adopt a cull?

[csr mel]

so besides the fry issue, a betta should be ok with platies in a 55 gallon?

the fry are growing quick, although i can quarter them off untill they are big enough to be with the betta.

does this sound good?

A Betta should be fine with Platys. It's the size of the tank that concerns me more, I would keep an eye on him and make sure he isn't overwhelmed by the size. If he's fine then great! If not, be ready with a smaller tank just for him.

I'd love to have one! but unfortunately I don't really have the money to pay for shipping If any time you take a trip to Nova Scotia.... lol
It's a really good idea Wuv, do you have any pictures of some??

 

[tekknocolor]

I think it is a great idea, how much is the shipping? I just learned that my betta is blind I wondered why he never flared or anything, and he's been n the tank with his lady for a couple months now she's his eyes. I wondered why when i removed her he wouldnt eat, now I know he follows her to the food it's very unique. So that proves SPECIAL NEEDS bettas can have just as productive lives when given the chance.

That's soooooo sweet... Kinda like my fiance and me! I tell him I'm hot and he turns the fan on, I tell him I'm thirsty and he gets me something to drink, I tell him I'm hungry and he hunts and gathers.... That's why he doesn't know what to do w/ himself when I'm not around?!?!

j/k ... don't tell him I said that

I'd love to take one... as long as shipping to Ottawa is reasonable... or, what if we can find enough people in Canada willing to take culls, maybe we could send a bunch in one box and send it to a central location, and then distribute from there? I don't know if this makes it any cheaper, I have never shipped fish before...

FWIW ... www.bidafish.com has this section for anyone that wants to use it to find homes for their culls.

Eeeeeeee! I've been busy lately and haven't had time for the forum, so I might be getting in on this a little late... but this is a WONDERFUL idea!! What better way to "cull" fish than to give them to good homes?
I just sectioned off a 10 gallon to house some of my babies, so I've got several empty 1 and 2.5 gallon tanks they left behind that I could put new fish in... I could easily take two or three, and would happily pay shipping.
I've got a special place in my heart for the gimps. My first betta ever was missing an eye, and right now I have one with no ventrals. The vast majority of my bettas are from Walmart, so that should tell you something

I got the pics (which was a pain!), I just don't know if I want it ending at 2 in the AM So I'll do it in the morning

EDIT~
Ok,I'm listing one. Sheesh, even I wanted to bid on your cull on there rolln! I'm a real sicko But "he needs a home" Who could resist that!

 

[rollntider]

you can set the time the auction ends, so if you list at 2am you can set the days and the time...

[Synirr]

Wuv, I just saw your auctions on www.bidafish.com... you're in Texas?!?
What part, if I may ask? I'm in east Texas, near... well, I'm not near any particularly large cities actually, but Tyler is a couple of hours away.

I'm in Fort Worth

I'll take any orange one. Something that looks like a goldfish. Doesn't have to be a specific finnage. Veil is fine. Just as long as he's orange.
