Calling all Betta fish!

With Mikes approval, I am now starting my casting call for my 2009 betta Calendar photo's...We will be posting in this thread pictures of our Betta beauties....The photographs should be clear and sharp and be sized at 8/12 x 11 horizontal format...Make sure they are high resolution photo's....(keep the original off the camera if possible)

The front cover will be a collage of the 12 months featured inside the Calendar....We will have full page photo's inside...They will be professionally printed on a HIGH quality thick Semigloss paper from Vista Print Co.

We will keep the submission thread open until Sept. 1st 2008...The winners will be chosen by Oct. 1st 2008...You can enter as many photo's as you want....

Here are my 1st 2 submissions...My goal is to showcase as many color and fin types as possible...Make sure to state the name/sex/ and type of Betta fish you are submitting...

"Will" Male Crowntail Betta

Jagger is a lovely male Veiltail Betta with the cutest little pug face I have seen in a long time. He is a sweetie of the first order.

I have originals of our Betta pics, but would have to send them to you via email or IM, they're just too large to upload in a post.

lol, I picked out 10. I'll send them 1 per email since most are close to 3 megs each and I'm not sure what AOL's attachment limit is.

Hi, photos of Flash will be forthcoming. I am at the end of a semester at college and once that is done (in a couple weeks probably), I will take the time to get some good pictures. I like the pictures I've seen everyone post so far. So many handsome bettas.

Well of course Dave....if there is any left over after I buy 2 more tanks for my bedroom lol....

Actually, I'll be keeping the price so low I won't make much at all....I'm just doing this for all of us Betta lovers...And hey Dave, when are you posting the pictures??

Allie, can you please enter Mr. Peach? I think I'm going to have one of the months as a memorial page for the ones we have lost this year....
