btwin1 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Hi all. Have been lurking in the Wild Betta section for a while. Thought I had better join up so I can join in the conversations! In the Betta department I currently have 2 "moggy" Betta splendens males and 2 pairs of B. burdigala. Today I noticed one of the burdigala males has set up a nest.... I also have a couple (*coughcough*) of other tanks with White Cloud Mountain Minnows, Rosy Barbs, Pygmy Cory and Otos. All my tanks are planted. Am on a farm so all my tanks are run on rainwater. Cheers Wendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btwin1 Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I like most of the coccina group. Just don't have enough room to set up a rack to have a selection... When I get some decent photos of my wilds I'll post them. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trada Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Ohh i see , coccina have great colour I thought , is that bubble nester ? Where you can receive coccina in Australia ? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btwin1 Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 The coccina group are bubble nesters. I purchased them from a great store (Exotic Aquatic) in Melbourne. I don't know where he sources them from. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieBell Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Hey Wendy! I'm from Shepparton! You're probably the closest 'betta person' to me. Good to know they're not all in the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Hi Wendy, Nice to see another wild keeper on here plenty of people on here with info and advice. Hope you enjoy the forum! Cheers Jarrod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever_and_a_day Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Welcome to the forums! I'm sure your betta would be loving all that soft rain water :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btwin1 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 *waves to Steph* Don't get to Shepp much but probably will next week. LOL Good to know there is someone "nearby". MT - I'm pretty sure they like the rainwater. The water is the main reason I decided to go for bettas. I'm too lazy to go for fish that need harder/high pH !! (goldfish don't like it... >.< ) Jarrod - I'm looking forward to sharing (I'm new at this but I can share pics! lol) and learning. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournebetta Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 HI WENDY. (it's 1am, what do you expect?) Lovely to see you on here, maybe hook up a photobucket account to satisfy my nosy nature? pictures! -Ness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btwin1 Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 LOL Well I do have a photobucket account and it has some of the early tank pictures on it. *g* A little frustrated at my failure to get good pics of the fish and the tank now (it's so lush - it's a total jungle. lol) One of the burdigala females comes and flirts by the front glass when she's hungry - I just can't get that good photo!
