Could A Betta Really Look Like This?

[Katieasaur]

I found it for sale on aquabid but I'm having a hard time believing the Betta actually looks rainbow colored

 

[saltynay]

Its not really what I would call rainbow its more a tricolour with a golden beard, rainbows just artistic licence for marketing. Its completely possible. Is this a Thai or American breeder?

 

[Katieasaur]

thai, which scares me to go through a transhipper too, but I really love this guy

Expensive two it will cost you $20 for the fish but around $160 to transport.

 

[Katieasaur]

it says $5 USD to ship to America but I just don't know how much from the transhipper however she is in the same state as me
obviously i have never bought a fish from this site, even though i know my uncle used to use it frequently so it does scare me a bit to do it

maybe some of you have more experience and have advice

Yu'd be best to contact the transhipper and ask how much theyd cost yu. =]

Amazing looking fish by the way! Make a good breeder ;]

It's the transshipper that costs the most money. Shipping is ok but then once it reaches your continent it has to be allowed to recover for a few days with the transshipper then wrapped up again and moved on. That is how it works in Europe at least when I was looking into it, fortunately I got one from the transshipper that the client had cancelled their order, as a result I got it for extremely cheap as the shipping and transhipper costs were already paid. Send your transhipper an email they can fill you in with the details and you may get lucky.

I sent the transshipper an email, hopefully I'll be able to get him and breed him.

Wow, he's stunning.
I'd love to have one like him, but I only have one female and my tank can only take about one more fish, so I'll have to leave it for now

 

[Katieasaur]

im gunna have an empty 5 gallon when im done disease treating my guppies and swords so he's be perfect in there if i can justify spending that much money on a betta fish to my mom

 

[-FighterFishh]

Ahaa, good luck with that one!

 

[Katieasaur]

shipping is about $20-$30, blehh

 

[-FighterFishh]

Ouchh D;
Maybe you'll have to do some chores to earn him xD

 

[Katieasaur]

hahaha i dont get paid for chores, i just have to do them, and go to school, and it is seemingly impossible to get a job without non-volunteer experience

 

[Katieasaur]

she said she'd send it for $15
