wetnoses Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Hi Everyone I am fairly new to fish, only a few months but in that time I have become obsessed. My partner and I went from 1 tank to about 30 (or more if you count jars and plastic tubs!) and I have always had a betta in my life but have just recently been trying to breed as well. I have had two successful (well we'll find out if the second was successful when I get home) spawning and hatchings. Still working out all the kinks and this forum will be a lifesaver I expect! Live in Brisbane and would be very keen to get in contact with other Betta enthusiasts or breeders here, buy some fish from you, just learn some ropes. Hope everyone has a great weekend! My purple grizzled that have laid eggs, just waiting for the little hatchlings to pop out! He's a GREAT dad, very obsessed with his nest, a HUGE nest. Daddy being very diligent! http://s1056.photobucket.com/albums/t376/wetnoses85/?action=view¤t=20120301075349.mp4 Talk to you all later!

shadoh Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Hey there wetnoses! Welcome to the forum. Always great to meet another local betta breeder/enthusiast That is a beautiful pair you have - especially the female. I really love her colouring, it reminds me of a female that I raised in one of my spawns... You might be interested in our local Brissy club, Betta Australis We are a group of Betta (and other fish types) keepers and breeders who get together once a month to talk and learn about all things Betta... We even get to have an after hours shopping spree in LFS - what more could you want Our next meeting is March 20th. Keep an eye on the forum in the coming week or two for an announcement.

melbournebetta Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Welcome to the forum - you're in good hands, there are some vetrans in the north! I love that female too - she's a stunner. Are the pair from Fish chicks? and if so do you know who the breeder is. (: -Ness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks shadoh!! That will be amazing, I'll have to check out when the next meeting is. The female is gorgeous she was a big part of the decision to get the pair. I did get them from fishchicks but never found out who the breeder was. Thanks for the welcome...so excited to have some contacts in Brisbane!
