So, I may be starting to regret getting into eBay Bettas.... (There's a reason I don't go on AquaBid!)

I have 4 Betta I really like. All have their pros, all have their cons. Can you please spend minutes of your life helping me choose?

Here are the competitors:

PROS: Lovely finnage and colouring, 100% Feedback from seller.
CONS: Seller lists him as a Mustard gas, which he is clearly not.

PROS: Combination of 2 of my favourite colouring patterns, Only a few hours drive away, 100% seller feedback, cheap starting price.
CONS: Lots of people interested already!
PROS: Buy it now, Great colours, Good seller, Peaceful personality.
CONS: Singapore import - possibly an iridivious carrier even though it's a good seller.
PROS: Cheap starting price, Amazing colour/fin combo
CONS: Seller doesn't know much about Betta, not much info.

I kinda like the looks of the CT Blue the best...but maybe it's just because it's the best picture

I really like the color of the last one (CT Blue/Yellow). Unfortunately, the pictures were not really clear and I could not see much of it. Also, the fact that the owner doesn't know anything about Bettas is not a good sign.

I took it as a sign that he was in dire need of rescue

The one that was listed as a Mustard gas looks like it has a swollen area in the swim bladder area Hatchet. I would wonder if you would not be getting a fish with a problem to begin with take a good look at it again before you decide. I like both the other blue and white ones and the blue and yellow one looks nice and looks like he is in desperate need of someone to care for him as the person does not want him or know how to care for him. If it were me and I loved them all the same I would probably take pity on the blue and yellow one and give it a good home since that person does not want him and will not give it a good home.

I agree with Rose

Rose, I have never noticed that 'hump' on the CT male.
I think I've made my decision - the blue/yellow CT! I'll get my dad to put a snipe on him (A thing that puts your bid in in the last 7 seconds) for £13.21; they shouldn't know what's coming!

The only problem is, I'm on school camp on Monday the 7th - the day the boy would normally be posted. So, I might have to get my Betta posted on a different day - because I wouldn't be there to say hi to him and put him in his tank (He's going in a 3gal until I finish QTing the Apisto currently in his tank!)

Which ever you choose it will be happy I'm sure

I shall say many prayers for him and for you this week Hatchet and hope he arrives safely and that you have a wonderful time at camp.

did you see all the betta's that owner of the blue/yellow has? "see other items" all of them, except the babies and the blue/yellow one, look severely bloated..or is that what young betta's look like?

HatchetHaven

Well, I guess they just don't know how to care for them properly - all the more reason for a rescue!

Shawnie

for sure!!!!! did u notice it also?

Lucy

I would take the blue and yellow too..poor little guy. He's not wanted by his owner.
Would this person know the proper way to ship a betta if he doesn't even know how to care for one?
He needs your love Hatchet.

HatchetHaven

Well, I think he's dealt with online fish before - he probably knows how to ship them. I'm sure there are instructions on eBay, aren't there?
