I can take one if you think it's safe to ship one. I live about 10 miles outside of Chicago. Is that too far? I should ask my parents, but they won't care. I'm 25 years old and I take care of my animals very well, they won't mind. I already have a betta named Drew. I can put whoever needs a home the most in Drew old tank (about 2 1/2 gallons I think) until I get him/her a tank like Drew has now. I'm pretty good with fish. I've had Drew for over a year and after looking at pictures from when I got him he grew a lot. I forget what kind of water conditioner I use, but Drew thrives with it. I also use fresh water aquarium salt which reduces stress and disease. If you think I'm a good candidate for one of your guys please let me know. Is shipping a lot of money?
