I just heard from my betta dealer in Thailand that he included the female mate for my male betta in my already shipped order. He charged me $20 extra for her plus the extra cost to ship her. I payed to preserve my reputation on Aquabid. I'll also have to pay the transshipper extra for her. I need advice regarding my options.
My budget is tight. And I have no place to house her. I had intended to spoil my betta with a large tank for a betta (8g), http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_viewi...400371&gclid=CNDUguzDh7UCFfSmPAodSksASgplants and even fish toys. It's taken me three months to afford this setup and fish from Thailand (I like them young so I'll have more time with them, healthy, and pretty). I cannot afford to replicate this setup for another fish, and I'll feel bad spoiling one and leaving the other with a small unheated uncycled unplanted tank.
1) Try to resell her and have her sent from transshipper if she'll allow it.
2) Try to sell her and send her after she arrives at my home.
3) Keep her in a small somewhat heated uncycled tank. Our house is often cold in the winter(60F or so).
4) Rig a divider to fit this 12'' x 12'' x 14''T tank. Will have to be custom not to mention unsightly.
5) Keep her in cheap 5g or 10g tank with cheap(er) equipment. I really don't have the cash for this especially after paying extra for that surprise.
6) Do y'all have any ideas.
Thank you!
