Article on Malachais and their taxonomy + species status:

Betta learning tricks: I am always talking to my friends about how intelligent some bettas are supposed to be, and starting to design experiments in my head. Any thoughts?

I love that link. It's got loads of seemingly objective and well researched articles. Hours of good reading I say.

 

yea, i've read those and that's true.

 

Is anyone involved with IBC?

 

Nope, not me.

 

we've been to one of their shows a couple months ago and talked to the president of their NE Florida chapter and the president of their Denver, CO chapter but that's it.

 

I've heard really good things about them.

They were pretty friendly at the show and it's very interesting how detailed the judging guidelines are for betta shows. we watched a part of the presentation on judging bettas and it's quite a job.
