Seriously though, if you are looking for the perfect boy, let MM send you one of hers. Her babies are the healthiest, most personable bettas I have ever owned. Its well worth the extra cost. | |

| This has been the funniest thread! We all know it is just a matter of time before Ted caves in lol......
Tiger, you are more than welcome to use my photos as screen savers....Kate, marbles are few and far between.....Maybe one day I'll have one available for you.....Shawnie waited a long time for her 2 boys....
Now for all you Bettaholichs I want you to know I have 60 beauties jarred right now...Yes, shipping is expensive but think of the money you save on meds by buying a healthy bred fish...
OK, back to my corner now....I'll just wait for a PM from Ted....We all know it's coming lol | |

| Now now MM, you will have me scouring the UK for a quality betta breeder like you (prob not possible over here right enough) if you don't behave.
I will now have to stop reading this thread due to the thought of my still divided tank with an empty section available popping into my head every time I click. I can't justify another fish... | |

| Hey, this is to enable Ted! I shall declare myself immune and pretend it is already full-does anybody know how to carve a betta shape out of a carrot??
Ted, this is not an option for you, only the real mcCoy will calm you... | |

And if I don't get a betta there still a few "what's a Betta" members on the forum...check the latest poll!!!...lolol..but i want one....ahhh no I don't..dang who typed that on my message?? | |

Ted's a goner
I have to say I'd have one of MM's babies if I could afford the cross continental/border shipping... <sigh>
I'll just have to keep plotting a spawn of my own... maybe if I end up in a real house next year... | |

| Darn that I'm all the way over here in Australia, I can't get MMs bettas. Sob!
How I pick my bettas is strange though, I go by personality more than anything, & oddly enuf I avoid the big time aggressive ones. I don't like it if & when a fish flares at me, I want them to like me. I guess I'm weird? But I find them easier to work with, taming and training them if they like & trust you.
So you can't find your keys and have locked up your keyboard.
You could walk! Go to sleep, dream of bettas and you may find yourself sleep walking to a pet store and buying one! They call to you, they haunt you!
Here is a mantra for you: 'Buy A Betta and I'll feel better!' | |

| It's worth coming on here just to see the inspired pics that MM posts.
Oh, and eh, thanks Red, but look at this beauty, this wold be the fish I would get... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Male-Maroon-Wh...item3a5478b931
Hope it works, this guy is well worth a look. Although never seriously thought I would find fish on ebay... Anyway, for my next fish, I would like one that is a bit different from the norm, from a breeder (mainly cause MMs little boys and girls make me want quality fish). Now I shall have to go and make Mars and Neptune feel better after my slight denting of their fishy pride there!! | |
