I'm going to have to overnight them in my hotel room but I'm sure they will be fine. I may bring a bottle of dechlor and change the water before coming home.

Nah...we just have the most fish shops per capita for any municipal centre in Canada, the best fish shops, more disposable income, no PST, and more corporate headquarters than Toronto....oh yeah, and zero provincial debt. Life is 'betta' in Calgary!

I'll have to ask my LFS if they can get anything for me on special order. I know they have suppliers in Asia, if I'm not mistaken they occasionally get fish in from breeders in Thailand. I wonder if they could put in a special request for me.

Callatya Moderator The girl's got crabs! Posts: 9662 Kudos: 5261 Registered: 16-Sep-2001	Betta sp. Mahachai Betta imbellis Betta splendens ALL WILD CAUGHT! I'm of 2 minds about wild caught fish. On the one hand i'm very upset they are yoinked from their natural habitat, but on the other, with the cities and pollution increasing, we better get some captive breeding going now, or we will lose them completely. Wild caught splendens are WORTH IT. Not all that pretty, but bulky and self assured, while at the same time, very loving.

Doedogg Banned Posts: 408 Kudos: 737 Votes: 445 Registered: 28-Jan-2004	I'm taking a trip to Manhattan in a few weeks and am going to see what I can get for wild caught species. I just need to figure out how to get them home. 1 hour on the train and 4 1/2 in the car. I used to be Snow White, but I drifted. ~ Mae West

Callatya Moderator The girl's got crabs! Posts: 9662 Kudos: 5261 Registered: 16-Sep-2001	The Mahachai is 'to be described' So technically its Betta sp. Mahachai, named after the city where it was discovered. It looks similar to imbellis and smaragdina, but more turquoise...? They are THE pretty wild according to the Thai, so i bought a pair of those too.
