You are not hallucinating, I am actually starting a REAL adoption thread!

First of all... Gndsyxjaodhbsn##*. It turns out, I literally got about a dozen males out of over 80 babies! However, these girls are ludicrously cute and I'm proud of them anyway. I know a lot of you were hoping to get a male from this spawn - I really, truly apologize and I just could not control this. I do have a few males available, so PM me if you're dying for a male and I'll try to set you up with a nice boy. These females have beautiful finnage and coloring, and are just as beautiful an ornamental fish as any male Betta. They are also EGGY! 4 females from this spawn have already been spawned, and all 4 were successful on the first try and produced 100's of eggs. They all are very barred up, and ready to spawn! They'll mix very well with Green, Blue, Melano or even Opaque boys. I would not cross them with reds, simply because you'd get lots of red-wash... there is absolutely no red-wash in this line.

There will only be 10 girls in this post, because these are just the pet/breeding quality girls who are jarred. I have about 40 females still in grow-outs, so I'll continue to post more girls. If you aren't interested in any of these girls, or those that you want are already reserved, there are still plenty more to choose from.


Pricing ~ The first two females you purchase will be $10 each, after that each female is $5. For example, if you buy 6 girls, your total would be $40. Please contact me with any inquiries about pricing ;)

Shipping ~ Priority (2-day) is $20, Express (overnight) is $30. This includes postage, an insulated box, and a heat pack. All Bettas will be double-bagged and shipped as carefully as possible! In the instance of a DOA, I will replace the Betta regardless. If you live in the Sacramento, CA area, you can pick-up or meet me free of charge :thumbs:!

This Spawn ~ 4 months old, Green, HM and BF geno, balanced finnage, and medium-large in size. Have been (ravenously!) eating bloodworms, brineshrimp, grindals, and an assortment of high quality dry foods. All of the Bettas shipped are absolutely healthy upon departure! I will not ship/sell nipped, damaged, or otherwise sick Bettas.

(jar 20) near HM, clean caudal edges, turqoise marble w/black mask, slight humpback. I saw her dropping eggs today =P I think she's ready to burst! Absolutely ready to spawn, and stunning.

(jar 3) near HM, turquoise marble, absolutely adorable, very eggy and ready to spawn, 1 ventral missing. Note: she's not nipped at all. That is her pattern, believe it or not!

Female #7 ~ RESERVED by Jollysue

Super Delta, Green Cellophane/Marble, blue eyes, bent spine. This girl is so cute, she has 2 small green marble spots. She was bullied in the grow-out, so I prefer that she gets her own 1+ gallon home to herself. Perfect for spawning... she is very fiesty!


Female #8

(jar 2) near HM, turquoise w/ black mask, medium-sized, stunning well-balanced finnage, ALWAYS has breeding bars and eggs. This girl is ready!


Female #9 ~ RESERVED by Jollysue ;)

near HM, emerald w/ black mask, beautiful finnage, very flarey. This female probably has the deepest emerald coloring in this spawn, and finnage that's just as impressive as any boys!


Female #10

(jar 23) HM, Turquoise blue w/ black mask and blue lips, breeding bars, stunning and very aggro!



~Female Community Package!~

kaotic183.jpg


4 Females ~ $20
6 Females ~ $25

All groups of females will be from the grow-out, NONE will be shipped with nips. At this moment, they all get along beautifully and there are no nips in the whole bunch of 30+! The package will include at least 2 marbles, unless otherwise noted. They coordinate beautifully, all are green or turquoise with a variety of patterns. If you'd like to request certain coloring in a group, please PM me! There are plenty of HM girls and most are near-HM's.
 
What lovely girls! I can appreciate how much time and effort you put in to this thread alone. Adoptions are no easy task, good luck!
 
Splashluff:

Female # 7 would look spectacular in a split 3 usg with Lips. How bout it? Then pick me an Emerald Green SD or HM lady, too. I lurv #1. She also could have her own place. :nod: But You must not be disappointed if I don't breed them.
 
Really silly question sorry in advance. :*) when you say the females have bars, can you see them on the fish? I can see that they have eggs but not sure what you mean about bars.

My local lfs had 2 super girls yesterday but £6.99 each, they were so feisty they had them separated from the rest of the tank.
 
They are called beeding bars, liz2, and, yes, you absolutely can see them. Breeding bars on the ladies are verticle and stress bars are horizontal. The light stripes on most of these ladies are probably bars and not just refections from the camera.
 
Thanks for all of the nice replies! ^_^ *snugs Ashley*


Jollysue, I have no miffs at all if they aren't spawned. Having a happy home with you is much more important! They're reserved for you, please contact me about payment and shipping.
 
Wow the females have really thick, beautiful finnage:) Congrats on such nice lookers and what a pretty dark green and adorable marble:))

BTW, I have not often seen breeders list if the female is missing ventrals, perhaps that is cause they figure it doesn't matter - but it is nice that you listed it. I have been suprised in past to buy some females and have them arrive with missing ventrals. And, the 'humpback' trait is actually desired by some breeders who find it makes the males look more masculine - I also like it:) I think they call it crowning, or crowned.

Definitely nice caudals, should make some lovely babies:) I only have two female breeders with tails as nice and full, and big! great genes!

Now,, hehe, I hate to be a pest (no I don't)

But I am sure you have some piccies of the males lying about...could you post one or two just for admiration purposes? Pleeeze! :p
 
They are all gorgeous :wub: I love the gumpy female no. 10 :grr: :lol:

I can't believe how similar they are to my big spawn I had as I've said before, but you got better ray splitting in your girls than I did :)

I'm sure they will be snapped up in no time at all
 
Again, you're all so nice ;0)! Thanks for the replies, and to everyone who has reserved girls!!

Willtang, gahhh. I really do wish I could ship internationally! Still, you have plenty of beautiful Bettas yourself! ;)

Fawn, I've definitely noticed that, I've bought Bettas and it took me a while to realize some slight flaws. Those that I'm shipping with bent spines really have the tiniest little curve, but I don't want to mislead anyone. Especially if they have aspirations to show. thanks for all of the nice comments about my girls! And, of course I'll share some hunky boy pics!
