steph Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Hi, my name is Steph. I live in Nerang on the Gold Coast, I have only just become interested in Bettas, and as I was told in the beginning they are addictive. I hope to start breeding them in the future so any tips, pointers or advice, in any way, shape or form would be very greatly appreciated, also if anyone knows where to get some really good breeding stock, could they please let me know. I also enjoy the odd quiet time on my horse, and reading, although I haven't had the time to sit down with a good book lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figure_8 Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Hi Steph There is lots of good breeding stock around either locally or from O/S depending on what you are after. The classified section might be a good place to have a browse or even put up a WTB if you're after something specific. Whoever told you bettas are addictive.. knew exactly what they were talking about! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckie Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 plakats are easy and colourful, and will also have some predictability in terms of outcome that VTs lack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steph Posted December 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Thanks for the tip, by the way my pony's name is Max and he is my sanity in this crazy world, pure arab, 16 years young, 15.2hh, chestnut and the biggest baby you could imagine, but I wouldn't swap him for the world :goodo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 OOH! He sounds lovely, my old mare is 25, arab/ASH, chestnut. She is a cow but I love her anyway! She was very sick earlier this winter but she's doing great now. I also have a TB/ASH dark bay gelding, Nero, and a TB/QH palomino mare.

steph Posted December 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Couldn't cope with more than one Equine baby, anyway Maxy would not allow it (very jealous). Too many other non- human kids and three human ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charntelle Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Hi Steph. Welcome aboard! Good to see another Queenslander here, as well as another "horsey" person. I have a QH mare that I campdraft, and about 200 bettas. No time for anything else!! Hope you enjoy it here. :goodo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 my daughter seems to be the one that ends up riding all my horses! all are out of commission atm. Prin has an arthritic back, nero was allergic to Swift and has sores, and Rosa is still being broken in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
