Alright, let's admit it, we are all guilty of fantasy shopping on Aquabid (and sometimes even splurging!) I thought I would start a thread for people to show off their dream betta's, unusual colors, and exciting purchases!

Remmy wasn't actually Steel, he was turquoise like most of the other MG's :) That boy is a nice steel and a very nice split between his colors. Remmy's bled together after a while.

I don't think I'll ever find one exactly like him, but that boy is cute too

EDIT: just did a search on the Ship Right stuff, seems that it's a blue color much like Methylene Blue, not yellow.

Oooh, those are beautiful Aqua! I love the MG, he's a DeT though, he does split at the very end of his caudal (likely a VTxHM mix then) which no longer qualifies him as VT and puts him in the DeT category ^_^

That DT boy likely is healing for bitten fins, I've never seen birth defects that look like that, granted; anything is possible lol.

Oh gosh, that orange Monster boy you love is absolutely beautiful!!

And I don't see any photo manipulation on the last boy, that's all lighting and the yellow overlapping the copper.
 
#12,809 ·
Oh wow, didn't even notice that lol whoops. Looked so much like a male! At least from the first and third shot ^_^ Still gorgeous though
 
#12,816 ·
also wow the tags in this thread :rofl:

what no "need rich dead relative's inheritance"?
btw who's the white guy in the background of your gif, 'nother new boy?
 
#12,818 ·
yeah this shipment is 2 white hmpk and the yellow koi :)

oh glob the guy that's been flirting with me wants to buy one of the white plakats so we can be "fish twinsies." >_> I said he can only buy one if he studies and passes my fish care test.

"Sounds kinda fishy. Don't be Koi with me."

Someone save me. My response was Oh my Cod stop being silly
and that was five puns ago
 
#12,821 ·
So, here are my new babies:
Yellow koi boy-- needs a girlfriend, who might come from King betta.
White tancho boy has already managed to get through the divider into the red koi girl and build a humogous bubble nest and shred her fins. They are now in separate tanks.
The fancy boys and the silver boy come at the end of the month.
I couldn't resist the fancy girl.

So I think I am officially out of control!
 
#12,823 ·
So since we are certifiable here and we also have a dearth of females, here are some candidates--what do you think?
Possible cross for the yellow koi boy
http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?fwbettashmp&1433490207
Another possibility for the yellow koi boy
http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?fwbettashmp&1433728931
Third possibility for yellow koi boy
http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?fwbettashmp&1433835075

Possible females for the fancies
http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?fwbettashmp&1433862110
or
http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?fwbettashmp&1433301011

DEF #2 for the yellow koi.
And I'm back and forth for the fancies but i THINK i like #2 as well.
 
#12,827 ·
Crap crap crap crap crap!!

Phusit HAD to go and post this girl after I already bought his other yellow female!! Crap. She's PERFECT, EXACTLY what I was looking for.

Buy food for the week or buy this girl?
 
#12,829 ·
Eh, food is overrated.

Food will be gone in a few days--this girl will make you happy far longer than that.

Plus, there's always Ramen ;-)

Look at her dorsal--really like it.

She is quite similar to a stunning girl (Phusit has some treasures sometimes) I nearly bought a couple weeks or so ago, but decided to pass, since I already have an ElegantBetta girl who is very similar.

Sadly, that girl is now ill, very ill. I can't figure it out, no real symptoms except she's clearly trying to die. Sigh. She gets a bit better, then goes South again.

Sorry, didn't mean to lapse into a sad ramble, just saying, wish I'd bought that other girl now, Nature doesn't guarantee anything, and when I see a fish I like that much...well, I hate to end up regretting not buying.
 
#12,830 ·
Yeah, I lost two yellow dragons I got from Thailand last time. Two different sellers and two different ships. No reason, they just up and died. Hopefully this girl won't do the same.

I emailed phusit and he's allowing me to switch out the pineapple girl for that one and just pay the difference!!!! Yay I can eat too!!!

Trust me, I've been living off ramen lately lol!!!

I'm super psyched now!! The whole reason is that dorsal, that's exactly what my boy Alloy needs!!
 
#12,831 ·
That's so cool of Phusit.

I hope this girl doesn't up and die, too. She's gorgeous, and sassy and I really enjoy her, plus have plans for an F2 cross to a non-metallic son of this guy of mine:

 
#12,833 ·
#12,836 ·
I love that guys little derp face, from the top, the white with the patch of blue. If I'd seen him before anyone bid on him, I possibly would have auto bought him (since all that breeder's other fish I saw have an autobuy option, I'm assuming this one did too) he's got that fun coloring I enjoy. But man, I personally don't think he's even worth $50, for just him. I hope they realize he is a marble and could look totally different...
 
#12,838 ·
I imagine it's because they're overlooking his form because he's truly an Armageddon, with phenotype of both red and yellow on the same fish.

The trendy Holy Grail of the Betta breeders world right now, I guess.

<says the girl who admittedly has also been chasing red and yellow fish, but does not pay anything close to that money for what she finds>
