Thanks everyone! Here's a slightly better picture. I've yet to capture him in full flare when you see his 180 degree caudal fun spread.

Awesome! Any pics of the other male or the females?

 

[zackcrack00]

Here's my yellow. Not as colorful but a much more full appearance and nice fins.

Very cool! Congrats!

 

[Andrewtfw]

Both are beautiful, but I am partial to the one with the darker fins.

Fish look great! So, tell us about the import process!

 

[zackcrack00]

Thanks for the kind comments everyone! Well, I won the auctions and the seller sent me the invoice. I paid and selected my transhipper (the guy that has the proper and necessary licensing to import fish into the U.S.) from the list provided. My transgipper's name was Mr. Koo Yang; he was very nice. They were shipped to him and he then quarantined them for around one week. I paid him for import fees and his shipping costs and had them delivered to me today!

Wow! I never knew bettas could get that expensive.

Wow! I never knew bettas could get that expensive.

You’d be surprised
If only they were peaceful and grow to 6"

Yeah, I didn't expect that! I thought maybe $150 but it truly depends upon the transhipper. I'm conditioning both pairs for the next two weeks for breeding purposes, then I may have small juveniles by AM3.

Nice fish Zack! :happy0180: When you described importing them from Thailand, I was thinking they would cost more than that! Its not that much more than importing WC fish from Africa. In some instances, its LESS money!?!

 

[xny89]

Wow! spectacular

 

[zackcrack00]

Thank you for the kind words, everyone!
