Sooooo I was at the lfs today ... we all know where this is going :lol:

I knew it was dangerous to go there on the day they get more fish. I bought the most gorgeous pure white short finned male and a lovely little translucent white girlfriend for him. They're in a divided five gallon with a filter, heater, and live plants. They dont look like a million bucks just yet, but I'm willing to bet they will in a few days. The lfs just got them today and the females were all in one tank, rippin' at each others' fins. I took one look at the male and fell in love. :wub:
 
Um. Worked out to $10 for the pair? That's Canadian dollars. The female was the standard $3 that my lfs charges and the male was $7, which is a couple dollars more than the usual bettas. I live in a small town with one lfs... we don't have $1.99 bettas here. I'd have paid twice as much for this boy, though. He's really just sooo pretty. I'll put him in my sig so you can see him.

You're very lucky! The breeders that ship bettas to the lfss here (Petland Discount stores) are stingey and keep the nice ones for themselves. The last shipment I saw, the store got a dozen new blue ones. I would have gladly paid twice as much what you paid for your white male. Oh man, I'm so jealous! :angry: Someone just shoot me.... Oh well, the window shopping continues.... :eek:

Ugh, I hate when the LFS stocks all Blue ones! I mean come on! We need variety!! The LFS near my dorm stocked all red ones one day. I was so mad.
 
Thanks wuv. He's a real little gem. :wub: His gf thinks she's some sort of tuff guy, flaring at the oto on her side of the tank. :rolleyes: (I couldn't catch the lil brat when I moved his buddies to another tank, so he's in there alone.)
 
On Aqua, he's beyond gorgeous. I'm joining the "Jealous of Your New Bettas Club"... :lol: I would love to have white ones, I've never even seen ones like that in the stores before. They're just amazing, I'm happy for you, but also extremely bitter towards you... :p If you were someone I didn't like I might hate you... but it's ok cuz you know I love ya. :D

*mutters* I got a girl but she's all grey ... nuah newahhhh... and Aqua hadda get a pretty white one.. bleh kiiiiii!
 
Thanks Julie!! I :wub: you too. :D I'm loving this guy more and more by the hour. He's looking much better this evening than when I brought him home last night. Maybe I'll get some decent pics of him later. :nod:
