End of Xtreme Comp Part II

Hello folks,

This will be a continual post from the previous, as it was way too brief. So here we go, the picture of my trophy! Felt the need to mention that Team Xtreme puts in alot of effort in their trophy design, it looks downright sweet even for a mere 3rd placing.

New member to my "collection" that just started last year. Despite years of betta keeping, I finally decided to participate last year, haha.

Next, a shot of my Orange Grizzle HMPK which participated but did not get into any placings. Nevertheless, I really like his form and colour combination. Might be selling him, do SMS me your quotes if interested.

That's all my friends, hope to see you guys after my exams. (Starting next week!)

Cheers! :)

End of Xtreme Competition

Hello passionate betta keepers,

Today marks the end of Xtreme's Best of Best Halfmoon Plakat Betta Competition. Its unfortunate that I am unable to turn up due to school but thanks to my friend, Louis, I managed to bench in two of my fishes with his help.

I didn't have plans to join the competition initially, but the growth of my Black Dragon HMPK convinced me to finally do so, coupled along with my Orange Grizzle HMPK. And I am very pleased to announce my Black Dragon achieved 3rd placing in the Dragon category! Nice try for my Orange Grizzle though, haha.

Yup, it is this fellow alright, the same piece from my previous post. Beautiful fellow. Congrats to the rest of the winners as well! And if you have missed the competition this time, do try to catch the biggest aquarium event - Aquarama, this late May. Enjoy betta keeping!

Cheers! :)

Up up updates.

Hello hobbyists around the world,

Ever since I started Bettafanism, there have been numerous requests from foreigners to export my stocks to various countries. Due to circumstances, I had to reject these offers. I thank you guys sincerely and it's an honour to have interests outside of Singapore. I will explain why I cannot fufil these requests.

Firstly, to export fishes overseas in Singapore, I will need to have a transhipper license which only a few of Singapore's fish farms have the rights to. A simple blogshop like mine will never have the rights.

Secondly, the transhippers in Singapore deal frequently with neighbouring countries such as Thailand and Malaysia. Hence, to collaborate with them to ship to places such as USA and India is almost impossible as well.

Thirdly, being a small scaled, hobbyist-oriented blogshop, sales have been done in a view-and-agree on the spot system. Thus, cases of refunds or replacements are very rare. I cannot really afford to practice the standard protocol of "replacement when dead on arrival".

I hope my explainations will give you guys a better understanding of Bettafanism's situation in shipping bettas. Once again, I am very thankful for the kind support. Now, I proudly introduce some updates of my Red Gold HMPK spawn and Black Dragon HMPK. Very delighted that my Black Dragon HMPK gained a full masking!

And good news, my Super Black OHMPK spawned with a fabulous Super Black female borrowed from my friend. Will be raising them eagerly as I have high expectations for this spawn!

Cheers! :)

Some update of fries...

Hello Bettafanism Patrons,

With regards to my Gold x White Platinium spawn, here's some updates. Finnage is developing very well, the end result is the old school Red Gold colouration - Shiny whitish scales on the body with a bit of golden touch, yet not as thick of a dragon. And with a uniform redness on the finnage. Seen this colouration years back way before the dragons emerged, didn't know they can come from pure Gold x pure White Platinium.

Remember the Black Dragon HMPK I posted some time back? He is the father of a spawning project I did jointly with my friend. Unfortunately, its a very small spawn of 2 pairs. Thus, we kept one pair each. Here's my male, it's a pity that it is such a small spawn. Only 1month+ in age.

Cheers! :)
