These guys arrived last week. They were stuck at the Post Office overnight because I was not home (I didn't know the shipper had already shipped.) The worst part is that my mail carrier placed them under the AC because he knew that "it was something alive". 
I know that he had good intentions, but I worried about them getting too cold all night. I think I understand why many shippers don't mark the packages "LIVE FISH" now. Thankfully, they were all alive and well when I picked them up the next morning. Anyway, I promised pics so here they are....
This is my red marble HM. He's a very deep red. BTW, he's my very first HM.
This is my red marble/butterfly HM female. She's a cutie...but, I noticed that when I feed her pellet food she has issues with her swim-bladder. She is fine when I feed her frozen bloodworms so I guess she'll be getting lots of frozen/live foods.
Anyone else have a betta that does this?
Finally, here is my new red plakat female. I was really hoping that she would be a closer match to one of my other plakats...but, she's a cutie. If anyone is interested I may sell her for price I gave + shipping. PM me if your interested.
This is all for now. I do have one or two more fish that I got before these at my LPS...I'll probably make a new thread for them.
