Yes... the shipping costs from the transhipper to you are most efficiently divided if you have 6-8 fish in a box!
Hehe

How many are you getting? Some people probably will give you a deal if you get a few from the same seller. |

I can only get one, and I am going to be in big trouble with the boyfriend when I do, LOL... we're moving this weekend, and he keeps saying, "Babe, can you PLEASE wait to buy more fish until we're finished moving? Don't you have enough bettas? Blahblahblahblahblah--" (stopped listening there)... that's what's making this such a hard choice!!

I mostly use storage bins actually, from 2-5 gallons for the adults, and 1/2 - 1 gallon for juvies. They're cheap! And light, and come with lids... that way I can just carry them down to the sink to change water, etc. I had more in tanks back home, but couldn't fit them all in the car to move, so they started out in juvie jars here and I've been slowly upgrading them to the storage bins. For filters, I just have a few air pumps and run sponge filters off them. Going to have to work something out for heating as winter comes... I had my room heated back home since I like around the same temps as the fishes (I"m cold blooded or something), but it's a much older place here and I think the heating's going to be bad.

Well, if you're moving this weekend, they won't be shipped till next week... so technically you'll have 'gotten' them after you moved  |

Allie I'm the same way...I have to watch them and watch them before they win my heart...I have more fun picking out Bettas than clothes shopping! There is something wrong with us for sure lol
Now here is the breaking news of the week! Don't ever allow the husband to buy you a fish when you are sad...You all know what's going on here with Anberlin moving...Well Steve decided last Friday that I had been so sad that the only thing he knew to do was surprise me with another Betta!!!!!!!!! He bought a cute little tank and everything...He left with Annie and they surprised me with the biggest surprise of my life! The ugliest Betta in the world! lol When he walked in with the cup in Annies hands I got excited...And then I saw him! lololololol...I had to pretend to be happy but I wasn't lol...I thought oh geeeze this ugly buggar will probably live 10 years!
OK, back to Betta shopping lol

I actually hate to admit this, but I looove veiltails... they are raggedy little fish that act like prizewinning crownies... at least, Bowie, Shandy & Tang are.
I want to see photos of your ugly new betta!!!!  |
