Hi Mervin, I am also a betta fan. Unfortunitly I have not had the chance to obtain some of the species you mentioned. I would love to get some if I had the chance. I just dabble with "regular" bettas. Good luck with them.

Hi Mervin,
NM is New Mexico. If you ever pass through New Mexico or Arizona, let me know. I would love to get my hands on some different types of bettas. Keep us posted on how the wild bettas work out for you. Best of luck with them.

Hi Mervin

You have a lovely collection of Bettas there, the first mentioned 2 are very tempting,

When will you be coming over to this part of the world? Drop by Canada :D

Cheers

If you could, it would be 'vely good' It was quite tempting for a few friends of mine who were in Bangkok for 2 months to bring back some. But they wouldn't know how to take care of it either ... so .....

They shure are sticky about things like that ... but imagine if you could bring it in .... wah liao .... :lol:

You are so BAD! S'pore laksa is good ah .. tau sar piah ... yummy ... aaarrrggghhhh ... you were supposed to bring Bettas and mooncakes, not the other goodies 8O

I am married to a Canadian ... wanna drop by to update me what is going on back home?

I am not like Zapisto :wink: I would expect to see YOU at my front door with all the goodies :lol:

I will prepare Chicken rice (from scratch) for you ... hehehehe and maybe Zapisto can join us for lunch / dinner as well. Have we a date then?

That would be nice, give us (Zapisto et moi) sufficient notice then, will go chicken hunting ... hehehehehe ... 2 chicken kampong enough or not?

I know that the travel plans are determined by the company, but am sure you could persuade the secretary to add a few more sectors on the ticket, no? :lol:

We will ... you just remember to bring the Bettas on your next trip.
