Well, my house has become just filled with BETTAS! I can't help myself when I see them in those little cups with fin rot and all those horrible things that happen at WAL*MART and other LFS in the area.

Anyway, I have 1 boy available for adoption if anyone wants him. He's a really active boy, and is quite unique. He's a Veiltail/Crowntail cross with extra long pectoral fins. When I got him he was ridden with fin rot, but he's 100% better now.

All I ask is that you pay shipping, I have a heat pack and insulated box, so I can ship USPS Priority Mail for $15.00.

PM me if your interested... Here he is:

Woow I REALLY want to say yes, he is BEAUTIFUL and I've been thinking about getting a betta for awhile now. But I'm not sure my fiancée would let me with our current living situation :(

You have NO idea how much counter space we have. Practically none. :( :( I'm seriously living in a one-room house haha. This entire "house" is as big as my parents' living room :(

Aww...I would definately adopt him, but I have my hands full with my two. I don't really have enough space. :( He's gorgeous though...if you still have him after the 1st of the year, let me know.

What size tank are you getting? They do well in a simple 1 gallon bowl...

They thrive and are more active in larger tanks though.. maybe that's why she's getting a larger one?

That's true, I was just wondering how big she's going. Or I suppose it could be one of those fancy eclipse ones...I was just thinking $60, I got my 10 gallon for $5, and then about $25-$30 for the extras.

10 gallon for $5?? Wow. Even at Walmart their 10 gallons are about $15. :o
At least, that's what I paid when I got mine. Walmart sure is cheaper than stores like petsmart and petco when it comes to aquariums, though!!

If I had another tank I'd take him in a hearbeat. I'll tell ya what, if he doesn't have a home by next weekend & I get another tank by then I'll take him. I have too many plans to look for a tank this weekend & the early part of this coming week but I'll be able to look for one in the middle of next week.

I've been wanting to find a tank so I can have one at work for a couple weeks now I just haven't really had the time.

If I find one & he has found a home by then then I guess we'll just wait until another comes along.
