Maui + Kula Spawn!

thanks, Sarah! :) I'd love to send a baby to you, if you decide you want one. I'll probably wait to ship most of them until February or late January, so they'll be bigger and be able to handle the trip easier.

Bettas generally do very well in 1-5 gallon tanks. These babies should be on the large side full-grown, as both of their parents are very big and healthy and they'll have long finnage. I recommend 2.5 gallon Mini-bows, they're perfect size, they come with everything (except for silk plants, water conditioner and food) and they only cost about $25. Large Kritter Keepers (2 or 4 gals) are perfect for Bettas, too! http://www.bettatalk.com has tons of info about Betta care, and that is the breeder that I got the parents of this spawn from. Check out their strain catalog, under Blue/Green Moons, that's what these fry are ;)

They're all so beautiful! I want one...

Do you happen to know how much it would cost me to have you ship one all the way to Canada and also, how much do you charge for one (male)? Would it be too stressful on them to be shipped that far or would they be ok?

They are getting so big!! Thanks for the uppydate Erica :D

Aww, they look so cute! I can't wait to see them fully grown.

Thanks for all the nice comments about my bebes ;)! Devan, I've asked a bunch of professional Betta people about shipping to Canada, and I've gotten a few answers. If I were to just ship the Bettas as Express and not make anyone aware that they ARE living fish, it'd cost about $25-30. However, I would not want to risk that :(. Overall, an inspector needs to be paid at the border to check the fish to be sure that it is a Betta Splenden, which costs around $20, and on top of that the shipping fees and possibly a trans-shipper fee, which would total around $50 just for shipping. Ugh, I wish it wasn't like that just to send a package to Canada, but unfortunately it is. I also worry about the package getting held up, or the heat pack going out, and the fish dying and you being left $50 in the hole. I'm sorry it's like that, but I could recommend an AWESOME breeder in BC, if you'd like ^_~

I recently jarred some of the more mature Bettas, and I *actually* got some half-decent pictures! The first 2 are in the "big kids" grow-out, and the single guy is my favorite from this spawn so far. He is uber-friendly, outgoing, and fiesty, and he looks JUST like his pops! I think I spot some marbling, too! I'll hopefully be keeping him... he seems to have a slightly bent spine, which would prevent me from selling him to most serious breeders anyway.

they are so freking cute! I wish I could have one!

[dies] they're so gorgeous! ^^ I can't wait. :D

Thanks for the information, Erica :) That's too bad, I guess I'll jsut have to admire them through your pics. I'd love to talk to the breeder in BC though!

Pstttttttt! I'm hoping to spawn my future marble plakats as well as a couple halfmoon pairs soon (just gotta find the right male for my female, or the right female for my males).. it'll be a good few months but if you want a betta, you're more than welcome to one of my babies. :)

thanks, you guys. ^_^ they're a major pain but they're worth it!

gawd Ashley, just go ahead and advertise all over my thread. heheh.
