I ordered this Plakat betta from savage aquatics a month ago- it was my first time having a betta shipped to me. I payed for two-day shipping, but the delivery date came and went. Long story short, UPS delayed the shipment (due to that plane crash at the beginning of Nov) and this guy was stuck in transit for a FULL WEEK. My fiancé and I assumed the worst when he finally did arrive.
When I opened the package, I was shocked to find he was still alive! I quickly began acclimating him to his new tank, and was surprised at how good he looked after a week with no light, no food, and dirty water.
The moment he got into his new tank he was active- he was curious about the shrimp and minnows, checked out all the snails, and enjoyed swimming between the plants.
Since then Marble has been a joy to watch, and I’m so glad he survived the trip to his new home 🙂
Footnote- savage aquatics was fantastic throughout this process, and, if DOA, offered a refund or a replacement betta even though the delay wasn’t their fault.
