Regular Member blinky000 Posted October 19, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 19, 2005 i ordered 3 bettas from a website last month but there was a problem with the bags and two of them died but they offered to replace them free of charge bar postage so last week they had another delivery and i picked another two. a copper orange and a blue marble delta. got an email last night that said they had been posted and id get them this morning. well, they came! i opened the bags and theres the copper orange looking quite perky. and theres the blue marble looking just as happy and theres another bag. i think to myself, maybe they put it in as padding to stable the other bags but no! theres writing on it saying 'red double tail. damaged fins. free to good home'! he has such huge fins and hes so chunky compared to the blue one. such a delicate little face i had to go to school so i left my parents to get them settled in and ive just seen them and the red double tail and the copper delta are happily flaring at each other and the blue is greedily munching away on some flakes! so im pleasently surprised all round really. pics coming in a couple of days. dont want to stress them too much at the minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Florissa Posted October 19, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 19, 2005 That's great! I am happy they arrived safe and sound. I would worry so much transporting fish. They're lucky they sent the extra betta to a good home with room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
