CatfishEmpire Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 I'm new to the world of Betta's but have been a very passionate hobbyist for more than 2 years now, I have afew heavily planted tanks with Plecos and corys - my first loves- also killi's, gobies and assorted others. Currently working on a 4ft custom setup for Betta's So hoping to find some great advice,inspiration and contacts for my new venture as I like to support genuine breeders. Interested in Wilds and Splendens so would love to hear what other members have... Also looking at a 5x2x2 set up but umm I just have to work out where to put it.....:P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somchai2500 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Welcome. I am sure you will find more than enough information on all the Betta family . Vic Betta meeting due in May so a great opportunity to ask questions. Hope you can make it. Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournebetta Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Good point Roy - Here's the link if you're interested in meeting some of the local Melbourne breeders and keepers - lots of photos so you can see what happens at our meets, there will be a big table show this month with quite a few on sale. It's exciting to see so much energy going in to a new betta setup, do you have an idea of what splendens you like at this stage?

CatfishEmpire Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Thanks for the warm welcome Roy and Ness, I already have the date set in my calendar for the meeting it will be my first time so I'm very excited! I was recently gifted a beautiful black male crowntail I had never seen a Betta like him before as I had only ever seen the standard LFS Bettas. I started researching them including buying books and trying to find sites and clubs to join so he is the one responsible for my new venture when I get chance to I will post a picture see what you think? I would love to know more about him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournebetta Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 If you feel like it - you're more than welcome to bring him along... we don't have many crown tails in the CT class so he might just take a prize home! I'd personally love to see him, and we can tell you a bit about his genetics when we see him. Show n tell!! (: looking forward to the meet, see you there! -Ness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the forum by the way! Lemme hazzard a guess... your favourite song might be.... Edited May 3, 2012 by paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Welcome to the forum! Sounds like you have a bit of a collection there, please do post photos (unless you have already, I'm behind with the forum!) Haha, Paul - I had the exact same thoughts. Pew-pew sounds for me, and had that song in my head from the username. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatfishEmpire Posted May 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Thanks Sarah to be completely honest I've never heard of the band or the song....! So as the saying goes you learn something new everyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
