Skitch Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hello there My name is Karina and I'm from SA. I live in Port Pirie at the moment but will be going home to Adelaide in a couple of months! Woo . I've always kept bettas pets since a very young age. I love them so much, they are very beautiful! We have several betta tanks spread through out the house in different rooms. Unfortunately I was one of those people you all probably frown upon who kept their bettas in a small bowl without filtration or heater because the petshop sold it to us and told us it was okay.. but one day when I was searching for some information about bettas I came accross all of this information and learnt so much more about them! I felt pretty terrible that I'd been keeping our fish in conditions that weren't even close to ideal and started to update my bettas habitats immediately! They all now have much larger tanks with filters and heaters and seem so much more happy and active. Despite our lack of research, my Mum and I did once have a semi sucessful spawning of bettas.. unfortunately my mum switched the filter in the breeding tank on a little prematurely and all of our little bettas were sucked up and killed. It was pretty devastating! Poor little things . I'd love to try breeding bettas again one day but definitely wont try again before researching alot more! Look forward to talking to you all. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
