Well, I couldn't stand looking at an empty tank, and I don't want another petstore betta to break my heart.... so I hit up Aquabid and found someone cheap that wouldn't hurt the wallet too bad. So $20 gets me 5 of these lovely darlings (I think I'll be selling/giving away some of them though... I'll keep at least 1) They're green dragon halfmoon plakats, not sure what sex.
Aren't they just adorable? I've decided that the one I pick will be named зима, which is the Ukrainian word for winter (my bf lived in Ukraine for 2 years). It's pronounced zee-ma' or something like that. Lol.
зима can't replace my dear Winter, but I'm hoping that he/she can help heal my poor little heart....

They are adorable! Are they schooling fish? I have never heard of them. I am so sorry about Winter, but these should certainly should help! They just might steal your heart! Good Luck Puff.

Haha sorry. Plakats are the short-finned style of betta. Like Moby in my siggy
Thank you

Amanda

Very pretty girls! Who was the seller?

Bettasplendenic in MN. They're having a clearance sale on a whole bunch of bettas, so I can actually afford these ones!

MissMTS

They are darling Pink! When are you getting them? I am glad that you have found another betta to give a home to He/she won't replace Winter, but will still make you feel much better. I love the name

They are beautiful, but how do you say that name?

AquarAdvent

I'm so glad that you could find some beautiful new fish. Of course, they're not replacements, just more betta babies. That name is beautiful, and I hope he (or she) lives a long, healthy life.

They are very pretty!

Thank you very much!
My bf said it's pronounced zee-mah, emphasis on the a.

My auctions closed today! Woohoo! Seller hasn't contacted me yet though, so still not sure when they're being shipped. There was more room in the box, so naturally I had to fill that space.......... I got this cute little turquoise boy and his little girlfriend. My bf said he looked 'cute and droopy' lol. Reminds me of the way that Winter used to look when he was pouting.... And my bf has a spare 10g at his house that I'll probably be able to use, so that can be temporary housing for the green dragons, and then droopy and his gf can split the 5g.

TFA101

Wow! They're gorgeous!

Pink I never heard about Winter! I'm sorry

pinkfloydpuffer

Thanks both of you

Yeah, it was really sudden... I didn't notice anything wrong, and I came home to find him dead and in pieces It was heartbreaking.....

Martinismommy

He's a very nice boy Pink!

pinkfloydpuffer

Thanks MM! I am so excited I can hardly wait!

The worst thing about winning something on aquabid is that you have to wait for it to be shipped. I hate waiting in anticipation. I won 3 polkadot loaches and a black ghost, should be coming tomorrow or Thursday. I took tomorrow off work in my hopeful optimism that they’ll come tomorrow.

pinkfloydpuffer

They're due to arrive Saturday! I am so excited I can hardly stand it! I'm especially excited for Little Droopy lol. He looks like a sweetheart. <3
