Phil The package got hear this morning before 10:00. I opened the box then I got home & SUPRISE, my jars runneth over. Thank you so much. I must have the largest collection of C-274's outside the Cave (16). Now I have choices. Actually it was interesting when the other girls changed over. In the past I would be feeding or doing a water change & suprise! "what happened to you". This time all of them were in the kitchen, where I spend a lot of time looking at them. After seeing two of them change, I got so I could spot it right away in the other two. At first everything was normal. Them one day when I pulled the cards they didn't bar up they colored up. That lasted about three days, them the egg spot disappeared. After another day they would blow a large nest, then the fin growth just took off. It was much faster than I thought. I still think it's something in the water here.LOL.
Thank again, Phil.
All the best, always. Old Fart Rich

Hey Phil, I'm home from work and am finally able 2 spend the time admiring your fish. I suppose I should have expected as much from such a reputable breeder, but WOW. These fish are amazing. Especially the steel male you chose for me. Fate did him wrong by not giving him a full 180 spread lol. And the green male has an amazing caudal as well, with an outward bend HMx trait. This is very exciting. Thanks again!

Phil, I want to personally Thank You so much for these beautiful Bettas. I felt like a kid in a candy store as I prepared each for their new homes. I'd take a bag out, and I could feel a huge grin on my face. I can't wait to really be able to see what I have, I'm going to take pictures of them all before I pair them up. I also sooooo appreciate the 'extra' finkids you sent me. I will keep you posted if you'd like, as to how things fair with me. I'm so looking forward to this new adventure.... especially knowing you are around... ;)
THANKS BUNCHES!!!

Hi Phil,
Just a note to thank you for the Bettas. The quality and vitality of these fish is truly outstanding. The color and finnage are first rate, but the health and vitality are the best I have ever seen. I have tried fish from a lot of different lines over the years (since the early 60's) but yours are the best I have had the pleasure of owning.
Dear Phil
They all arrived great:) They are starting to settle in to thier new homes now. I love them already but i'll let you know how much better they get once they settle in:) Talk to you soon.

Greetings Olde Dragon,
I received 3 STM Royals and 1 STF, and can't believe how beautiful they are. Even the freebie, with a little TLC will recover and prove that your stock is durable, healthy, and vibrant in color and disposition. I have returned both shipping containers this pm.
Thank you so much,
Amir
Hello, I cant belive i forgot to thank you for that I even noticed it and forgot thanks you so much for it I think I have my pair picked out for the spawing they are the cleanest red I have ever seen thank you

I just wanted to let you know, everyone has settled in quite well (the fish) lol.
In fact, two of them are tending nests...big blue marble has a nest full of eggs, and the red SD you sent is tending a nest from a spawning today, especially if he is old :) lol.
I just thought you'd like to know that everyone is happy, and that I have some great daddy's :) lol.
Your fish spawned and they are both old, my fish just look at each other...lol. Guess I got a bunch of fish that refuse to spawn...he he :) lol. We'll see, I threw in some new fish...hopefully my marbles from SEBETTAS will spawn :) lol. and my opaques will decide they like each other :)
Thanks again for everything. :)
Hello,
The fish arrived Tuesday morning in great condition. The red male was a little light in color, but has darkened up nicely. All boys have blown huge bubblenests. Everyone eating with a healthy appetite, and flaring at everything (me included) so I think they are going to be quite happy here. Their tanks are where they can see everything that goes on, so they have plenty of mental stimulation. I can see plenty of potential in them. I have three opaques that I bought from BettasRUs, so hopefully, with the ones you sent me, I can get someone to spawn. I have not had much luck with the first opaques I got. They are quite timid. Yours don't seem to be. I am absolutely enchanted by the little blue grizz male with a lot of blue on him. He is a real character already. After one night here, the top of his tank looks like a bubblebath, and he is strutting around showing everyone just how handsome he is. I really look forward to his offspring The fish are all quite beautiful, and the variety does offer some interesting breeding possibilities. Definitely not the last order you will get from me. You may certainly use this email if anyone should have the nerve to wonder if you have good fish, or offer great service. I rate you the highest of anyone I have done business with . On a scale of 1 to 10, I give you about 26. Thanks so much. Let's be thinking what the opaques are worth/what you charge, and settle that fairly soon. I am certainly satisfied.
Sincerely
Linda
Ye olde Dragon Sir:
Betta's arrived in good form. Thank you very much for the extra little lady. We'll see what she makes of that big handsome boy I have soon. :) Getting tanks set up to spawn next week with the pastels again (covered this time so the boy child doesn't upset him into eating his fry) and a marble male and turq. female. Next set will be singing the blues. :)
Will get your box back off to you next week on my day off :)

Hi Phil:
Everyone arrived in good shape, still a little dazed but seems okay.
They are beautiful and so young and vibrant. Thank you Phil !!! you're the best! And thanks for the extras’ you’ve included, they’re great, every fish has it’s own distinctive quality in color and finnage. We’re looking forward to work on breeding them and see what pops up. I’ll get your box and the balance of the payment in the mail, probably Monday.
Again, thanks so much for your bettas and your tips on betta.

Hello Phil.
I just wanted to let you know that the FCB was my first show. I got 2 second places with the F1 generation of fish I got from you :). I saw you swept the black class...congrats.
I was fortunate to sweep the C7 class and get a second in the Opaque male STM class....very exciting for me.
Thank you for your fish....and all of the advice.
