As some of you might remember, I found a pure white crowntail betta male with a bit of yellow on his head, and silver, making him "white-platinum" color. I dubbed the "angel" betta. He was still at the pet store after 2 weeks, and has gotten thin and weak. I just so happened to ask if the owner of the shop has ever shipped bettas before since he orders and ships fish stock to breeders. He does, and so I got this idea. Let me nurse Angel (named after his coloration and Angel from Buffy tv series") back to health, and then one lucky person on here can adopt him for free perhaps if you'll give him a great home (plus get a bag of free hikari betta pellets which I suggest feeding him), and I will pay the guy to ship him for me. He does Overnight shipping with a heat pack since the nights got colder. He will probably be strong enough to ship around October, hopefully first week, but it depends all on him.
I havent got a picture yet, will try tommorrow. He admitted the betta hasnt been fed since he got him (so thats 14 days plus during shipping), and he was using water from the goldfish tank, so Angel is a bit ill and underweight, but he is already improving in the 2 gallon tank I have him in (my only spare tank) I added some brand new water dechlorinated, epson salt and aquarisol to his tank to reduce stress, and it's working wonders for him, plus the water is warm now. He ate good though so thats good news.
I will NOT give him to anyone who will fight bettas or put him in a tiny unfiltered tank, he is special to me and I want him to live! I am on the borderline if I would accept someone using him as a breeder, would prefer him not be, his fins are too fragile and nice to be torn up in my opinion, but he is a stud and I dont know genetics fully, to me he looks pretty darn perfect! I would LIKE to see him in his own 10 gallon if possible, with a slow moving filter and lots of live plants. I hope that it would be someone who has had bettas before and not had cycling issues or anything like that, I know accidents can happen, but I feel like a Parent looking for the best possible home for him.
I am feeding him hikari betta pellets, and frozen bloodworms/brine shrimp/daphnia, so I would like someone who can feed him these foods (or live foods if you dont have frozen), No Flakes please!
I can only ship in the U.S., and would prefer someone living in New York state, I live in NY, and want him to get shipped as quick as possible so hoping someone in NY can be his Parent.
PM me or post here if you are interested.
