| Off to the IBC convention! Well not me but my fish   After a long hard year of breeding and raising my babies this day is here! I will be packing up and sending my VERY best to the show tomorrow....
I'm sending 3 males and 3 females...I'll also be entering the photo competition with 2 of my ALLTIME favorite photos...
I'm excited and I hope to bring home a Best in Show for Fishlore to be proud of...The show is this weekend and I'll post the results when they are available...
Once again, for anyone in the Dallas TX area I'd strongly suggest you try and make this show....It's going to be spectacular! There will be so many Bettas to enjoy and admire from all over the world...

| Good luck! I still can't get over how amazing your bettas are  That female in the 2nd post has such long finnage, I would have thought she was a young male  Thanks so much for sharing this with us. Its so exciting for us to watch your progress, and your betta kids get even more amazing with each spawn. I bet that out of all the bettas from all over the world that come to these shows, yours are by far the most pampered and loved. |

| I can't imagine a more beautiful fish than the one in the first pic! The bettas there must be stunning. Fins crossed for you here. lol
I guess releasing eggs in a show tank isn't a good thing? |

| I have somehow managed to keep myself to one betta, mostly because I don't have a place for another tank in my room.
The best of luck, MM! |

| So fabulous - all of them. But I want the blue boy with the white ends on his finnage - is that called a marble?
Absolutely the best of luck to you! And have fun! |
