Faith, I just picked up my bettas at the post office.  They all look great!  And the adoption black splash female is *so* precious!  They are all floating in their jars/tanks, acting very curious.  Thank you!  I will send your box back as soon as I can (it may be a few days, depending on if this next hurricane hits us, but don't worry-I won't forget.)  Thanks again!     S.KASEN, FL

 

Hey Faith! I wanted to let you know that I did receive the bettas (btw, thanks for the two extra females)!!  They all arrived healthy and happy!  Wow, I especially love the emerald dawn pair... they're georgous!  I'm glad I snagged those!  I will be sending your box back on Monday, and will certainly (of course) be purchasing from you again!    Thanks! M. RUHTER, IL

 

Wowwwwwwww!  The Fish are AWESOME!!!!!! Thanks so much for the freebie.  I can't wait till I can breed them.  Thanks for all the time and effort put into shipping them I can tell you really care about your fish.  I am slowly getting them used to my tank water.  I decided to feed them a little in their bags.  They ate 3 worms each. (I made sure to wash them)  Thanks so much.  I will try to send the box back tomorrow if possible, if not I will ship it Monday or Tuesday. Thanks so much I love your site and Love your bettas! P.S. I love your accent hehe. A. Siltumens, WI

 

Hello!   I picked the fish up from the post office... and believe it or not, one of the postal clerks also breeds bettas and had a whole bunch of questions.  Well, I can see why the Purple Crusader male (blown tail) was so heavily discounted... but once again, you have a satisfied customer here!  The Ivory male is already making a bubblenest- I can't wait to breed them!   Thanks again! M.Taira, HI

 

Good morning.    Pick-up from post-office was successful.  All of the fish survived the trip. (...) Was astounded by the size of the Goliath. Time to go and get them acclimated.  Good work and thanks again.    E. PAINTER, PA

 

Hi Faith,   The Post Office actually called me to let me know that the package was there! I've got them and the are in great condition (besides being alittle tired!) I will ship your box back to you as soon as I can, it may be monday before I can mail it to you, but I promise you'll get it back :) Thank you for everything, I'll let you know how they are doing once I get them in there bowls. Thanks again, A. Ruot, SC

 

hey Faith the fish arrived today all alive and counted for. They're doing great, floating in their tanks right now and have even eating a bit.  Thanks so much for the extra male.  He's still very handsome even w/ that tail hahaha.  Well thanks again and I'll send you your box right away.  I LOVE MY BETTAS!! thank you meg M. SNELL, WI

 

H   Just a note to let you know the Bettas arrived and both are alive and appear to be in good shape.  Thank you so much for the wonderful packaging job.  I will send your boxes back to you on Monday (October 18).  (...)   Thanks again for such a professional transaction!  I have never had any other than the petstore variety before, and am very excited to get this new pair set up and comfortable (but will not rush it...I've fully read your instructions included with the fish).  And I do hope to spawn them at some point in the future (hence the order of the cultures).  :)   All the best to you and your business,   R. YOUNGMAN, ID

 

Good morning.  I have received the bettas in good health.  Thanks for the quick turnaround, and thanks for the extra betta!   C. KWASNICKI, NY

 

Hi Faith, Both betta arrived safely and am now floating their bags in their new home. Thank you!   M HECOX, CA

 

My second order from you was just as terrific as the first.  Thank you for the pair of Lemon Meringues and the little Blue Splash female betta.  I love, love, love my Lemon Meringues!  You have socialized them so well. They are not afraid of my hands and they swim up to me when I look at them in their tanks.  The two are quite gentle (not flaring), inquisitive, and just darn cute!  They adapted quite readily to their new food and new home, a divided tank.   The Blue Splash is very cute.  I always wanted a nice marbled fish!  She was so pale when you gave me her bag I didn’t know if she was a black or blue Splash!  :)  But she is now coloring up slowly, but very nicely and beautifully (thanks Bettamax!) .   (...) Again, thanks for the wonderful fish.  I am sure I will be placing a third, fourth, (and so on) order(s) for more. Stacey (local customer)

Hi Faith! Had a question about my fish that I got. First off let me tell you how happy I am!!!!!! They are BEAUTIFUL!!!  I cannot get over the female satin flame or the free Melano! You are the best betta person I have every dealt with.  Thanks so much for all you do! (...) Thank you for all your awesome awesome help! Will be ordering again soon! A. I. SILTUMENS, WI

Your "babies" arrived yesterday and are all doing great.  You forgot to tell the older one that he was not supposed to get out of his bag before I let him.  I left him floating, and he was out swimming around by the time I got back home to release him.  Oh well, he was a happy camper and is still doing fine!  I love them! I. SMITH, TN

 

Hi Faith!   I wanted to let you know that my bettas arrived safe and sound! The post office handled this shipment beautifully (despite all of my worrying ).  Everyone is in great shape. There are no blown tails and all fish seem really alert.  The females seem to be a particularly feisty bunch!  I'm acclimatizing them now.  I'm very lucky in that my pH is 7.5-7.6, the same as yours, so it's just a matter of acclimating everyone to the temperatures in their new homes.  Thank you for the two gorgeous little culls. (...)   Ok, all fish are in their new homes. The females are hilarious...they're like...ok...where's the food? The males are all much more temperamental. I think they're feeling a bit humiliated by the whole experience. ;) How typical!   The java ferns are gorgeous, as well. They've been given fertilizer, and one bunch has made it into my planted discus tank, where I'm quite certain it will do well.   It was more than a pleasure doing business with you, Faith. I'm sure this is only the beginning of my betta obsession.   Your fish friend,   -N. RIEK, MA

 

Bettas arrive fine.  They were here early in the morning.  Very nice fish.  Thank you. Your box is already packaged and ready for UPS pick-up this afternoon. S. POLIN, NJ

 

Hi Faith, WOW !!!!!! This is my 3rd time ordering, You are amazing. I just received my Holy Grail Opaque Pair & My Dream catcher. FAITH !! THANK YOU soooo much for the free additional female"s (Holy Grail Opaque & Green/Red). They are truly breath taking.  My words can not express how professional you are, and the care you put into your fish. I will most definitely will be ordering again soon. T. PATRANA, NJ

Hi Faith!   Thanks for the great group of betta ladies and also the free male.  He's acclimatizing in his own 2.5 gal tank right now, the girls are acclimatizing in the 20 gal community tank.  I think they were cold when they arrived (bags felt very cold to the touch), but they all look great and survived the trip.     My husband went and bought me a 45 gal tank yesterday and as soon as it is cycled the girls will be moved into that one so there will be tons of room for them, and even more plants to hide in, etc.  Thank you also for the CD, I just put it on the stereo and have it playing as I type this.  You have a wonderful voice!!  I love your music, very nice. :) Thank you again for all that you do  :)  I will get your box back to you via Priority Mail on Monday.   Many blessings, R. YOUNGMAN,  ID

 

Hi Faith   Just to let you know that I was able to pick up my bettas at the Post Office early this morning and they seem to be fine.  I did nearly faint however, when the first bag I lifted out of the box was all steamy and had no water in it!!!!  I thought "Oh no!!!!  The fish is dead and out of water!".  Dumb me....forgot I ordered the Java fern!!!!  Little fishies are floating in their bags acclimating to their new digs.  Oh, and thank you for the freebie and extra plant.  Have a nice holiday and hope to acquire more bettas from you in the future.  Oh, and I will get that box back to you!!! S. DESITO, CA

 

Hi Faith! Thery're here! They're wonderful!!!! Thank you very much!!!! I really liked the "green" gift you sent! I have a wonderful piece of driftwood in my 115 gal, that has been waiting for something special. The extra fish will go to very good use, as well. I'm still at a loss about who I should pair the albino gt female with. Any suggestions? And have you had luck working with them? I have to get back to work with them. I'll send you a note when I ship the box back to you. I'll use "the usual" (lol) label to send it back! Take care, and get ready for the holidays!! Earle  E. FISHER, FL

 

Hey Faith!!           Just lettin you know i got my bettas nice and healthy. There a little dull but i dont blame them. Thanks for the extra Java Fern and Free Betta. I let you know how the spawn goes and tell you what the babies end up looking like. But unless the little male (named him flame) can get as big as the huge female you sent me it might be harder than i thought. But ill keep you informed on how there doing and thank for all the help.           P.S. ill be shipping the box back ASAP              Merry Christmas,  S. SMITH, AZ

 

Hi Faith! My husband (a mail carrier) personally drove my bettas straight from the post office to our house right after arriving off the big mail truck.  They arrived home about 10:20am.  All I can say is that all of them are GORGEOUS!!!!!  I am so happy with the CT pair, they are so pretty.  Thank you so much for the blue HM gift!!  He is awesome!  And, the CT juveniles.....they are so cute!  I can't wait to see them grow.  Once again, you have another very happy customer!  Thanks again and have a Merry Christmas! S. JACK, NM

 

Hi Faith, I am just e-mailing to say they've all made it -- from the looks of them happy and healthy.   Both females and two out of the three males were very active when I started to unpack them.  Only the green male seems to have lost any color, but he is swimming around in his bag trying to check out his new 10 gallon tank -- so I think he's coming around...  Again I want to thank you for the plants and all of the fish, other than my problem of coming up with names for them, which I'm guessing will take a day or two to see what their personalities are like, I think I'll be glued in front of their tanks for the next couple of days (other than when I have to go to work). Also, will be boxing your box and mailing it back to you hopefully today, but absolutely no later than tomorrow. Thanks Again For Everything, K. CRANE, OH

 

Good morning, Faith!! Received my babies this morning. They are beautiful, thank you for the adoption little cellophane, he doesn't look too happy right now but I will take special care of him and pray, medicate and pray some more. The Lord tells us he watches over the sparrows, I'm sure our betta babies are included. I hope you have a great Christmas and New Year, Look how blessed you are! God is soooo good and faithful to his children!! I will be praying for your continued success!! I am sending your box back this morning, look inside :)! Luv ya, M. Garpne, TX

Thanks Faith!   Just an update....all the bettas are doing wonderful.  All are so active with great personalities.  My marbled CT male already has a H U G E bubble nest going and the CT juveniles just LOVE to eat (but hey...can you blame them???) Thanks again.  I will be sure to send pics. of the young'ens when they get older.  :)   :) Sara Jack, NM

 

Everyone arrived safe and sound. They are all pale, a bit cold, but active. The heat pack was still warm. Thanks a bunch. I can't wait 'til they settle in and start showing off. L. PETERSON, CA

 

Hi Faith,   Just writing to let you know that we received the new members of our family & plants all in mint condition.  We want you know that they will be WELL taken care of.  And we look forward to doing more business with you in the near future.    Sincerely,   E. WALTERS, USVI

 

Just to let you know, the bettas arrived today, Saturday, January 22.  We will package your box / materials and get that enroute to you on Monday.  Joseph (my son) was thrilled to death with the bettas - he is very proud with his purchase.  He is only 12 but very responsible and mature for his age so you need not worry that they have arrived at a good home.   M. SHULTS

 

Everyone arrived safe and sound!  I picked them up at the airport at 08:00.  Thank you so much!   We are so thrilled to have them as part of our family J!  O.K., well back to settling in.             Kristine, Jakob, and Kelton PAOLI, TX

I appreciate the adoption betta because I know I can get him back to excellent health in no time! Thanks for making this transaction a smooth and happy one! I appreciate it!   Thanks again! K. VOLLENTINE, GA

 

Today i got my the bettas I ordered from this other site. they were nice and warm i was so happy ~ got em into their respective tanks *looks right* *looks left* they are very nice, but they cannot hold a candle to yours .. shhh !! our little secret.. even your little cull is prettier than this boy.. The male I got from that other site is not as green and shimmery as he looked in their pictures and his head has blotchy brown spots. The girl is just big for her age and just ....you know blue.. no comparison with your fish! I know where i will always be ordering my fishies for sure from now on: YOU! nite nite T. KRESSE, NY
