hungryemo Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 Hey, So, I've never been very good at introductions. I'm in Sydney and I haven't had fish for probably over a decade but we're now looking into getting a 5 foot tank and beginning our hobby. I'm completely in love with Bettas, so will be gradually stocking (cluttering) my house with some good sized tanks to house the males seperately. I still have heaps of questions regarding the keeping of our preferred fish and figured I'd be better off asking the pros on here! Cheers!
Bettarazzi Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 That's a perfectly good introduction. Welcome! :)
mumofthehoarde Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 it isnt cluttering...it is decorating with style!!!! Welcome!!!
SiameseFightingFist Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 Welcome! Would love to see some photos of your set up once you've got them up and running.
melbournebetta Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 Didja hear that guys? We're the PROS... ohhh yeaaaaah! OH, hi Hungry... welcome and all that.... looking forward to hearing more about what you like about betta - fav colours and tail types etc. There's some talented breeders around if you're looking to stock tanks with lovely fush. Much better than your Local Fish Store numbers. 5 FEET! now THAT's a delicate (re)entry into a hobby... I must say! (Sounds like a premo grow-out tank to me!) x Ness
hungryemo Posted October 5, 2011 Author Report Posted October 5, 2011 Having only really been looking at Bettas for a few weeks now, I have to say that my favourites change on a daily basis. Though, Halfmoon Butterflies are always jaw-droppers. Though, after seeing someone's Big Eared Lavender Butterfly Halfmoon Plakats (mouthful!), I'm starting to sway. And, ugh, I can't even look at the Bettas in my local Aquarium store. They're kept in containers so small, they can hardly move, all stacked on one another and none of them flare anymore. Actually, none of them move, so... The pet shop down the road at least has a filtered barracks but still... pet stores worry me. So I'm definitely going to buy from a breeder here (messages with available fishies welcome! Price isn't an issue. Though that $1000 Betta better be poop gold dust!). :D
Sara_01 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 Another Doctor Who fan I see best of luck finding some fishie-wishies, very addictive though :P
2littlerevheads Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 welcome, i hope u find what ur after with starting with ur betta's
Matt_95 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 Welcome Hungry! That pair is absolutly stunning, I've seen them in person and they are great! I say go for it! :D
hungryemo Posted October 5, 2011 Author Report Posted October 5, 2011 Is there any other kind of fan than a Doctor Who fan? And don't tempt me... I don't even have my tanks here and cycled yet but I must've watched that video about three dozen times now. :blush:
sha Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 And don't tempt me... I don't even have my tanks here and cycled yet but I must've watched that video about three dozen times now. Likewise I was going to order them but decided to sleep on it, next day they were sold and I am left staring at cycling tank wondering what could have been.
