Quick, shall i buy him???
by crystal Thu 6 Aug 2009 - 23:07
Whilst browsing ebay i found this guy and am very tempted. Hubby has given the green light, even though i think he's a touch pricey! Here's the link

Just my personal opinion, but for £29 (inc postage) I'd want better scaling.

i prefer the red dragon hes got for sale lol
but that one is nice - if your looking to replace albert with a yellow hun then wait until you really find one you want - this one isn't very yellowy really
i would wait for one you really want unless you really want him
hes got 29 days to run

This is why i'm umming and arring! I really need to fill the gap that Albert has left but want some sort of yellow halfmoon. There is a hm butterfly on there as well but i don't think he's worth what the seller is asking either! Ooohhh Albert why did you have to die!!!!!!!

The scaling will not get better with age and he is not 3.5 months old. None of his fish are this young. But either way he is a nice fish but i would wait until you find another one as he aint the best ive seen, if you want him for breeding then dont, the anal fin is too long and youll get crap fish. I'm in an open and honest mood tonight so im speaking my mind :D

they all seem a bit pricey hun
my advice would be wait until you find the right one
i know its very very hard but one will come up and he'll be gorgeous

That\'s cool, thankyou all for being honest, i can\'t stand people that lie just to try make you feel better! I thought i\'d ask though cause i thought he was overpriced but hubby is trying really hard to make me happy after losing my boy. I\'m gonna hold out for a real stunner, or at least one that really grabs my heart!
Im not sure if i can put it on, cause a link was deleted the other day from the same seller, i think he\'s banned from here or something?? Um i\'ll try, but you take the blame cause you asked lol
Deleted!

The Hm Butterfly, again IMO, is very pricey for what is not a good example of a Butterfly. Not when you compare it to the ones that Tilly has just got and our old guy Taro who cost about the same.

I used that seller, my only complaint was that the fish doesn't look the same kind of colours as the pics. Am I allowed to say that?
Um, ok the link was deleted. Guess not. Sorry mods.

hubby really fell in love with Casper was his first betta unfortunately died 2 weeks after we had him - no idea why - did everything right - lost both him and scar in 1 week of each other
casper - hubby wants to replace him but we cant find another - i didnt think he was all that but hubby loved him

£16 is about right for this one. Its a nice fish and has fairly good lines. Too expensive though for what it is. I would expect the BF to be perfect on a fish of that price and the tail to be in a better condition. Caution needed on this seller though as there have been a few complaints! why not go for a nice hmpk from van and netty!!! :D or my red capped boy on ebay is a little stunner, plug plug plug!!! lol
