best way to play with the dal gene, is to make sure neither fish has red in the fins, except the dal. x3 i'm planning on breeding orange dals myself. :d
Thinking of buying one of her giants... not sure if I want to spend that much on a fish though. I really wanted that DT but couldn't afford $30 for an unproven fish.... oh well.. at least he's staying in the "family".
I actually wasn't going to spend that much though either... but I had just gotten a refund from her because one of my express shippings didn't make it on time. Soooo I didn't have to pay any additional money! Haha. Sorry I stole him 1fish! :O I hate doing that...
I have been really wanting one but I probably can't convince my husband. I am not allowed to buy more bettas. Cichlids he is ok with but not anymore bettas!
OK, this is where I need help from you guys. I have already noticed that with the free priority these fish are at or below the total I would expect to pay from other shippers. All I have for tank space right now is an empty, unheated 1.5g that I plan to use for temporary housing during water changes, QT tank, etc.
So, I need you folks to either lie to me and tell me this is the worst seller on AB, convince me that I would be wasting my money and innocent fishes' lives because our overnight lows are still around 30 degrees and they would never make it through shipping, or assure me that such great fish are available all the time, so I can look and not worry about missing out on a great deal.
I am nowhere near ready to breed, so I don't want to waste good breeding stock. I just want a companion for my desk. But boy are these tempting...
They'll be available for a while. Get your tank properly set up and then get your fish. That's my opinion.
Monroe.. don't feel bad.. it was highly unlikely I was going to get him, as much as I wanted him. I don't have ANY space for more fish right now and I'll probably be coming back from the FCB show with bucket loads here in a little over a month. I'm trying to stay off AB but resistance is proving futile.
As much as another betta would be fun, I think I'm at my stopping point for now. Before I get ANY more fish, I want to be sure Revenant will be okay. (A little more than a week later and he still isn't acting right.)
Plus I has no job anymore. D';
So no moneys for new tank and fish. :'D
LOL I knew I'd create problems by posting the link I went on AB after a 2 week sober period!!!
I wasn't going to get any more, but after deciding to be charitable, I am parting with some of my HMPKs for a member that wanted to start breeding. I enjoy giving to those that deserve some fish.. especially since I'm blessed with a great flow of assets... soooo I decided to fill just one of the spots lol
Oh I am sooo tempted by this little double tail! My mom would be disappointed though, I promised her my next betta will be something colorful, since she always complains about my "boring" (not boring!) bettas. But that "panda" is making it hard. And he would match my cories! :lol:

She says I always go for boring colors like "brown" (copper! NOT boring!) and "white" (both of my cellophanes turned marble so I don't get how they're boring at all either)...I told her she should get a betta for herself if she wants something more jewel-tone!
Oh he's seriously tempting...and hmdbt is my favorite tail type....But I've also had my eye on a black orchid (I guess that would be boring too ) at the lfs....decisions decisions!
I would be a little worried about priority shipping, especially since I'd be spending $30 on a fish with no DOA guarantee, but Georgia to St. Louis probably isn't that far of a trip....Oh I don't know what to do. Curse you for posting this monroe!
