So, as some of you know, I purchased a gorgeous black betta on aquabid earlier in the week. As of yesterday, the seller had informed me he would ship today and the fish would arrive tomorrow. After waiting all day to receive the tracking number he promised, I got an email from him at like 10:30 saying that he didn't have any of the strain of Bettas I bought left. They had sold out weeks ago. The listing wasn't even that old. Not only did he not have the fish I payed for, but no others like it. So if he did, he probably would have just shipped some random sibling that may have not looked as nice as the one pictured, even though the listing was for that individual fish. I'm so mad. I spent all day painting a white background on his tank so he would stand out in the tank and now there is no black betta to put in it. I found a nice black hmpk on aquabid, though, and now I'm just waiting to hear back from the transshipper to get him ordered. I was hoping to avoid going through a transshipper but there aren't any other nice blacks available from any US sources. Ugggggggh. Anyone else have a deal like this go wrong?
