Age

[wuvmybetta]

I've noticed with my older boys that their bubble nests leave much to be desired as they age....my oldest male who's well over the age of 2,when he bubble nests it's really just a thick slime that forms in the corner he decides to nest in ,almost as if he still has the thick saliva but has lost the art of bubbling

Well this kind of hit a nerve with me so I did some searching but here is what I found.

That doesn't truthfully label the country they're from, now does it!

Shipping is just one issue. Parasites that wipe out your entire
stock, Growth Hormones/Steroids, Bettas dying shortly after their
arrival here for inexplicable reasons, are some of other issues that
many buyers here are experiencing with Overseas Bettas. These are
some of the reasons, why the Country thing has been coming up lately.

Now I have also been told this same thing from the two men that are experts in the Betta splenden field. If you need more proof I can get some but next time please be more polite. Comments like this:
Growth hormones???! Like they say in China when something is totally unbelievable: What a road of clap!
tend to really not further future posts. If you don't agree with me post why...please don't post stuff to try and just make me look bad. I am not always right and I put in that post that is was not fact but hear say. I don't know what more I could have done. Aern asked about a fishes length so I added to it.

My apologies, but I wasn't mocking you. You took it the wrong way. I just couldn't believe that fish distributors actually 'drug' their stock.

Me too Itty....I wish at times I could be more like my wife. She is so passive and lets things just roll as they may. As you can see I can get a litte Hot Under The Collar. No need to apologize....I was going to keep coming back Anyways whenever I post something that I don't know for sure I almost always try and put a disclaimer in there saying I don't know it is for a fact. But I have to say I love this place.
