Help Me Pick

[1fish2fish]

For background on why I'm looking for another female see the Memorials forum.

I refuse to go to the pet store to look for another female. I want to know the one I'm getting is healthy for two reasons
1. I don't need the heartache of getting another fish and having it die
2. I don't want to risk potential cross contaminiation

I also thought about just sticking with two girls but I like the idea of 3 girls (one is coming on monday) so I want another.

So I've found a bunch of females on aquabid that I'd like to get. I also have a second free option. I'm getting a female from a breeder on a separate forum sent to me on Monday. If I make my decision by tomorrow I could probably ask her to send me another if she still has some left. I trust her to pick me a gorgeous girl to go with my other one.

So here are the females I liked. Of course my first choice would be the Martinismommy one but she has a bid in on her already and for a non-breeding pet I don't want to get into a bidding war.

These are arranged by the ones I like best. I'm too lazy to pull the pics so I'm just posting the links.

So thoughts? Any favorites?

Here's the vid with the girl I'm getting on Monday in it. As you can see lots of pretty colors. Lets call this option #5.

I like number two best, and also number one.

They're all really pretty! My first choice, like yours, would be Karen's female. But if you don't want to get into a bidding war my second choice would be girl #2. I love her colors and fins.I know you want a pet but heck, she might be a good female to breed if you get back into it again. But yeah girl #2 would be my pick if you don't want a bidding war. :)

I think it'd be cool to see #4's marbling! The other girls have set colors... Where as 4 is mysterious lol. Of course I'd prob pick the mystery box over the car any day :P

[1fish2fish]

My other mystery box option would be #5 (that spawn has marble in it too). There was a sister of #4 that I liked better but she sold.

[monroe0704]

Ahhh lol I was lazy and didn't pull up the video :/ I change vote to any marble in the line up then lol

ugh. i adore the Copper DT and the last girl, the creamy black spotted cello girl. ;A;

[1fish2fish]

No one seems to like the DT girl so far. I think she's cute but her colors... I dunno they're sort of "meh" to me. But I guess she could be prettier in person.

I like #3! I love steel on red combos.

I also favor Karen's fish... but I had seen #2 before and really liked her.
As Beat2020 said, you won't have to hunt for a female if you decide to breed again!
