Thanks Ravenwinds! I'm not sure which i like better of those 2-and I ALWAYS look at the offerings from Majcha!! Always unusual and stunning fish. one of these days - after I get a little room here - I will get one. Maybe I will win the contest if it ever takes off!!

Contest?

This girl reminds me of my roommate's wal-mart save. If you can just imagine the body being completely black and light blueish dragon scaling then you've got her.

Advice/opinion on this male?

He is listed and a black/copper marble HMPK by 3dbetta

Never bought from AQUABID, what's the typical transhipper fees?

the guy i bought Jack Skellington from has several available right now who look VERY similar to him, and they're located domestically, so there'd be no need for transhippers. here are his auctions: http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/aucti...ller&Troyc2010

Kaden also has another thread where you can donate. The contest cannot take place until donations meet the amount of a fish from Thailand!

This is the donation thread, which seems to be stalled right now. there is about 30$ donated so far I think they wanted closer to 80

$80 might not be worth it: $20-30 for Thai fish, $5 to send it to your transhipper in USA, and I believe import fees per fish are under $10...so a total of $45 average for fish to get to USA! Most transhippers don't charge much of (if any) a fee for their time....which means that the $30 or less for Express Mail is a constant! You are gonna have to pay it even if your betta is domestic...don't know if Laden's contest includes shipping right to your door...if it does, then it might be worth it to donate$ and enter contest! If it doesn't, it is not worth it!

[rosy delta]

oh yes. You get a free fish. everything paid. I'm only thinking they wanted 80$ may have been less for the contest to be a go. they were thinking a 30$ fish, and all other expenses. any left over money was going to go to the next contest.

Well that sounds better...guess I will have to check it out :)
