one-eyed betta in the netherlands

Looks like she's planning to cull this cute little boy just because he was born with only one eye. If he was ANYWHERE in the U.S. I would have to have him.

Is there anyone here from the netherlands that could possibly take him?

Or it's such a cutie as well, what wrong with her keeping it, i have a cat with one eye they can survive, i find that i love them more when they are not perfect.

she cant breed him he is deformed what bull####

I have a rummynose tetra that has NO eyes, and he survives fine. I was a bit worried when I got him that he wouldn't be able to find food, but he does and he is very happy in his tank. I wish I was where she was so I could take him home, but I am in Canada. Maybe she will ship him out?

That's nuts, he's a cute little guy sans-eye and just because she can't breed it she's going to kill it. There's plenty of people who will take the little guy off her hands, I'm sure.

 

[WILDER]

People with an attitude like her don't deserve to be keeping fish in the first place.

I would SO be having that fish in my freakshow collection.

He looks like he's a complete sweetheart.
I pondered asking if she would ship, but I could never imagine putting that fish through a trip across the ocean.

Or could I, considering his alternative?!?

 

[WILDER]

He looks in excellent health so i can't see why not, better than being killed.

 

[Bettabelieveit]

He would be better off being shipped, i mean, he'll be dead otherwise, so the risk is worth his cause.

 

[BettaMomma]

I just posted asking if she's ship him to me.
It will probably cost me a hundred bucks if she agreed to it. lol

Oh well. It's not like my other bettas have ONLY cost me the $3.47 it took to get them out the door at WalMart.

I'll keep ya posted.

 

[Bettabelieveit]

I hope she does send it out. he needs a good home with someone to give him some TLC, not a death sentence.

 

[BettaMomma]

She already responded to me.

I'm really sorry but there is no way to ship him to the US for me.
It's great that you want to have it though but i seriously can't ship living animals from here. I can get in serious trouble doing that because I don't have any license to do that.

Need to find a transshipper.
Bettaman is a transshipper.

I need to contact him I guess.
Anyone else have ideas??

[BettaMomma]

AHA, but Bettaman does - and he lives right across the english channel from her.
