He is a bit unique and comes from Miami Aquariums, of course and I hope that this is not going to jinx me but I think this is the one who will be the namesake of Alexander. He is different, just as Marty's namesake was different from him. I think this makes it a little easier on my heart and with the way my fish have been acting I do not want to confuse them.

I won the auction about an hour ago after 15 bids on him brought the price up a bit but I guess when you are in love .... Anyway, AJ is now bought and paid for and may even be here by the end of the week. I spent my whole day cleaning tanks completely from the upside down and inside out. Gravel to impeller care complete and decor scrubbing done in all but one tank and I will do it tomorrow. Boy am I tired. I will be sure and try to get some really good pictures of the new little one when he gets settled in but my pictures have been kind of poor lately. Maybe I have a lens problem or maybe it is me.

15 bids!!!! Wow, how much was he in the end? Was this at aquabid? He's really beautiful. What kind of a betta is he? Crowntail? Halfmoon? I'm not good with bettas...

Rose, AJ certanly is a keeper!! Sounds like besides costing you ( well, love is love!!..LOL ), he also made some extra work for you. I am sure looking forward to seeing your new guy....take care of yourself, and don't overdo things!! Val & menagerie

Congrats on finding AJ Rose! He's a handsome guy! Angel is quite interested.

I know I am over the cuckoo's nest but I paid $62.04 plus $27.00 shipping and handling for this little guy. He is a copper/pink butterfly with a few dalmation spots and actually looks more mint green with pink so I could not help myself. I have not ever spent so much on a betta and if it was coming from any other place I would not ever have thought of it but since he is a Miami Aquariums fish I know he will be healthy.

Funny thing is he was at $41.00 until the last 1 minute and then a new bidder came on and really drove the price up fast. YIPES!

He was on eBay and that is the only place I will buy bettas as Miami Aquariums put their best fish on eBay.

WOW! I guess you really wanted him!

I hope you really enjoy him, I am sure that you will, he is gorgeous. Brianna

whoa! yea, when he gets there, let him know how much he cost and he'll have a major ego trip!

nmwierman1977

I'm so glad you won. I hate those people that do those last second bids. They have to ruin everything and make you pay more. At least you won though. Can't wait to see his pics when you get him. Nat

COBettaCouple

yea.. those people are white & nerdy! hey.. i'm white & nerdy! but i'm not a ebay sniper.

nmwierman1977

LOL, Dave. I'm glad your not one of them. Nat

COBettaCouple

but you are glad i'm white & nerdy, right?

Asinity

Hey, I'm one of those last second snipers, lol. When you want something bad, you've gotta do it!

He's a gorgeous betta Rose, can't wait to see some more pics.

I would have forgiven any of you of course but I did have my maximum bid set much higher than that so I did not have to worry too much. When I want a fish, I want it and I do usually go after it with every thing I own. I may not eat for a month but I will have the fish. There is something about losing a fish you have fallen in love with that just makes the whole thing worse and I do not do that lightly.

Snipers Beware, when you see my name there you best be prepared to bid to the max. !!!!!!
