my references - volume 7

feedback from customers who have purchased my bettas

 

Well… (...) ALL TEN OF THEM have ARRIVED SAFE AND SOUND!  :) *SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!*   They are SOOOOOO beautiful!  Even as "paled" and pissed off (and boy are they pissed off)  as they are, they are still more than I could've ever expected.  :D   You truly DO kick all Betta-Bootie!!!!    The pictures you post don't do the real fish justice (and even the pics look incredible!)  I promise - they'll all be spoiled completely ROTTEN!   ;)  This being my very first ever internet fish purchase, I didn't know what to expect.  I've read pretty much your ENTIRE site now (including every single last one of your references), so I wasn't TOO worried.  However, I still had a few reservations.  You have COMPLETELY and TOTALLY put faith (no pun intended <g>) in me to continue to buy BettaTalk Bettas for years to come.  :)   The service and quality you provide are beyond exceptional, and it's blatantly obvious that you truly love your little finned kids.  Carrie - who's going to leave early today to get the new kids home.  ;) C. ROLLAND, TN

 

Faith, I just got my new bettas and they're gorgeous! They are very healthy and active. Thanks again :) L. ANTONUK, PA

 

Hey Faith!   I GOT 'EM!!!  The people at the post office were like, "The package has FISH in it????"   :-)   They are so small and cute!  I never bought any but the petshop ones that are already full grown!   Thanks so much for the extras!!!   I'm even excited about the orange cull - he's particularly cute and feisty!   I can't really tell too much about them right now, since they're pale from stress but they're all very active and look like they've come through just great.  I haven't totally unpacked them since I'm still at work, but the water feels kind of cool, so I have them sitting on top of the peanuts right now to warm up...they will be fine in there bags until this evening or even tomorrow, right?  I am planning on starting acclimation this evening, but have an unexpected engagement now.    One of the guys at work made a joke about them swimming in Windex...I assume there's some conditioner and stress stuff in there to keep them cool and composed.   Anyway, THANKS!  I was gonna send your box back today, but since it's cold here, I'll need it to get them home and I'll send the box tomorrow.   T. SCOTT, KY

 

Not to be a suck-up, but your bettas really are the best I've ever found.  I have bought on-line before, and your packaging and strain quality are far superior to anyone else.  Thank you! S. FARBER, MI

 

Faith, Sounds good... someone will be around to pick them up. Thanks again... can't wait to see them. I really admire what you've done... it takes a lot of time and effort. Keep up the awesome work! Also, thanks for getting back to me so fast... I didn't expect to have them shipped so soon! ty again L. ANTONUK, PA

 

Got by bettas! I have 3 healthy males!  I am so excited.  So are they, they are frisky little buggers.  Especially the cull.  They came in the 1pm express mail today.  I argued with the USPO for about 20 minutes about holding them, but I eventually got through to them.   I am marinating them as we speak.    Thanks again for shipping your bettas!  You provided some great information in the box.  Oh, that will be coming back to you soon!   M. FARRAR, ME

 

Hello Faith! The betta order (4 plakats, blue/green halfmoon female) has arrived safely! No need to fret, your children are in good hands! They are currently acclimating happily. They're gorgeous critters. I love the females, and I'm glad I had the chance to pick up a couple extra. Thanks again! Hope to order from you again soon! J. MARRON, MD

 

The betta fish got here A-OK.  They're currently floating in their little bags in the tanks, acclimating.  Thank you for your excellent job shipping!  The heating back was still warm :D Thanks again, L. BROWNING, LA

 

Hi Faith. My daughter and wife picked up the Betas today and they are doing just fine. Beautiful creatures. Don't worry, I stopped them from releasing them from the bag until tomorrow. If you want me to keep you posted on their progress let me know. Thanks for taking such good care of our babies while you were raising them. I hope we can do as good a job. I will let you know when we let them spawn. (...) J. MONFILS, WI

 

They arrived just fine on Friday. I no longer have internet access at home, this is the first I could let you know. I am stopping at the post office tonight to mail your box back! Thanks Faith, they're beautiful. J HOBBINS, OH

 

Bettas safe & happy :)  Natalie has claimed the turquoise pair, and the ct's are now Hilary's - good thing I got both pairs or I'd be in trouble!  They've now joined the ranks of Xtremely Spoilt Bettas!   Thanks again,   Cheryl &  girls, FL

 

Hi Faith - I received the bettas today and they are alive and well!  (...)  They are quite beautiful; very vibrant color on the male Tutti Frutti, and I've never seen a female like this one!  They are in their individual large vases (for awhile) with a little Bettamax, just for grins. Thanks for such an easy and fast transaction and all your detailed instructions.  They are a big help and practically foolproof.  And of course, thanks for the GOREGOUS fish!  I look forward to buying from you again; you make it too easy for those hooked on bettas! Oh, and I will mail your box tomorrow! Thanks Again, C. HUMBERTSON, MD

 

Faith, These gorgeous babies arrived at my home on Sept 11, 2003.  I thought I would show you how great they are doing, I'm so proud of them!  Your Apaches have got to be the most gorgeous bettas I have ever seen! D. OSBORNE,  IL

 

Hello! I just wanted to let you know that I received my little beauties, everything went smoothly.  I was so excited. (...) thank you so much.  Also I shall be wrapping your box wonderfully and shipping it off this week.  Thank you for your time, T. AZZARO, CT

 

Faith, I just got my bettas from the post office, and I am SO HAPPY you take the extra time and effort in packing them.  (...) Thank you so much for caring about the lives of your bettas.  Anybody else would have them packed in sandwich bags with a teaspoon full of water and no heater!!! Thank you again. R. MESSER, TN

 

Good afternoon I have finally made it home form the post office with the new Betta babies. All nine of the Bettas are in happy and active condition swimming around in their little bags there is no doubt that all are quite alive and look very healthy. Thank you for the two free Bettas you included with the others.  (...) Over all I could not be more pleased in spite of fires and all of my worrying every one arrived in good health  and bright eyed if a bit pale. I look forward to doing business with you again very soon.   The box will come back to you on Monday with my well wishes and of course  with my prayers concerning the fires and Ladybug's health I have an ancient Jack Russell terrier and know how precious they become with age.   Thanks Again, Sincerely SS. MYERS, FL

 

Hi, just wanted to let you know the bettas arrived safely today after much hassle with the USPS. (...) but the bettas are safe and feisty hehe. I think the female has more attitude than both males hehe, she's a cutie! The cull is still a pretty guy, far outshines my old man pet store betta (who can barely flare, his fins are that pathetic, although he did get huffy for a few when I first put them on the shelf). So anyways, thank you for the beautiful bettas! Will be shipping back the box asap! :)   :) S. JOHNSON, NJ

 

Faith, My bettas have arrived safely, thank you!  All four are beautiful and the Golden Crusaders look exactly like I had hoped.  (...) they are all feisty, active and absolutely gorgeous!! Thanks again, D. OSBORNE, IL

 

Hi Faith, Got them !!!!!!!!!!! I picked them up this morning, Saturday Nov 1, 2003, and they look GOOD !  Well had their water treated as you suggested and food for them when I got them home. They seem to be in good shape so I am happy with them. (...)   Thanks a lot, now i can get serious about breeding my fish :-) I'll most likely make a new order some time in the Spring when the weather is warm. It's still 78-80 here, I'm real close to Atlanta, Ga. So, I'll keep checking out your web site !!!   Thanks Again  :-) R. CLARK, GA

 

I picked up the bettas from my local post office yesterday.  They're in great shape - healthy, active, and beautiful.  I'm very pleased.  Thank you.   I'll ship your box back on Wednesday. D. BURKE, MD

 

Faith,     The bettas arrived this morning. Everyone looks good. I'm sure they are happy to be out of their box. Speaking of the box... I'm going to keep it...JUST KIDDING :) I'm going to try to mail it out tomorrow. Thank you again. Your bettas are in good hands.                       K KELLER, CA

 

Thank you! The arrived in beautiful shape. They are gorgeous. Even the  female cull is beautiful.  Thank you, again K. COLON, FL

 

Hi Faith , Bettas arrived all alive... 'floating' now..... Fish look good, (...) I see what you mean bout the plakats, they were all flaring like crazy, no bubbles yet...  Have a nice one talk to ya later.  S. ANDERSON, WA

 

Dear Faith: I wanted to make it a point to write and tell you how much I ~love~ the Betta Painting that I ordered in the "Betta Art" section!  I think it's amazing, the way Jerry was able to "capture" my fish, and paint him; everyone "recognizes" who it is!  I treasure the painting, and think that other Betta lovers would probably adore these paintings as well. Take Care, Holly

 

Faith   They are all here, and they are absolutely gorgeous. (^_^)   I can easily see why mom was gushing when she dropped them off at my house.   I will have your box wrapped and back to you asap.   And I will take good care of the melano cull, knowing me I will be doting on all of them.   You have a good weekend. and You will prob. hear from me in the future, ;) about another order. But that won't be till i have more space.   The buggers call to each other rofl.   M. Callahan, NV

 

Hi Faith, My Bettas arrived this morning, they look find, and I am following the directions that you sent me with them. This has been a fun and for sure different morning. I want to thank you very much for all your help and indications. I look forward to get some more fish from you. I'll ship your box tomorrow. Kind Regards, J CASTRO, TN

 

Just a brief note to let you know that my bettas arrived safe and sound this am. They are currently being acclimated to their new home and seem to be doing well at this time.   Thank you so very much.   C. HARLOW, TX

 

Faith, I got everybody!!! The satin flame and apache are perfectly healthy (and pissed):) The runts are sooooo cute! (...) Good grief! I bet they took longer to pack than the rest of your orders combined! Thanks again! R. MESSER, TN

 

All the babies arrived safe and  I will be jetting your box back to you.. Oh my thank you for the lovely birthday surprise.. What lovely wee girlies! As soon as I buy a nice camera I'll send shots. A. KING, WA

 

I am so excited!  I got my bettas today and they are all fine!  I will be sending the box back tomorrow! Thanks R. SALMONSON, MA

 

Hi I got the bettas today. They look to be in good condition and all have been fed lightly and gobbled the food quickly. I am adding water to their bags slowly as instructed. I will release them from the bags Saturday when full. The box has been shipped back today as per instructions. Hopefully they will color up soon so I can see what they look like. I'll send an update next week. Thanks Jeff

 

Faith-- I got my bettas today! Thank you so much.  I really appreciate all of the care you put into packing and shipping them.  They all look great! Thanks for the two culls, too! (...)  I look forward to ordering from you again soon.        S. KASEN, FL

 

Dear Faith , Well, I got the fishies!  (...) Thanks so much for the extra splash females!  (...)  All the females are lively and  eager to get out!  I can tell already that one of the splash females has an ATTITUDE…she was trying to  poke her way out of the bottom of the bag when I carried her to the tank! I will be sending your box back in the next day or so.  Thanks again for great fish! S LAWSON, CA

 

Faith:   They are here and all are well. We (the bettas and I) are at work. The girls all think they're so cute! Meanwhile at home I have a ten gallon with dividers, heater, filter etc., waiting for three of them. The Blue Splash pair will go into 1/2 gallon jars for treatment. Can't wait to get them home! :))   (...)   Thanks again for the beautiful fish and I commend you on your packing. No wonder you want your stuff back!   All the Best, L. BARSHACK

 

Faith,   Received your Beta’s at 11:00 today – all looks well – will send your box back in the next couple days – looking forward to listening to your CD later tonight.   Thanks for everything,   Bill

 

Faith,     The bettas arrived in NC today!  They look good!  They are swimming around and their fins are upright not laying down!! I hope to get the box in the mail today or tomorrow Thank you!! M. BOCK, NC
