I've been a bad person (husband will kill me) i just had to bid on a betta and i won.

Hes a stunning yellow pastel crowntail, off aquabid - not from thailand!!! (i know not rescuing those doomed in cups). Hope i dont hurt my current bettas feelings (he was a cup rescue)! Only question just sold my 10g only other tank for him (shuffling fish around) is a 55g to himself, is this to much space for him?, hmmm note to self buy tank divider!

I just cant wait til he arrives, will post pics of him as soon as he arrives!!

Please have another betta of the month next month! I've already voted on my favourite.

Start thinking of names for him, i'm useless at naming fish.

Oh he is a handsome little man! Congratulations!

Amanda

wow, beautiful fish! I would love to order fish off aquabid - I just can't afford shipping.

That 55gal would be a real haven for him! Karen's (Martinismomey) boy Will was in a 55gal at some point (Or is he still in there? It's hard to keep track of all those Bettas Karen!) and he was really happy.

Annadvn

I can afford shipping as my friend ordered a betta from the same person, so we are combining shipping as we only live 90miles from each other!

I cant wait for him to come, just need a name!

Nice color fella. Call him Apollo...as in the sun god. Or King, since he is gold like a crown.

I think other people were having some trouble from a guy in thailand that was selling bettas.

Annadvn

I made sure the seller was from America.

I would never, after reading so many posts, buy a fish directly from Thailand.

I think apollo or king sound good as he is a crowntail will see his temperment when he arrives.

I do have Will in a 55 gallon...He's been in there all his life...He lives alone...I'm not sure about the dividers for the 55 gallons...I looked at some and the looked flimsy to me...I'd love to hear if you find one that is stable..

I don't think they can ever have too much space. Congrats on him!

jdhef

Congratulations! He is beatiful.

He's gorgeous, and I love the name Apollo, suggested by Allie!

Blub

I think Apollo suits him! He is so lovely!

Hi Karen
I have a divider for my 55g tank. I bought it at Petsmart. Its not flimsy and has worked great when I needed it. I cant remember the brand name tho.
But next time I'm in petsmart I will check it out for you.

welshalien

what a great looking little guy!

I vote for Apollo for the name too!

Wow, he's a beautiful fish, congratulations!

Darlene

Congratulations, he is a beautiful fish for sure. I also like the name Apollo...since we have an apollo, but he is a bolivian ram. My hubby and I have taken to naming our newer fish after greek gods

rifter098

he is gorgeous!!! any betta that has a 55gal to himself is prob one of the happiest bettas ever lol
i also agree with apollo, it fits him well
has he been shipped yet? i bet u are dying from suspense lol

Annadvn

He should be arriving on the 26th,

Why the long wait, man doesnt accept paypal on cheques!!

but yes i can wait, getting his tank sorted.

Anna

Annadvn

Oh, and husband went mad, hes making me sell my 90gal to cover the costs!!

So anyone local to central missouri looking for a fully cycled 90g let me know.

Anna

rifter098

uh oh...somebody got in trouble
u could always keep the new guy in the 90gal. that way u can have both! ha

Darlene

I wish we were in Missouri now, and settled I would take it. Maybe your hubby will change is mind...I'm sorry you have to get rid of your tank.
