Where do you get them from?

[casperkitty]

You all have such beautiful bettas where do you get them from?
If you purchase them online do you all have any advise on reputable sites to check out.
My searching ability is lacking today and my results seem to be limited even in EBAY. (I’m not using the correct words I guess.)

I currently have a 10g with 2 tetra and 2 danio even though it’s not overstocked it’s just not big enough for the little guys to swim around it. I’m going to be moving them to a 55g in order to give them more room as well as increase the number of both types to at least 6+.
This will leave my 10g open for some new arrivals. I’m planning on dividing it into two which should make a nice comfortable home for a couple of betta.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Aquabid.com is a great place to start.

I'd also personally recommend Betty Splendens:

BC Bettas:
http/www.bcbetta.com/

BlueBettaUSA:

Better Bettas:

Classic Bettas:

These are all ones I've dealt with personally. I know there are so many others. If you look at the IBC page's "Member Sites":
http/www.ibcbettas.org/members_sites.htm
you'll find links to many sites that sell bettas here in the USA

Are you up around Cincy? I was born and raised in Louisville and I'm right across the river now in Indiana. There are several US breeders on this board that have fine stock. You might try PMing them. Yeeviabetta, Kiarra, and Wuvmybetta come to mind first, however, wuv is away right now, but will be back in a few days.

 

[casperkitty]

WOW Thank you very much.
I'll check out the sites and will also contact those that you listed.

I'm about 15 min. from Cincy

Another good place is Colorado Crowntails...if you are not going to show she sometimes has ones with minor defects (I can't tell on mine) up for adoption so you only pay shipping.

Yes . . . but still, you have Bettaman! He's got some absolutely gorgeous fish. I stalk his posts just to drool over the copper male in his sig.
