im currently adding bettas on to my ebay shop to make way for new stock, not all are perfect, but free from diseases, most will have splits and chunks missing in their fins but will grow with time, just thought i would let you know as most of my buyers are on this forum, a few will be added daily as time allows me to do so and they require a quick dispatch if possible, loving homes only please laugh.gif ( i know you all have great homes for them, so only joking). If your gunna buy just one female to be added to a female tank then please be aware that you need to acclimatize her to the group correctly by removing all females from the tank for an hour or 2 and rearranging the tank, add them all back in at the same time and allow them to go through the pecking order again, adding one female to an established tank puts her at risk and this is the only safe way to get her accepted by the group without them attacking her. I know some people know this already, im not treating people like idiots but some people do not know this, im sure you'll understand why ive made this fact public about adding one female.

Sorry i'm personally not allowed to link to my ebay in this forum as i got told off for doing this. sleep.gif but im sure most people will know where to find it.

oh if you dont already know im in the uk and i dont ship internationally.
oh these will be in a buy it now format for quick sales.

yup they are all fine, i wont send out a bad fish, i wont let them go until i know for sure that they will travel well and are eating good, so always in perfect health when they are dispatched, some will have a few rips etc... but nothing that wont grow back in time. not got any PS gups at the moment forsale i can get the males of any type and some of the rarer ones but the females are a diffferent matter as the breeder wont part with them, ive got 2 strains that are pure but im building numbers before i let any of them go

breeding siblings is the best thing to be done when looking for a desired result, with both fish coming from the same family doesnt mean deformed fish, you can cross siblings but new blood must be added to that line before the 8th generation. this is how people create the awesome looking bettas with very unusual colours and less of the wash effect in the body and fins thus providing more solid patches of colours

having a shop doesnt make me the expert, it just makes me a very old and tired man with extra stress lines laugh.gif , i make mistakes and learn from them and research daily also read/google daily this is how ive learnt as well as the hands on experience. a pic of the female would be better, isnt it the one in the previous thread about the one from netty?
