Nearly all of the bettas you see in stores come from Thailand/Singapore.  I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash. |

Using a transshipper is best because they handle all the importing stuff. If you get caught without the proper forms or whatever you can get in a lot of trouble. Or so I here... ashley |

You will pay transshipper fees and stuff like that. But yes, it's done very regularly, and will be safe.  A lot of really beautiful fish come from overseas. |
