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...

Such gorgeous babies. You know I'm a sucker for the blue girls. All your bettas are exceptional, but your girlies are th best.
Oh, The Blue male at the top aint' half bad either. (Actually, he's quite striking)

I can't believe the colors. I love looking at your pics. I'm hoping we can go to the show this weekend if my hubby is not working or it just might be me and the kids. I can't wait.

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.

All of your Betta's are striking. The blue and white male is probably still my favorite. Would love to have one like him.

Best (hopefully in show) of luck, MM!

Got a phone call last night letting me know the competition is VERY stiff....There are a few red dragons that are outstanding and may just blow by boys out of the water lol.....O'well, it's all in fun! All my fish are doing well except one of my girlies blew her eggs in the show tank grrrrrrrr

I'll keep you posted....The judging is today so keep your fins crossed!

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!
