| 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" Help me on his type guys lol  Last edited by Martinismommy; May 8th, 2008 at 03:07 PM.

| 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.
