Adoption Thread - Rescue Bettas- Price Reduced!

[BettaBum873]

EVERYONES BEEN ADOPTED!!!! More boys will be healthy and ready for adoption in 2 weeks or so, so keep checking back!

ADOPTED
This is Jesse. He was sitting in a bowl (about the size of a betta cup) at my LFS for over a month, on display, where nobody could really even see him. The bowl was hanging in the midst of plants. Everytime I went in I hoped he had been sold, and everytime he saw me he did a little flare and a wiggle dance. I think he was telling me I was supposed to take him home. So I did

ADOPTED
This is Waffle. I just got him, hes missing half of his tail but is in good spirits and health otherwise. He's ready to go!

ADOPTED
This is Luna, a cute little girl rescued from a shelf of dead males from Wal*Mart. Shes super sweet and will be a great addition to any sorority tank.

ADOPTED
This is Holly. She was so stressed when I got her that she was a light coppery yellow. Shes happy now and loves checking herself out in mirrors.

ADOPTED
Tequilla. Hes such a cutie. Was "on display" a LFS, nobody realized he was actually for sale, was there for 2 months in tiny bowl just a tad bigger than the caups they keep them in.

Thank you for taking you time to look in here. If you have any question please don't hesitate to ask.

Looks like some nice fish, I'd be happy to take one but unfortunately this is a bad time for me.

I love Sherbert and Merlyn, but I don't have another tank... If shipping was only $10, I could afford that ^^

 

[BettaBum873]

over 4 bettas would be $15. If you would like merlyn or sherbert or both it'll be $10

It's great that you're doing an adoption for all these guys.

I think it's going to be hard to get these guys a home. Fr just a $$$ standpoint - I could got out to the lfs/petsmart/petco find a rescue for $2.99+. It's not cost effective for me to pay $10.00 for yours.

It's more a cost point of view.

I do honestly hope you get these guys adopted out. And maybe try finding some ppl local in the area first.

Just some thoughts - didn't mean to be Debbie Downer.

I know, I am advertising them locally as well

I adore Orion. If you can hold him till May when I deliver those 4 tanks to you, I'd love to adopt him. I've decided my split 10g will be my two females since they're not as stressed by seeing each other; this frees up two 5g tanks, and I think Orion would make a handsome inhabitant for one of them... Plus, since I'd be driving, there'd be no shipping involved, so he wouldn't have to go through that ^^

 

[BettaBum873]

awww I'm sorry, hes actually on hold for someone already, I just didn't put it up yet I'm really sorry But that idea sounds fine if you like any of the others... Let me know

Awww I love Sherbert, so much. I'd adopt him if I had the room.

Heh, you and me seem to have bad luck with coordinating fish transfers with one another. I think I'll just wait and see who is available by May; I'm not too picky about who I adopt. I love pretty much all bettas.

I know what your saying sukie, but (maybe its just me) if i see something i really like and want, id pay anything within reason...i think the fact that they were rescues helps though, it makes you feel that your making a difference. My newest betta isnt really a looker but i like the fact that i can make him feel better!

 

[Betta_Lovex3]

You can hold the little guys? Awwww! I want another betta so so sooo much I'm so Addicted! Do you think you could hold Merlyn till May until I can get another tank?

Yeh I don't mean to be a debbie downer on the subject and I hope bettabum will get those guys a good home.

I'm just an cost kind of gal. . . plus there's always betta out there for researching ya know. So get a couple bucks and head to the lfs - you're bound to find one.

 

[BettaBum873]

Ok everyone who's interested in a fish PM me, so I can sort through who wants who, because I'm getting tons of requests on other forums as well so I need to figure out who asked for who first, so If you could IM me with the fish you requested and the date of the request I'll sort everything out.

A 'new' betta where I'm at, standard VT, starts at $9 at the moment. Not everyone has access to the $2.99 bettas (good thing! I'd own like, eleven-ty of them)
