"special Needs" Adoption

Doesn't one of you folks want to have Synirr throw in her red marble 2nd Place winner for $10? It's a good deal for someone. You could even throw in some/one of the other prize winners she's holding if there's still some left. Nothing extra for shipping, I imagine. Great deal! It's usually $40+ for fish from Aquabid just for shipping!

I'm stocked up with more coming or I would sure be on the gravy train.

I've got to go talk to Wuv about imbellis, now :fun: :shifty: :sly: ;) :drool: ;)
 
bettaBetta -- PM on the way. Achilles is a great name for him, I think!

RandomWiktor -- Awesome, I'm so glad someone wants her; I was a little worried, to be honest :*)
I'm gonna try to find some heat packs locally this weekend, but I may have to order them. I'll PM you once I get them, it should't be but a couple of bucks extra :)


Snyirr if you have any more pm me I will see what I can do to help..
I'm still holding a couple of iridescent females for you, if you want them. One is so funny, I've been able to recognise her since week 4... some of them have had tiny patches of jumbled scales, but with her it's like her whole body is jumbled! :lol: Her fins are funny looking, and so are all her scales, but she's overwise completely normal. Her rays are totally crooked, haha; they come out from her body at different angles. It just gives her character, in my opinion.

Hahaha, thanks for pushing my merchandise :lol:
 
Well, Synirr, it's still a good deal, and I hate an almost empty box. Fill it up, why don't you, folks! :/
 
You guys won't regret it, who adopted "special needs" bettas. Though mine aren't "special needs", I took two, what we call "gimpy" bettas from Synirr. Deformed gill plates. They have become quite the little men. Tiny though, mine haven't really grown much, so if Synirr ever wanted to start a tiny strain, she can use my Mime, who is the normal man from my Synirr group (I got three). If I had the room, I would take them, but I'm like jollysue, no more room. Seriously, I only have the hospital/quaranteen tank, and I will never use that as a permanent home.
 
I also would not be able to spend the time with them that they need, Iljdma. I considered the little girl too. I was ready to take her, like Lady, but I am SOOOOO glad RW took her. She will get much better care and attention from him. And I could never be trusted with the swim bladder boys. :crazy: :eek: :hyper:

I am really happy you are being blessed Synirr. It must be satisfying to see your efforts appreciated. I love my trio. The girls are a colorful pair in the sotrority. And Rudy is spunky. He has taken on the Red/Green HM DT Butterfly, Samson, to flare at. He doesn't have any girls now to impress. So he is busy taking on Samson to a duel through acrylic. I can't wait to see how he manages a bubble nest. I must provide for that. Hmmm?
 
Wow, I'm glad everyone thinks so highly of me. I hope I can live up to my reputation! :*)

I just did a major tank overhaul to prepare for the new girl. It took me all day, but it was worth it; everyone is now in a 5 gallon tank, and I am experimenting with no filters, since two of my older VTs have trouble with it, and more frequent cleaning. And, even though I somehow put 3 fish in bigger tanks, I actually created enough room for a 2.5 starter tank for the little girl. She'll be right on my desk so I can keep an eye on her.

I'm getting excited now. Once those heat packs come in, you'll have to give me an updated price quote. Thanks, and looking fowards to meeting the little lady! :thumbs:
 
I found out I can get heat packs locally, so barring any unexpected difficulties, I will have them tomorrow and will be able to ship the little lady out on Tuesday :D

Just as a heads up to any of you expecting fish from me... I forgot to fast some of them, so the fish from the show and the little Flamenco dancer male will have to wait until Wednesday if going Express, or next week if going Priority :/. So sorry about that, but I need to fast them 2 days before shipping just to be safe, and I prefer not to ship Priority packages any later than Tuesday since I don't trust the postal service to get them there before the weekend.
 
i wonder if it's safe to ship mine priority with a heat pack? i've been getting them 2nd day from you...
 
I will want you to get a heat pack for them I dont care what it cost. I will send you the money out tomorrow. Let me know about the heat pack and I will add this extra. I want them to stay warm. It is starting to get down cold in the nites here, and I dont want my ladies to get to cold. I love each and every one of the bettas I got off from you and I lost one of them I am still heart broken over it. I dont want to lose anymore, We will get the money in the mail tomorrow...

It might be ok, it's your decision. I'm gonna try to get the 30 hour heat packs, if that helps... I think you'll be surprised at this guy's size, he's the runtiest one I have, but thinks he's the boss :lol:

Angel Lady -- The heat pack should be less than $5, I'll PM you tomorrow after I buy them and tell you how much :)
 
Hmm. Do the fishies generally arrive overnight, or in two days? See, I might not be around until wed. night, and I don't want her to sit for too long. On Thursday, I only have two classes, so it'd be beyond awesome if she arrived then. Chances are, I'd be around when the mail arrives. If she were to get here friday, on the other hand, I'd be worried because I have classes all day, and on the weekend I'm not here. I will be at home for two days next week, and if she was shipped on say, a monday, I could recieve her at home, make sure she is OK, then bring her back to the college.

Heh, can you tell I'm worried a bit? This will be the first fish I ever have shipped to me. I have a feeling I'll freak out more than a little if anything bad happens to her.

Either way, please do PM me your adress so I can send you some money for the gal ;) I need to get my shipping adress 100% correct, too, so I'll get that tonight.

edit: actually, I might have you ship to my home adress either way. I really don't trust the school's mail carrier, and someone is more likely to be home all day at my house. I could instruct my mom on how to acclimate her, then simply bring her back to the school next week. My mom is really awesome about taking care of the fish properly, so I wouldn't have to worry about her overfeeding, incorrectly acclimating, etc.

ooo I was so excited too! Since you are getting heat packs, I think it might be best if you throw one in with the lavender girl. It's quite foggy here today and I was just informed to expect rain by the end of the week (bad for bettas, but the first rain of the school year means a mass of naked people running through campus :lol:). It could get sunny and warm again, but I think winter is finally coming. Let me know how much is costs. :)
 
Does that mean Achillies shipment was put off too? I don't really mind if it was and if itt was I'll pay extra for the heatpack.
 
Ooooh ok.

Maybe this tuesday would not be good. We are supposed to have extremely bad weather, possibily even sleet and snow. I don't know how good those heat packs are, but if it is quite allright, I'd prefer not to risk it. Could she maybe wait until next monday? I'd be VERY concerned about her shipping this week; temps will be at freezing and possibly below, and it has not been above the 40's all day.
