The betta pictured is the exact one you will receive this guy is from a metallic koi line breed by me fed about 7 different kinds of food very healthy and active. During extreme heat summer months shipping will be expensive and includes a insulated box with ice pack when needed. During winter Shipping will be expensive and includes a insulated box and heat pack when needed. If it is to cold or to hot your order might be canceled due to temps being to extreme to ship the fish. I also only ship Monday and Tuesday.  If you are concerned about the temperature in your area you can contact me to ask if it safe to ship fish to your area. My fish are kept at 7.2 max Ph with soft water meaning a low tds basically. General hardness or GH is at around 3 to 5. My DOA policy is if fish arrives dead I need a picture preferably video of fish still in bag unopened within 30 minutes of delivery. Please do not purchase a betta and try to put the fish in high ph above 7.4 and hard water. Your betta will die and if not they will not have a happy healthy life. 7.4 ph max with soft to moderate soft water with temp from 76 to 80 fahrenheit is ideal.
