Days like these, I have to practically put a steel lock on my bank account to keep me from going crazy on Aquabid. I see sometimes I get these "cravings" for different kinds of bettas. One day it's a red dragon halfmoon, other days its a pure opaque doubletail. Today it's a copper halfmoon butterfly. I've promised myself behind my back that someday soon I will have one shipped my way. These dern fish'll be the DEATH of me. (or at least my wallet. LOL.)

Hopefully soon I will be getting promoted to a position at work that will pay an upwards of $900 a week. (Fingers crossed!!!!!) That means more freedom to expand my fish room, more tanks, more equipment, and more ease of mind when purchasing Thai fish. -__- I'm terrified of my lack of self control when I see a betta I want on Aquabid... watch for me on the next episode of animal hoarders!! Heehee.

But, I mean,.... who WOULDN'T want fish like these?

They are just so FLIPPIN' GORGEOUS. Mark my words, I WILL start a copper BF line. Mark. My. Words. :twisted:


(Next week it'll prolly be a different color strain.... xD )

 

[vilmarisv]

I certainly do! Sometimes I overindulge but I've been good lately... of course, it only takes Martinsmommy to list fish and then my good behavior goes out the window

 

[Kerrilea]

I've had my eyes on the lovely blue butterfly halfmoon for well over a year!
But my tank is full of female bettas right now, and my new tank hasn't arrived yet.
No fun for me yet ;p

Just. So. Gorgeous!

However, at the same time I feel like I want to buy all of the bettas from the cups in the petshops to save them! .... They'll just stock more though. grr

 

[flyingxchanges]

ohhhh boy do I know how you feel!

I just got another one from Walmart today. I'm going to be in so much trouble when my boyfriend finds out. Up to four fish now..... Whoops :lol:

Those are some beautiful fish! I have to stay off Aquabid...or else my bedroom would become a fish room and I'd be sleeping on the couch.

 

[Luimeril]

i did. and i caved. lol. but, who couldn't with this guy?

also, if you wanna oogle some beauties, check out Aquastar71's auctions. he gets some beautiful boys and girls! Hopdiggity also sells some beautiful bettas when she gets them in.

Actually, my couch is pretty comfortable.... :lol:

My cell phone never survives more than half a day, because I am CONSTANTLY on Aquabid looking for those "once and a lifetime" bettas (or at least that's what I keep telling myself, haha.)

I can relate with you guys completely. If I were to start a copper BF line, would anyone buy them? :hmm:

 

[Bombalurina]

I would! If you shipped to Australia, anyway. I love coppers so much! What is BF?

I know how you feel about cravings. That's how I ended up with Odysseus.

 

[fleetfish]

When you said "cravings" I thought for a moment to myself, why on earth would I like to eat bloodworms? and then the morning coffee kicked in

But yeah, right now I really really really want this orange dal HM I saw a few days ago ... he was something else! But I am trying to stay away from getting more bettas, really. I'll see how long I last, lol!

 

[betta lover1507]

the girl in my avi,
this girl, i got:

then this girl:

those are all the AB betta's i had. everyone here has the cravings for fish, am trying to look for a cheap HMPK male. it's so hard to focus on getting one!!

 

[vilmarisv]

BF reffers to a butterfly pattern which is what you see well defined in the pictures above with the crowntail and the blue/white HM.

 

[Bombalurina]

Oh, butterfly. Yes, I love butterflies! Odysseus is one.

 

[LittleBettaFish]

At the moment I have a fairly comfy savings account, plenty of time (currently unemployed) and access to some really nice bettas.

I just simply indulge my cravings and hope to God I don't break an arm or a leg anytime soon :mrgreen:

Once I get back into full-time work hopefully I will have a plumbed fish room to cut down on maintenance. But I swear purchasing fish is a more serious and expensive addiction than if I was using illicit drugs haha.

But has the advantages of being legal and slightly less physically harmful! Until you trip over whilst carrying a water change bucket and faceplant into a tank, of course.

This just made me snort orange juice.

Safer than cocaine.

 

[copperarabian]

I love coppers too Did you get those photos off of aquabid? The first and last photo are of my fish and I want to make sure no one is using them as a scam.

 

[MollyJean]

For me it's grizzles and marbles... I'll see one and go hunting for the perfect grizzle! It's gotten pretty bad.. when I see one I REALLY want.. I start thinking up ways to get it, tank it, and hide the setup from my husband, who has put his foot down.. NO MORE PETS! Hmm.... he never goes in the guest bathroom.. or the upstairs bedrooms.. I could keep one in each bedroom.. you know.. for guests!

I don't blame him... if he didn't stop me, I'd have half the animals on Craigslist under our roof. I would have turned one of our spare bedrooms into a fish room and the other into a snake room.. and probably turned the sun room into a ferret play room. >.>

I googled "Copper butterfly betta" and these images came up. You OWN that betta? Luuuuuckyyyy. :/

Teehee, I feel your pain. I plan on moving in October to a 3-bedroom place and turning the laundry area & one bedroom into a fish room. My man just rolls his eyes when I tell him. And when I tell him I want to move to Thailand to mass-breed bettas outside, he just kind of gives me a blank stare. :lol:

 

[inareverie85]

Mustard Gas.. When I see one, it's so hard to resist

I haven't bought any Aquabid bettas yet, but one day I will.

ALL TEH MUSTARD GASES BELONG TO ME.
