A little history: I had a $50 credit with a Thai breeder, and it's been burning a hole in my pocket. I kind of wanted to wait to see if they were going to post 100% giants for auction, but I have never seen anything better than 1/2 giants from this breeder.
So, I have a copper HM female that I have tried to spawn once, but I screwed up the spawn, and now my daughter has killed the melano PK male that I had bred her with. I figured that I need to get on with my breeding, etc. So, I figured that I really do like the coppers (it's a close favorite of mine with red dragons and blue masks), and I really like the blue masks. I have a female blue mask PK as well.
I've been waiting about 2 months for the seller to post some bettas that I really like and can work with. So...these are the two that I won yesterday morning:

And here is the second one that I won yesterday morning:

And here is the one that I won this morning:

Was just wondering... Can we use that as a serious defence, you know, with the SO in our lives... Not that I have one, but still, it is a need to know for future reference, lol.

WOW WOW!!! :lolo:
I have cuffed my fingers from aquabid now. LOL But I did bidded on a flowerhorn two weeks ago and he is in USA now. LOL P:DE

LOL Thank you everyone!
I'm telling ya, I was forced into bidding! You see, there was this strange image that came onto the monitor, and it hypnotized me into placing THREE bids!!! It was unbelievable!!!! LOL
The first 2 were only $17 EACH, and the third one was $20! So, I'll only have to pay $4 for the bettas, plus $5 each to get them out of Thailand and into the States. That only $19!!!!!! I'm excited NOW, but when it comes time to pay the transshipper...ack!!!!! I'll be hating life!!! LOL
like you yeev, it'll be a loooooooooooooong time before I can get any more bettas from aquabid (notice I only said "bettas"lol). If I can find a REALLY AWESOME 100% giant and starve my family for a week, then MAYBE! LOL I may just have to get me some imbellis and make my own giants! LOL

Yeah! I just paid 59.00 just for the usps express shipping in USA for that one 4 inches flowerhorn!!! Rediculous!!!! <_<

WOW i could never spend THAT much on bettas well maybe i could :blink:

It is never the cost of the fish alone, the transhipping costs are the killers.
For example, Sec Rev, the brother to Revo (Forever Flare) only cost 25 dollars, because he was chewed from the spawning tank, but the shipping was 35 for the one fish.
If I could have afford it, I would have bought more fish, just to offset the cost of the shipping.
60 bucks for one fish is crazy, but what can I say???
I NEEDED him, lol.

I guess I'm just cheap, but I can't bring myself to pay for a fish and then pay a lot more just to ship him. That's why most of my fishies are from Yeevs!! Awesome fishies, cheaper shipping. :OO

Gotta agree with that. :flower :OO

Ooo lala! The finnage on the last one is the best I think, but I'm a sucker for coppers :P

LaBella - August 20, 2006 07:52 AM (GMT)
So true.
I have some breedings in the works that might give me purples, but SHHHHH don't tell anyone.
