Everything's ready and awaiting their arrival

OoOOOoOooO yey!!! How exciting!! I'm excited too, even though I'm not getting them. I just can't wait to see them and hear about all your adventures with your new babies. Congrats, and good luck!

 

[wuvmybetta]

thank you ,thank you !!!
I always get an ulcer from worry while I have fish in the mail , I'll feel much better once they're home & safe
Shipping has turned into a real hassle this time, I was told to call my post office and ask them to keep their eyes peeled for the box & to call me to come pick it up when it arrives , I'm a nervous wreck that they're going to overlook it or forget & they will get stuck on a hot express mail truck for hours . I'm going to call a million times to remind them tomorrow, try and make myself memorable

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

 

[wuvmybetta]

Thanks Mike
They're here and they're just goy-geous

They're very small since they're only about 4 months old. When I opened the box they were white as ghosts (stress) but they started getting their color back after a couple meals of live brine. Very cute . They look super tiny in their big ole 2.5 gallon tanks , but they seem very lively and attentive

[wuvmybetta]

I will asap. Sheesh are they freakin' cute today! Absolutely precious

 

[ginamoore]

I want to see pic's too! also who do you order from through the mail if you have the wedsite please let me know i wnat to do the mail order thing but have been to scared to try. i would worry myself to death. and let me know what you think about where you order from. thanks

 

[freshmike]

I am super glad that they made it ok! I would be a wreck waiting and worrying about fish in the mail!!!!

 

[wuvmybetta]

Thanks
I was worried after the nightmares that I've experienced with fish in the mail , I lost a baby front in the mail once, and they were only in the box for about 18 hours, the lady did a crappy job and his air leaked out. I bought 3 L200's from CM awhile back and they were stuck in transit for 4 days during the blackout that happened an hour after they shipped .It was horrible but they ALL survived ,love them!
But the orangeys are doing fabulous, the male started a bubble nest today in his little tank so it may be about a week or so before I move them to the breeder and see how it goes

gina...I bought them from bettatalk.com, shipping was a little unusual since I was instructed to inform my po to hold the box, which I did...repetively, and they STILL put the babies on the truck anyway , thank heavens the delivery man made it here about 11 in the a.m. so they didn't get too hot, just a little jiggled , you can also try aquabid.com ,they have a large selection of betta

Well again, just glad they got there without a hitch!
