Wow, when I ordered her on Ebay and had her sent via Priority Mail, it seemed a little too easy and cheap. But she was shipped on May 16, and I just got her today ( May 18 ), and she looks spunky and healthy. Who knew it could be so easy?!?
She's a crowntail with reddish fins and a whitish body. She's got a few small splotches on one side of her body; I knew she would, as the picture on the auction listing was quite accurate. Even with the splotches, she's still so much more interesting than the other petstore females that I have. I figure the spots give her character, and it's not like she'll ever be bred. For my first Ebay/live fish purchase, I wasn't willing to spend a ton of cash, and she was only $23, including shipping. Such a deal!
Now I just have to get her acclimated to female betta tank community living. (Don't worry, I have other options for her if she can't learn to play well with others.) She's currently in isolation, hanging inside the 15g, flaring at the other girls when they go over to investigate. If any of you have any handy tips for this, I'd love to hear them.
I'll take a picture of her good side, and post it in a few days.
I love Ebay. what fun!
