Supporting Predatory Fish Keepers

Hey fish keepers,

Bettafanism will not have the current pool of betta lovers gathered here, if not for the forums used to channel you guys. So I think it is only fair that I give the forums that I support some promotion here.

For senior readers here, I had introduced certain forums throughout these posts. One of which isn't really maintained anymore, while the other is Arowana Fish Talk, a huge based and active forum.

Today, I would like to draw the attention to Predatory Fish Keepers.

Some of you out here probably aren't just sole betta lovers, but fish lovers generally. Personally, I had met many of you guys with the interest of keeping other aquatic fishes, such as predatory ones.

Ranging from stingrays to arowanas, they are amazing hunters and majestic to view. So for those of you readers out there interested in starting a predatory fish community tank or seasoned predatory fish pet keepers, feel free to venture into this site with amazing photographies. The owner of the forum is a great photographer!

I will highlight the other forums that I support a few posts down the road, so for now, do refer to the new link page on the right side of this page. The forum links will be under "Bettafanism is a proud supporter of these forums".

Cheers! :)

Spawn, my competition fish, and seminar updates

Good day my friends,

Regarding the Betta Judging Seminar in my older post, here, it will be held on 11th September, not 9th. And the venue will be Serangoon CC. All the details can be found here: http://www.arofanatics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=473522

Hope to see familiar faces.

Now, here's a quick update of the upcoming spawns:

In just a few weeks, I will be releasing my Black Dragon Spawn, as well as a 2nd Black Dragon Spawn which includes some Red Dragons. Hope they all turn out beautiful.

Coming in 2 months+, Super Black and White Platinium HMPKs. Mega spawn on the blacks, once again, haha. Do pardon my love for posting pictures of fries, I love it when they cluster together on the surface at this age.

Next, let me show you guys some of my new purchases for the upcoming competition. Especially liking the Lavender BF HMPK!

Finally, I have a new influx of great quality stocks, do check them out in the stocklist! Some preview below:

This "blur look" picture cracks up my day, I hope it is the same for you too.

Cheers! :)

More details on the Betta Judging Seminar, and X'treme Competition is here!

Dear friends,

With regards to the previous post, I will provide more details of the Betta Judging Course/Seminar. It will be hosted by my friend Alfur Tan, official post: http://www.arofanatics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=473522

In summary, it will be held on the 9th of September, 9am-3pm. Venue is to be confirmed.

This seminar will be like a "Basic Theory" for the entire Betta Judging Course, which is of 2 phrases. After this seminar, a certificate of participation will be given as proof of a graduate from this "Basic Theory". From then on, my friend will try to organise the 2nd phrase of the course, whereby participation in this 1st phrase is strictly required to qualify. So the 2nd phrase is sort of like a "Final Written Exam".

Please do note that the 2nd phrase of the Betta Judging Course will be a totally seperate event from this particular seminar, so details will be unknown for now.

For those that are interested (including those that SMSed me, as the list I gather was just a rough gauge of attendence for Alfur to understand if it is worth organising.), please SMS Alfur Tan your Name, Nickname (optinal), and NRIC number.

Alfur Tan: 98001351

For eg.

A very important thing to note is that, after transferring of $50 to Alfur, please do keep the receipt. It will be a form of verification during the seminar, so please remember to bring it.

Next, I am extremely(pun intended) happy to notify you guys that the next X'treme Betta Competition is around the corner. I will be participating with some entries, hopefully they will do well. To keep things simple as I am not the organiser, please refer to this link: http://www.arofanatics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=470548

Sneak peak: The trophies look downright awesome, once again.

Thanks everyone, and have a nice day!

Cheers! :)

Certified Betta Judging Course

Hello fellow hobbyists,

Having kept bettas for many years, I've been to several competitions as a viewer or competitor, but never as a judge. I didn't mind attending a Betta Judging Course to get myself certified, but the courses are always held overseas, thus, I gave them a miss.

Today, my friend gave me a ring and to my delight, he is organising a Betta Judging Course to be held locally(Singapore). Without much hesitation, I agreed to be on the attendence list.

However, in order for the event to be successfully implemented, he require a certain amount of attendees. Hence, this post is to spread his word around for anyone in the betta keeping hobby who wish to bring the hobby to another level.

Further details will be confirmed as time goes by, but the registration fee is estimated to be about SGD$50. Also, it is a one time course with an official certification for you, to be valid for a lifetime. With these said, anyone interested in attending the course, please do SMS me.

Let's hope the course will be a success!

Cheers! :)

Happy National Day

Hello people,

Happy National Day to all Singaporeans! Took this holiday to do some water change and jarring. The Turquiose HM spawn is way too humongous, so I guess I will be selling them young, perhaps next week. Do note they are still very small in size but not to worry, price will be cheap too and many to choose from. Just jarred about 50. Notice some with already 170degrees spread.

Jarred a few of the Black Dragon HMPK spawn too, and I am happy to share the developement of one piece that I jarred 3 days back, looking alot like his father. Hope I will yield many more quality dragons from this spawn for the competition in Sept. Enjoy!

A new Fancy HMPK Female in stock as well as a Turquiose Masked OHMPK, do check them out.

Have a great day ahead!

Cheers! :)
