Billphil Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 After two days of chasing a pair of wild Bettas (blue Betta malachai) around South Melbourne (a quite small area) - Australia Post wasnt sure which postal centre the parcel had gone to - I finally caught up with my parcel less than an hour ago. Surprise surprise - the fish were quite happy and active. Many thanks has to go to someone for her expert packaging of the fish. I had expected to find them dead. THANK YOU someone. And to Australia Post - .....:censor: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billphil Posted August 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Hi Rod Thanks for the advice. Yes purchased them off Aquabid and they are a very nice pair...will have to positively determine exactly what they are...will report back. What else could they be?? So they prefer hard alkaline water??...please provide some further details if you will Taking photos of fish is not my speciality but I will try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
