20 fish gone...

goodluck at the show! do you auction off your bettas or just find buyers before hand? i ask because i'de love to buy a betta who is not a pet store rescue, but After one bad experience on aquabid i'm a little timid to buy from people i don't know.

again, good luck at the show! i can't wait to hear how it turns out!
 
Fan~ :*)
Babble~ after a show is over,the next day everybody comes back (including the public) and the show host auctions off every betta. It's a bit time consuming for them because everybody jokes and describes each betta....and when you're auctioning 300+ fish :blink:
You can send in up to 40 fish for auction, I only sent the 17 for show/auction. The rest I'll sell on bidafish, send others to show next month in Florida and then they should just about be all gone. Then I can work on new spawns for the spring season.

Thanks for the well wishes! Myself and my boys (and girls!) appreciate it :D
 
ugggh,I'm sick! The box was delivered this morning at 10....but no one was home to get it :-( I could just kill somebody....anybody.
 
Aww, wuv, that blows. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everyone is doing well in the box and will be fine until tomorrow.

Not in a bad way :p But I sent 19 out today. 17 are on their way to New Jersey. Packing them was a chore and a half,but I managed to get 17 fish into a 10X10 fully insulated box :flex:
Who's yo mama?! :flex:

Well,I am but they're gone now so I'm not the mama anymore :(

Anyhoo, I'm a bit nervous because this is my first time sending fish into show. I usually wait with anticipation to hear that they've arrived safe when I have fish in the mail and I don't think I'll here from them :/ Surely they don't email each breeder :lol: But I could always call.... :shifty:

Didn't have a box for the two going elsewhere so I went to the post office and shipped the big box first and to get a smaller box. The po lady is always so concerned for my fish and she mentioned that she had a male forever ago and recently she spoke of him again so I thought "hmm,at least she keeps her fish alive and well" So I asked if she wanted a female for her little girl (and for her boy to flare at!) and she was like "I don't have a house for her :/ " So I brought her the recently bleached and sterilized Aquaview that my sweet HM baled out of and a beautiful little delta girl with a silk plant. While she was doing my boxes she asked for a brief betta care rundown. I saw her eyeballing the worms that I was shipping to Julie....I think there's another addict in the making :shifty:

Long dull story,I know :rolleyes: But it ate up my morning and made a lot of room in the betta room :hyper:
..Room to jar my most recent spawn of 7 million plakats :blink:
AW

What kind of worms were they?

Also its good to hear that the babies are doing good cant wait till there Juvis.. :wub:

Stupid,stupid tracking! I was so upset that I called their house to basically rip ass and ask why they weren't home, but I was so upset I couldn't be mean....I was just pleading. The girl said to let her look around and that she never got a notice. 2 minutes later she called back and said she found my box!! It was there the whole time. :rolleyes:

phew!

Good luck in the show Kelly, I'm glad the fish arrived safely afterall :) I have a feeling we're going to see your winning name in lights once the results are posted, hehe. I'll be anxiously awaiting the results.

Thanks Linda :)

I guess the worst part is never hearing anything from anybody -_- I just shipped my fish off into the world with no knowledge of their destiny :unsure: :(
 
You gotta figure that they'll do better with someone who loves bettas enough to go to a show or auction, then with someone who buys them from a petco or something. Scant comfort, I know, but it's something at least.
 
This is true,very true. I'm sure they'll be fine. I'm just a cornball :p I think it's because I want to be there! :eek: I wanna see my babies on display :wub: :wub: :wub: .....But I don't even get to hear anything about it :X

ahhh well,maybe they'll post pics or something on their website someday.
 
aww im sure theyll be fine and im sure if i knew a betta was comin from u id snatch it up... same q as bones... thought about shippin to canada :p :rolleyes:
