Welcome mate. I'm not too far away, I'm at Medowie but not too many others around Newcastle on here. I currently have a few wilds and have spawns of smaragdina and Mahachai but are a few months off maturity. Plenty of information on here or people to help so don't de afraid to ask

Is it a new tank?

Yeah mate I have four already. They slow down the algae heaps

Hey Brenton, I know nothing about plants but am having the same dramas as you trying to get some plants in my sorority and wild tank to stay alive so if you find a solution please post it as I will if i can sort it out

Wow! That is impressive. I'm sure my missus would leave if I had something like that

That is awesome! I have been tempted to get a nano reef for a while and looking at yours has probably put me offer the edge.

Just thought I would share my new spawn method The biggest downside to keeping bettas is the water change and I have a barracks but needed something for growing out fry so I came up with using a 15l storage tub with a 4l in top with a dripper in the bottom. I put a 1/2 inch elbow in the big tub with a hose for drainage. Now I just fill the 4l and it changes its self

hey melbournebetta, i have bought a nice BF HM from someone already. I have also been watching your spawn log. I find it quite interesting to see what you colours you can get from those two. Here is a pic of my new boy.

Hello all, my name is Craig and I'm from Newcastle, NSW. I have owned bettas from pet stores for years and only a while ago found out about the massive range out there. Currently I have no bettas but would love to get into breeding, I'm currently trying to find a pair of hm butterfly to breed. Can't wait to get to know you all and find out more about this hobby Craig
