marc Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 My name is mark and I,m from Brisbane. I have enjoyed reading your site for a long time. It seems to be used alot and has great Betta topics.I thought I,d come out of the woodwork and say a big Gidday to all. I love Siamese fighters since I was a kid, 40 years ago. But I only started breeding them a couple of years ago. At the end of last year, I constructed a fish room in the garage to house all my Betta offspring. I only have 3 breeding Pairs consisting of Blue VT,s, Red,blue crownies, and (forgive the description) another new pair of steel coloured super delta x butterfly somethings I think ? As you can see I am a novice, to the new varieties and are totally amazed with what's available... I have 60 jarred offspring with 60 on the way, with plenty of scope to experiment and expand further with Betta genetics. My present selection criteria has been if I like the colours I,ll cross them and see what happens. I Know now that their is more to it than that. regards Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figure_8 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Hi Marc - Welcome! The fabulous colours of bettas can really suck you in can't they? I think thats how they sink their fins into a lot of us in the beginning http://ausaqua.net/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif If you'd like to post up a couple of pics of your fish I'd love to see them & we could certainly identify your 'somethings' for you look forward to seeing you around the boards Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc Posted January 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Thanks for the welcome .. Regarding pics , I'd would sure like to find out more on those 2 new fish I bought so I will try to get images posted in the morning. I actually dug up the old containers I purchased them in, and they say that he is a butterfly, and the lass is a snakeskin HM . I just rekon they are both pleasant to look at and would be interesting to cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 I signed in as Marc but mark is what it should be . hope this is not confusing. I have been in the fishroom today trying to get pics Its quite hard to get quality shots worthy of interpretation .. I have blurry fuzzy fish through the camera and colours come out greener than they should .. The old camera is a digital Kodak and is not up to a good Macro shot .. If you know of any links on how to get those quality shots ???? Let me know regards mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
