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!
I love looking at the aquabid fish! I wouldn't ship right now, though. I bought some gammarus shrimp, and the 2-day shipping has turned into a week, and it still hasn't reached my state! Not the seller's fault, but I'm not happy with USPS right now.
Oh man, that's a beauty! Chard usually has some great fish for great prices up! He lurks around here occasionally too ^_^
I'm a sucker for solid reds with some dragon-like thick scales scatter on the body like that boy. That said, I'm a sucker for Betta's in general :roll: lol!
I'm disappointed in the shipping right now. The seller shipped 2 day priority mail (which I can see on the tracking), and it took 9 days to arrive. I know some of it is just holiday problems, but it's way to slow for live animals!
That said, all I bought was live food, and half of it seemed to still be alive even in a cold box left on my porch (another dislike with the shipping!).
Aqua Aurora and DangerousAngel, I get fish from EnvyAquatics and thats who I only deal with now. he is super nice, great packing and all my fish are super healthy! I almost got that copper from him, but I'm not a fan of his dorsal, so I can't use him
I won't buy from envy aquatics, they've tried to sell diamond eye bettas (condition that makes them blind from scales growing over the eyes) as a desirable trait and not a blind pet (that need special care for feeding and tank).
I have heard that too. I have had a brief conversation with the guy and he said had a business partner that he recently let go so I think a lot of the bad fish may have been the partner? The last few months everything has been seemly to go pretty smooth lol I guess ya never know! Another seller is seeking a very badly diamond eyed fish for two month now and want $68 for it!! Ahhhhhhh
Hey guys I have a question. How do you check a seller's reputation through AquaBid and eBay? I mean, I can obviously check out their reviews, but I feel like I should know a lot more than that. Is there like a profile page of theirs I can read? One where they tell people a little bit about themselves, when did they start getting into the hobby, how much experience they've had, bla bla bla? Because THAT is what I wanna read. Thanks and sorry if this is a redundant question! I didn't check the previous pages...

I have gotten fish from eBayer's with 100% feedback and still wasn't happy So i keep a mental note in my head on who not to buy from anymore. And of course it could have just been a once in a blue moon kind of thing that my male came in clammy and sick, but I still will not buy from that person again, poop filled water, so I know they didn't fast him before shipping. Who I currently get my fish from always fasts them, double bags, double boxes and puts in a least one heat pack, depending on how many fish are in my box lol
I love the ones with dots! If only I had a real, dedicated fish room instead of a few tanks in my office/library/game room.
