Aquariums West has the best female bettas I've ever seen, easily on par with Aquabid for quality. Compared to the sad females you see at other stores, Aquariums West's look like a completely different species. They don't always have them in stock (but lucky for you I know they are expecting a shipment of females any day now and they always post on their website when an order arrives) and when they do they cost around $20 a piece, but they are worth it. If you want nice females without shipping Aquariums West is going to be your only real option, just keep an eye on there website or call and see when they expect the shipment because they sell fast when they get them in, after all people usually buy them in groups and they are always top notch girls.
