Thank YOU
Your fry are ALL gorgeous!

NO, thank you! You are amazing to work with and have such well communication. Very generous and goes above and beyond when is comes to the satisfying the customer and the health of her fish!

They are so energetic and "playful" if you will.

Well, shipping bettas is stressful enough on it's own it doesn't need any help! And I much prefer having a fun conversation and making sure everyone is happy than I care to make a few bucks... After all, this is a hobby and it's no good to have a hobby that is "just business". And let's be honest, you've sold your soul to those little suckers the second they hatch! Anything less and you've failed your role as a breeder :)

Exactly!

I think you have given me the main idea of how to pack and ship fish. (From when I opened the box)...I'm a bit scared to do so and want to try it out, but I don't think i'm too ready for that just yet. Maybe when they hatch i'll try a few times to ship some out. It's a lot of work to do so.

Shipping is pretty straight forward once you've done it a few times but no matter how many times I box up and ship out fish I'll still worry the entire time they are in the mail! But good luck selling any fish without mailing them, it's just a necessary evil.

I will definitely be shipping them out. Though I would like to have practice with someone that lives the closest to me so I can have a mind a little at ease. Also I think I should just look at examples to get some ideas of how other top breeders and "simple" breeders ship.

It will be WAY too much for me to sell, give away majority of the fry. I will just have to face it sooner or later. I have no problem buying online (to a certain point), but when it comes down to me shipping [FISH] I would definitely do everything in my power to make them as comfortable as possible.
