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.
