2 Koi bettas available from koi Dumbo batch, these ones didn't get dumbo fins so will be priced around same as my regular galaxy/nemo koi (they carry the recessive dumbo gene however so are valuable!)

1 cellophane betta who never got her colors, also she has a mild deformity that causes her to spend a lot of time at bottom of tank, will be priced accordingly

First come first serve, no holds at this time, local pickup only at this time. No refunds, returns or exchanges at this time as this is last of stock.
🏠 Burnaby Brentwood area
No Shipping at this time.

All others have been claimed via DM, I have one hold back that I'm keeping from the batch for now until I decide they are ready to go or I can part with them. And one rehab koi female from a different batch, DM me if interested about her, she will also be priced accordingly. Otherwise this is last of my stock for a good long while :) thanks everyone 💕

12/19/2023

Dumbo koi betta batch will be uploaded later today and they are ready for new 🏠s! All female! Local pickup only (must be able to pickup from Burnaby) First come first serve.
Sorry for any inconveniences but I need to clear out the last of my stock fairly quickly. These will be the last bettas for a while 🥲

With a heavy heart, I'm taking a step back from breeding bettas for a bit. My health has just been continuously declining and I'm no longer able to keep up with the meticulous daily care of raising fry. This year I've had major surgery, complications from surgery and just worsening of my already chronic health conditions, and I'm not able to dedicate myself to this like I used to :( I do plan on breeding again, but need a bit to rest and recoup while I figure out what to do next about my health.

I will most likely be re-🏠-ing the rest of my bettas except a select few I'd like to keep for myself. I'm not ready to part ways with my equipment yet so I'm going to keep it in storage as I do hope to continue doing this one day!

I will continue breeding shrimp, and selling plants and various other small aquatic species and tropical plants! I've canceled my website as I won't be listing anything on there anymore, just on here, as it's it's monthly cost I don't want to absorb if I don't have to! (My domain name is still active however, but website just shows ads if you go on it)

I would definitely love to keep sharing cool tidbits, tips and fun photography on here until I get breeding again, so feel free to still follow this page as I'll still be active 😊

My messages will be set to automatic if I'm sent a message in messenger, just explaining I'm on a break. If looking for plants or shrimp However feel free to still message!

This community has been the best thing thats ever happened to me, and I've loved every second of raising bettas, and I thank you all again for all your kindness, support, and dedication ❤ it's been a crazy amazing several years!

I'd love to see glow ups, and pictures of fish I've $old over the years to my wonderful followers if anyone would like to share in the comments below!

I will be updating the website tonight at 7pm with two new bettas. These are non waitlisted fish, and will be first message first serve. Must be able to pickup this weekend or before Wednesday, ans must be able to e transfer in advance.

Priority will be for local first as I'd like to re home these guys before my surgery next week :)

*Edit I just realized I can ship Monday lol so Shipping Available only if you can do this coming monday, plz message me for a quote, anyone within BC if harbor air reaches you it's $20 same day with harbor air shipping*

Thanks!

06/08/2023

Some more rare plants available as I purge down my cuttings
These are all compatible with hydroponic growing (can grow solely in water, out of a fishtank etc) as well as all make good terrerium plants or keep them as gorgeous houseplants as they have been already acclimated to living room humidity! These plants thrive in pretty much any medium, but do prefer a chunkier aroid soil mix if planting in a dirt medium.

Shipping Available on orders over $50, shipping is at buyer's expense and risk. Canada wide 2-4 days shipping with Canada post is $20-26, or for 2 day or next day shipping please DM me for a quote from UPS or purolator :)

Local pickup in Burnaby

No pests, and use beneficial bugs for pest prevention

Please note these are RARER and Uncommon plants not just typical houseplants, and that is why they are more pricey! For any of my followers who are fellow collectors!

Sneak peek! 🐟👀
I'll be doing another photodrop later today 😄

03/22/2023

Hi everyone, all my current male available bettas have sold (with the exception of a few breeding males I may be looking to re 🏠 in the future) so I am going on a temporary hiatus while I wait for my baby dumbos to grow out!

If you don't see any new facebook posts that is why :) I will be slow at answering new messages as well, as I'm finally taking some me-time and getting away from social media a bit 😅

All future breeding projects have been put on hold while I work on some personal stuff, but I will post as soon as I get back into it 🙏

The next followers give away is still happening, so let's get this page to 700 followers if we can in the mean time! Lots more fun goodies up for grabs.

Hope everyone is enjoying the sunny weather 😎

03/12/2023

Let's help this chill dude find his new 🏠!
The 💲 has been reduced on the website!

03/08/2023

Thank you everyone for 600 likes and almost 700 follows! I will be doing another give away at 700 followers 🥰 in the mean time enjoy me feeding these Lil koi Dumbo cuties ☺ they are starting their color transition and it's pretty neat to see.

Disclaimer: they are growing out their swim bladder issues as baby bettas have to eat 3x a day so they may swim a little weird or look a little floppy! 😅

My other batches have been put on hold while I deal with some health related issues, but I promise I will give updates as soon as I'm feeling better ❤

03/05/2023

All 🦐 must go!
Last of the wild type neocaridinas
About 10 left
$3 each

02/15/2023

Hi all! I haven't posted my tropical plants in a while and I have a few props and cuttings available! *these will only be listed here and not on website*

I will list which ones are fish tank compatible, and which ones are terrerium plants or just plain houseplants!

Comment "me" under the photo of the plant you want, there's only one of each

A few commons and a few rares, I collect rare and hard to come by tropical plants so price reflects this!

Shipping Available for orders of $50 or more, must add insulation and heatpack to order as well as it's still very cold out (extra $5). Shipping costs are at buyers expense and risk, 2-3 day through Canada post for approx $20 for small box or $26 for medium box, or next day through UPS (I'd need to get a quote for that one)

Local Pickup is Burnaby Brentwood mall area

Gorgeous day for shipping on a flight at the harbour!
Mr. Bumblebee koi arrived safely in Victoria within an hour✌🌄

01/09/2023

In the process of cleaning their tanks so thought I'd upload a progress vid. Some are just so shy omg so excuse my rummaging through the plants to actually find them because they're camera shy 🙈
Kind of disappointed that only 3 seem to actually have dumbo fins, but just means I have more reason to do another generation ✌ So for everyone on the dumbo koi waitlist, if you are no longer interested because most don't actually have dumbo fins, it's ok, I'll send message closer to when they are ready in waitlist order and for those who are still interested will stay on the waitlist, for those who aren't, I will take you off to make room for people who are more interested in the koi aspect of them 😊

Just a heads up so far they mostly all look like females

Thank you for your patience 🙏 ☺

Thank you so much Danielle for this update video on your fancy yellow girl! She named her Flounder which is such a perfect name! 💕 In 2 months she has really morphed in to her vibrant fancy colors! She was so happy that Flounder is a very personable fish and gets along very well with her toddler, always happy and excited to say hello 😊 *Customer wanted me to add a note that the neon tetra in the back is OK just eggbound and is under observation and improving* Thanks so much to all my customers who send update photos and videos, keep em coming 😁

Hope everyone is having a fantastic Thanksgiving! 🍁🦃💕 Speaking of thankful, we've reached 600 followers on this page as of this past weekend! I'm so grateful for all of you and the love and support you've all shown, it really helps me to be able to keep doing what I'm doing! I started Betta Babe 3 and a bit years ago and now have this amazing online family where I've met so many wonderful people ❤ I will be doing a 600 followers giveaway sometime soon so keep your eyes on the page for updates ✌ Here's a sneak peek at some of those dumbo koi babies 🐟 the one on the end seems to have a spinal deformity, but is doing fine for him/herself thus far and it doesn't seem to be impacting their health at all. Also all white baby with black spots is a leftover my previous koi batch, and she's grouped with these babies for now :) What are you thankful for? Comment below and let's spread some good vibes 👌

Update: 2 females left Only 5 females left! These ladies have had quite a nice deepening of their colors in the past few weeks. The dark blue almost black female is giving off super fall vibes! (Dumbo NFS) I'll have to take some updated photos to pit on the website because their colors have changed so much since last photos! *This weekend only if you buy a betta you get a free neocaridina shrimp!*

Vid part 2!

Peek at some of the HUGE giant females up on the website 🤩🤩 I cannot believe how big they are!! Sorority deal on this week, 3 females for 70, 5 females for 120 🥰 (Facebook won't let me upload two videos in one so I'll upload the next video in another post!)

I've contacted everyone on the yellow fancy/ blue marble waitlist who were waiting for a MALE and two people have decided to pass so if I don't hear anything else by tomorrow this guy will be up for grabs :) I'll post some of the pictures I took tomorrow afternoon! Please send me a message if you're interested and I will be posting him on the website tomorrow in the later afternoon 🤩

Stay safe during the heat wave everyone 🙏 ❤ Beans and I are cooling off by doing some tank cleaning and water changes! 🦜 (Don't worry this my plant tank and I don't use any chemicals or medications in it, the water is bird safe :)) Remember for your fishy friends to turn your tank heaters off so they don't over heat! This can lead to organs shutting down, dropsy, lethargy, and other health problems. 🐟 Take care everyone 😚
