So, today is the day. 'The day' being when a new member of the FL betta family arrives... A new CT boy! There's a pic taken by the seller of him hamming in my sig. I'll take some as soon as his light is on in the morning tomorrow. I can't wait!

Alessa

Keep us informed and we want a lot of pics

jdhef

Did you settle on a name yet?

Blub

No name decided yet Jdhef - he hasn't arrived yet and it is 5pm!

Good luck with him Hatchet!

Martinismommy

Did you get a tracking #? Usually Fedex or USPS deliveres before 3pm..

Blub

No idea! It's quarter to 6 now and he isn't here yet....

Martinismommy

If you bought him on e bay contact the seller and ask for a tracking #..It's possible he may not arrive today..At least if you can track him you'll know when to expect him...

Blub

I'll get dad to do that then if he doesn't get here soon... When dad's home!

Lonely Angel

If you're in a rural area it could take a day longer for him to arrive. That's what happened when I bought my bettas from ebay.

Congrats on your new boy and I hope you get him soon!

MissMTS

I am so excited for you Hatchet!!! I know how long you have been anticipating his arrival. I hope he arrives soon. I have had fish arrive as late as 7pm, so hopefully he will come soon

Devon

Wow he is a pretty boy! I can't wait to see proper photos of him.

I work for a warehouse that ships using UPS all the time (if this is the way he's coming to you.) In many areas they have as late as 7pm to make good on their guaranteed delivery date.

Lucy

I thought we decided on Fluffy.

MissMTS

Awww I think Fluffy is a great name for a betta

Devon

Fluffy was the name of my very first betta!!

Blub

Aww... I am so annoyed! Guess why he didn't come today? My dad had mixed the dates up and said he was to arrive 1 week from yesterday - not yesterday! Now I have to wait longer... I'll try get him by Saturday.

MissMTS

Awww Hatchet thats a bummer. At least he didn't get lost in the mail. That would have been awful. I'll be looking forward to hearing abou this arrival in a week!

Blub

I'm so glad he's not sitting around in some post office half way down the country!

MissMTS

Seriously! I have lost fish that way.

Blub

Ouch! Well, at least he is still in his tank... Even though the 7.5gal waiting for him is perfect...

Lucy

Oh, Hatchet, I'm sorry, the wait must be terrible!

Allie

I hate waiting. Can't wait to see your newbie.

shellbell4ever

Waiting is the hardest thing to do,but at least your tank will be ready when he arrives
Please keep us posted!!

mrsmuffin

I was just thinking about you and wondering if you had gotten him yet. Thanks for the update!

Martinismommy

I know you are excited to get your new boy......I'm happy you know now when the exact arrival date is so you can make sure and be there for the Fedex delivery....I'm super excited for you and can't wait to see photos of him when he finally comes home! Make sure you do a slow acclimation when he gets there.....
