Hey I know her! She's a member of my betta rescue forum: http://bettarevolution.proboards105.com/index.cgi
Her name is Nickie and she's very devoted to fish. She's my idol lol
Cool stuff.
So, update everyone:
My store only claims to sell halfmoons, crowntails, and veiltails. Sometimes we will end up with nearly all of one type. Right now, it's VTs. A few weeks ago, it was CTs. To this date, we've never had females. If a female betta comes in and she's sick, I will post it, but don't bet on there being females.
I can try grabbing others from another store in my area, but since I don't actually WORK there, it may not go. But that store sells HMs, roundtails, CTs, VTs, and some others in amazing colors. They take good care of their fish, but it happens that some will be sick. These guys have females, but the females are in a community tank in the store, so I highly doubt they would be as willing to let them go. Their thought: male betta in a cup? Not much profit. Female betta in a tank? Better profit.
So, there are your options.
Here's how I'm planning it will go:
I'll post a picture of the fish, as well as what it had, and how long it's been treated. If you like, I can do before and after. First one to PM me gets the fish.
Does that sound good to everyone?
Remember, I can ONLY grab sick fish. So if all the fish arrive healthy, or the sick ones die quickly, there's little I can do.

Hey! I just quit my job in a chain pet store... (yay!) Actually all 5 of my bettas were rejects of one kind or another. 2 of them I took home from Fish Club auctions when nobody wanted them. 2 more I brought home from work because I watched them get weaker day by day in the cups. The 5th betta is my "specially abled" betta - he couldn't swim very well and his fins looked.. strange. He was returned to the store because "he only lies on the bottom of the bowl" I set him up in a 2.2 gallon with plants, driftwood, a small HOB filter and a heater. His name is Aloysius Fish. He seems pretty happy to me... He lounges a lot, so I put in a big fluffy pillow of Java Moss. He has a pet ramshorn snail - the only thing he hasn't either eaten or chased out of the tank.
Here is his first tank
And here is his current tank

We have off-white/yellow in the store I work at. If they get sick, then we have a possibility. I'm afraid, like I said, that I just can't take healthy ones. It's not economically feasible for me, since I would have to buy the healthy fish. My boss doesn't want to treat sick bettas, that's why this works out for me. :\ As much as I want to rehome these little guys, I AM a college student with very little money.
I don't know if the Aquarium Connection (not my workplace) would ship bettas, but I can ask for you.
Also, if anyone is interested in those blue blind catfish, AC has a couple that won't sell and are they probably willing to ship. I can ask around XD
