A great day for bettas!

[Sorrell]

Well, I went shopping down in Denver today, and the transhipper Linda lives there so I asked her if I could pick up my aquabid fishies while I was in town We met up around 6 this evening, and she asked me if I had ever been to this store called the Betta Shop. I hadn't so she told me she was heading there and had me follow her I walked in and almost died This store was all HMs and there was a good 50 of them there The owner is the president of the RMBS, the IBC chapter I just joined and it took me a good half-hour, but I chose three fish from him too

His look better then my aquabid ones right now as they had a trip across states and not across seas, but I took some shots of both sets I'll do the aquabids first

This is Wager, he's colored up since this shot and now has a lot more purple

Thanks Kelly I talked about you in that shop tonight He was asking me if I need more females so I told him about the orangies and al that they carry, and he was very interested in where they came from So I mentioned they were bred by the current novice front runner

It was so exciting I couldn't believe it. Linda kept standing behind me as I flashlighted everyone saying "no shipping " The next meeting is in two weeks and they said a shipment from Asia is coming over late next week, so I'll be just in time for that weather permitting

Tell him your oranges are originally from Ralph Tran I bred them of course but the parents were his fish.

I bet it was awesome I'd love it.

 

[Sorrell]

Is Ralph Tran the person who started the line? He was talking about the man who started orange big here, but I can't remember the name...I just told him your name and that I have fish from your spawn, but I didn't know where they originated

It was awesome

 

[wuvmybetta]

Yup. Ralph was one of the first to breed oranges.
