wow, u can buy bettas on ebay? how much $? can u give me a link??
October 4th, 2008 at 12:09 am
i don’t remember the exact link for the bettas on ebay. all i did was enter blue black orchid betta in the search engine and different sites popped up to click on. go from there. altho i will tell you this site. the fish are wonderful, gorgeous, amazing!! i’ve bought a grand total of 18 fish from this site, two of them black orchids (breeding pair). http://bettysplendens.com/articles/page.imp?articleid=1040
i would recommend buying bettas from this site (her name is Victoria) to anyone. like i said before, the bettas are amazing and reasonably priced. the 18 i purchased are gorgeous fish. she has pics of the fish you buy so you get to see before purchasing. you know exactly what you’re getting.

I was lucky enough to come across two of this coloration at a pet store near my place, I paid $40AUD for one, not sure if the other one sold, he is the most magnificent colour and very active.

I saw this fish the other day at a local fish store and could not stop thinking about him. I left work early today and went to the store to buy him. I was happy once I got there and the fish was still there. He is mine now. He is in a 30 gallon tank and so far so good. I paid $16.99 for him. He is just gorgeous. I have five other bettas and he is the coolest. WOO HOO.

I have one of those rainbow betas that have been “selectively bred”. If I find a mustard gas or an orchid beta, i’m buying it right away!!
