'Surprise' Extra Betta Sent - What to Do?

[GulfShrimplet]

Thank you for the encouragement re the bettas. I'm indeed stressed too so I need it.

I'll keep y'all updated with news and pics, soon I hope.

 

[Scottyhorse]

Can't wait for pics either!

Sorry to hear about the female. Ill be interested in how they get on.

Just adding my two cents... Can't wait to see pics of the lovely bridal couple! Don't worry too much about your little girl. The gal that shipped my imported betta told me she once had a betta returned to her by the post office a MONTH after she had shipped it to a buyer. Apparently they never showed up to collect it. It was still alive and went on to a full recovery. They are tough little buggers! My Thai betta is now accepting frozen brine shrimp, though he will have nothing to do with pelleted food.

 

[GulfShrimplet]

Hey y'all! They are both alive. The boy is flaring, the girl is alive but hides when she sees me .

I'll try to post pics sometimes today.

Thanks for reassurances. It helps to know they are tougher than I gave them credit for being.

PS - I wake up late. That's why I update y'all so late - not trying to keep y'all in suspense.

Never apologize us nocturnals have rights too! The early risers need us, but never understand us

You are a hero for buying for a breeder not a cup!! My congrats!!

 

[GulfShrimplet]

Thank you ScottyHorse and Marsh!

The IT Crowd! I believe Marsh said those names hehe and I have wanted a white betta for so long but have never been able to find one locally but WOW after seeing that betta I am amazed! How beautiful!! I can not wait to see the female!! I will be waiting to see some more pictures of them both!!

Pics! Taken with iPhone so not so great. Still gotta scape tanks. Boy doesn't like his fake plant and log so his tank is completely bare.

Okay trying. Bear with me. I'm also waiting on a friend to get me for dinner and a movie. This wouldn't work when I was in a hurry.

 

[GulfShrimplet]

[/ATTACH]I think I finally got it.

Girl won't let me close enough to get a good pic of her.


I'll look for my camera's battery tomorrow, then do a little scaping, and try to put up some pics that do them justice.

Names are picked! After over 50 imaginative, downright weird, literary, lovely, and entertaining names - here they are!

Boy: Artax Quasar Parthos
Girl: Jasmina Glynis Bliss

As you can see, I couldn't pick just one each.

Thank you everyone for suggestions.

Thank you.

I thought about breeding them. According to the breeder, they won't be ready for three months. That gives me time to decide but I'm leaning towards not. The stress and expense might not be worth it.

Hope your move, remodel and job hunt goes quickly and well. We did a remodel last year so I know how that can be. Remember, it was more than worth in in the end.

Now you named them all your favorite names what are you gonna name the babies?!? haahhhaaaahheeehee

They are beautiful! If you decide to try for babies, you can keep the young-uns in the same tank for awhile and as they get bigger, you can sell them to all your friends here!
