. My hubby actually picked that first one out! LOL! He does have great taste when it comes to choosing fish!!!

yes thats true but they'll get more bettas anyway, and lots get better with god water quality

Hmm... I don't think these bettas are always "usually... beyond saving without meds." It all depends on the store. The petstore chains where I live actually take good care of their bettas, well, as good as they can in their small containers before someone buys them to give them, hopefully, a larger home. The water is always amazingly clear and the bettas are very healthy looking (unlike Wallyworld, where about one quarter of the bettas were dead and the rest in filthy water and with shredded fins or just generally looking ill). I've bought many bettas from the pet chains and none of them have needed meds until years later when their age made them more susceptible to illness. There are a lot of beautiful bettas out there!

Stunning betta

There may be a lot of nice bettas in the local pet shops near you, MsAmpersand, but there aren't near me.

wow.... a stunning betta like that was sold off for only $10.00?

EDIT:
Okay, just realized no one actually bid on it. haha... my bad.

such a shame though... why did the seller pull it out of the auction?

Ok i missed they hype! DARN!!! i wanted to see this pretty betta! DARN IT DARN IT DARN IT

The auction only runs a certain amount of days and then it ends.


Oh, Hon, Vennetta has fish for sale from her place all the time. Just look for the username "NiceFish" in the seller when you are looking at the bettas. She always has stunning fish!!! Many of them!

hey thanks! never went to the auction sites...now i know!!! really cool!

Hes a cutie

They are both cuties. If you are not going to breed them and only keep as pets I like both. But there are tail faults in both fish that is probably why they have not gone up in price.But if you are just keeping him for a pet that should not matter. you may want to make sure you buy your fish off there from a U. S. breeder. The ones from the fareast are great but you have to pay to have it shipped to a transhipper her in the states first and then to you ( costs extra that way) . sometimes breeders will throw in a free fish when you purchase one as a surprise
