Competitions

Greetings Bettafans,

Quite some time had passed since the last competition and they are finally hitting the betta scene once again. For those new in this hobby, I highly recommend visiting these competitions as they will usually heat up a higher level of your passion for bettas, haha.

For details, please refer to this link:

Looking forward!

Cheers! :)

Betta Place

Hello I-Love-Bettas-People,

For quite some time, informative betta discussions had been carried out in my Chatbox on the right hand corner of this blog. Sadly, these discussions are non permanent and cannot be refered back to.

Hence, let me introduce to you guys a new betta discussion forum administrated by my friend:




Feel free to register and post/read betta related issues there, from water management to grooming skills. I will be rather active in the forum using my standardised nickname "Bettafanatic", so feel free to ask any betta-related questions that are potentially long or commonly asked (so it can be referred to in the future).

Of course, my chatbox will still be open to betta related discussions, so still feel free to post here as well. Preferably specific questions for me or minor issues. Questions like "Genetics" are more desired for the forum.

I will also take this opportunity to remind my friends that Bettafanism's Chatbox restrict any advertising or sales related questions, thanks alot for the coorperation and support!

Overall, it will be a nice cyber place for betta lovers worldwide to chill at!

Cheers! :)

Old School Halfmoon

Hello fish lovers,

It's a fish sharing post again. This time, let me present you guys with an old school colour and finnage type. Blackhead Turquiose Halfmoon!


I guess when it comes to gracefulness the Halfmoons beat Halfmoon Plakats hands down with their beautiful and elegant fins. Considering breeding him but finding a suitable female is a problem and sadly, the demand should be low for such old school types of betta. Will ponder upon though.

Thank you for viewing and hope you enjoyed!

Cheers! :)

Gold success

Hi my friends,

Approximately four weeks ago, I mentioned crossing my Gold HMPK with my White Platinium HMPK female, and I did. I wasn't sure what to expect but I was hoping that Gold will be a more dominant metallic colour, and achieve a high yield of golds, as getting whites with gold genetics will not be very favourable. And with luck, Gold is indeed more dominant genetically and I am getting 100% Gold HMPKs from this spawn. Just to share their progress with a picture.


Hope their goldness will intensify with good maskings and finnages. Look forward to their release at the end of May! Also, there might be more White Platinium HMPKs at the end of May as well, continuing my always going White Platinium line.

Good news for Halfmoon lovers, I managed to get my hands on a fraction of a fellow breeder's spawn. I must say the finnage is really good and I am having colourations like Copper, Melano Black and Black Copper HMs. One pair is already for sale, do check out the stocklist. I must say Halfmoons are truly so beautiful and graceful with their long finnage, enjoy the pictures! However, I only have a few males (some are healing their torn fins due to fights), and a good number of females at hand, so if the response is good I will consider getting more!


Thanks for reading and have a nice day! Sadly, its preliminary papers all the way for me this month.

Cheers! :)
