Bettas For Adoption

I have two betta fish up for adoption, and I plan on keeping this betta adoption program going. One of them is my betta Coco. I have a betta breeding program, and all my bettas are currently in it. I don't have room or a want for any extra bettas. Coco can't be in my breeding program because his fins are way too large and he has trouble swimming. There is no way I would breed him. I bought him before I planned on breeding bettas. Coco is turquoise/ royal blue, he is sometimes lighter and striped when he is stressed. He has spots on his fins. He has the markings of a butterfly betta, but he isn't one because he doesn't have translucent fins. The bottom of his head is silver and he has blue and brown eyes. Coco is a special needs betta because of his large fins. He needs a filter with only a soft flow as well as floating plants to lay and hide in to rest. Bettas need at least 3 gallons of water to swim in so a 5 gallon tank would be good. He is pretty active, but does lay down on the sand sometimes, don't worry, he's not sick, just resting. He would do best without another betta to bother him, so I don't think a divided tank would work for him. I feel like he might feel extra threatened since he has trouble swimming.
The second betta up for adoption is Legend. He is a dragon scale (Steel) super delta butterfly male. Like Coco he has spots on his fins and he is a rather pretty fish. Legend is very aggressive so I don't think he would do well in a community tank. Unlike Coco, this boy is perfectly fine. I just can't keep him because I am breeding half moon males, not super delta males. I mistook him for a half moon at the pet store.
Both of these boys deserve amazing homes. Both need at least 3 gallons of water and a filter and heater. I would also recommend live plants in their tank with sand as the substrate. The boys are $10 a piece, both are normally $15 at Petco.

Thanks and I have some bad/good news. Ive had an argument with my parents and now need to give away most of my bettas!! Yay!, of course I am joking about the yay. I am probably going to go back to raising swordtails. So now I have 8 bettas available. They are Mac, a gorgeous butterfly triple tail with a red mask and a white chest (Probably the most gorgeous of all of mine) and he's also a half-moon. Then there is Chief, a black half-moon double tail butterfly (Black fins with red near the base) male who has turquoise spots and stripes through his fins and body.
The females are Pip, a gorgeous butterfly crown tail girl, royal blue with a white extended mask and red cheeks. (Butterfly because she has white tips to her fins) Then there is Squeak, a white girl, not pure white, somewhere between cellophane and white with a purplish blue and red tail. Then there is Lacey, a turquoise girl with a Steel mask. Finally, there is Grace, she may be a koi because of the spotting on her tail, which looks a lot like that of a koi betta. She looks just like Squeak but has a red and white tail. All the girls are crown tails, and all the boys except for Legend are Half Moons.
I am keeping two or three of my bettas, right now I just think I'm keeping Frosty and Fancy, one of my pairs, incase I decide to breed on a smaller scale. They are both cellophane bettas. Definitely not for sale. Cellophanes are my favorite, plus I just love Frosty, and Fancy was always my favorite out of all the girls with her black blue and grey eyes. They are currently living in my 16 gallon, which is divided into two sections. I could divide it into three and keep Mac, he's the only one I am partial about keeping. He was my second of these bettas (Frosty was my first) and triple tails are so rare. I want $15 for him.
Prices:
The females are $6.00 a piece
Legend: $10
Coco: $8, since he's kind of handicapped
Mac: $15
Chief: $10
I would prefer not to ship, and to give them away to people in CT, Southwestern Mass, or NYC, since I'm not too far from either of those. If you live in one of these areas, you are welcome to purchase any of my fish.
To tell the truth I don't know how this will work out because my mom doesn't want me selling fish from the house, but I just like to do my own thing so... But if you really want one of these bettas I can do some convincing and try to find a way to get you them. Thanks,
Drizy

I know the thread is kind of old, but are you still looking to rehome any of the fish?

No. I ended up keeping them. Quite a few of them died though. I do not know why. My water was perfect.
