^_^ thanks Suki, Kay, and Katie.. you girls are awesome! Cheers me up after spending 2 hours trying to get a few decent pics of my poor babies. *kicks camera*

Flamepony, thank you! I'll try to move the tanks under a good light. Their tank lights are pretty bright, but they don't do anything for my camera... I'm about to throw it out of my window. I swear! n_n (the camera not the tanks)

Suki, awwww thank you! they arrived really promptly and were very healthy and happy.. I definitely recommend BettaTalk, you were thinking about a BT girl right? I LOOVE my girl.. she's such a sweetie, and sooo amazingly healthy! Her fins are perfect. I can't wait to get a 10G and 5 other girls for her to hang with someday...

Kay, they cost $95 all-together, including the shipping. Just for the fish it was $60 (discounted from $100 because the males tail is slightly torn from over-flairing =0P), then $10 for the 5 Java Ferns (which are awesome, and I soooo recommend). That's $20 a fish, which is not unreasonable to me.. they're really good eaters, happy, constantly swimming around and they're young. They are at least 1/2"-1" smaller than the fish at PetCo and Wal*Mart (because these are only 4 months old and pet stores Bettas are usually much older, after being raised, shipped, sitting on the shelves, etc)... they're much younger and healthier than *any* pet store Bettas I've seen, so the higher price seems worth it to me, in the long run. You also get TONS of free advice from the genius BettaTalk people. Majestic Bettas also has GORGEOUS fishies ! I ordered 20 Indian Almond Leaves from them, for only $10, and they're amazing! They also were delivered 2 days after I requested them, and MB is totally professional and nice. They sell fish at very very reasonable prices and they're all drop-dead gorgeous (AND they have individual photos for each lot).. BCbettas also has some very nice fish for sale ^_~
