Collection sharing

Great day guys,

Shall do some picture sharing of my little collection, please enjoy!

Lavender BF HMPK, 2nd placing Kelson Competition. Finnage grown quite a bit.

My little pride, from my White Platinium HMPK Spawn at about 2months' old. Maintained the fiesty character of the older generations and yet, slowly gaining the body mass I wanted to achieve with this spawn. Hoping to groom him into a winner! Could not capture his full flaring form as he is too active.

Thank you for reading and hope you enjoyed.

Cheers! :)

Shifting down the gears...

Dear brothers and sisters,

It will be sad to announce that due to circumstances, Bettafanism will be slowing down on the breeding of bettas. I had decided to focus purely on the breeding of my White Platinium HMPK line, as I will be extremely busy here on to handle mass spawnings.

Stocks taken from suppliers locally and overseas will still resume, but will probably be at a slower paced rate. So feel free to check back to Bettafanism every now and then, weekly will be good!

Thank you everybody for all the kind support all these years, and do continue to support! From here on, I hope to continue producing great looking White Platinium HMPKs for future competitions.

So in other words, I will be selling my entire collection of Black Dragon HMPKs. Including the participant for the last Yun Feng competition, as well as my breeding stocks. Which I promise are good stuffs.

So do SMS me to arrange an appointment for viewing. Preferably this weekends.

Cheers! :)

Some information for tomorrow.

Dear bros/sis,

I recently posted up my sales page in Arofanatics. Hence, I might get alot of SMSes as the weekends are approaching.

However, do note that I will not be free on Saturday(tomorrow) unless it is about 10-11pm. Viewing/collection of fishes are best to be done on Sunday. SMS me only on Sunday, 12pm, as I will not be able to reply on Saturday. Notify me which fish you are viewing to ensure stock availability. I should be free to entertain sales from 2pm-6:45pm.

Thank you for all the support and do take a look at my stocklist. I sell betta adult and fry food too, with postage if requested. All information are in the links found on the right side of this blogpage.

Cheers! :)

X'treme Events 2011

Greetings readers,

Happy belated mooncake festival to all, hope I am not too late in wishing everyone here wellness.

This blog post will be about the extreme events that have taken place over the past weekend. Organised by Team X'treme, of course, haha.

Particularly sunday, whereby the Betta Judging Seminar took off, in Serangoon CC. Despite rearing bettas for about 10 years now, this is a classic case that new knowledge will never fail to greet you. Learnt tremendously lot from Mr Hermanus (Head of IBC Betta Judges, Zone 6) who came all the way from Indonesia to conduct this seminar.

At the end of the day, everyone's delighted to receive their certificate of attendence. Step one is accomplished and I do look forward to continual seminars.

Next up, like the rest, we headed towards YunFeng for the prize presentation of Xtreme Betta Competition 2011. Thankfully, out of 5 entries, my Lavender Butterfly HMPK made it to 2nd place in the Bi-colour category. Still upset with my White Platinium HMPK (2nd place in Kelson Comp a few months back) for losing his form after a spawning attempt that turned out to be a sparring match with the female.

But it's okay! At least I did not end up empty-handed, what a relief!

Here's some shots of the prize presentation, as well as the awesome looking trophies!

Lastly, I am happy to show my growth of my collection of trophies. Built a new rack on the wall to hold lighter ones. Currently holding the 3 trophies from Kelson's Competition.

Finalising my post, the better looking Black Dragon HMPKs will be for sale. Hence, my Black Dragons will be selling at the range of $8-40, depending on quality. Feel free to SMS me for viewing arrangements.

Cheers! :)

Post Arofanatics Carnival

Good day patrons,

Firstly, I'm so sorry I did not post up details of a recent event - The Arofanatics Fish Carnival, hosted by the forum, Arofanatics. This should be the first ever fish carnival held in Singapore. I will take this opportunity to promote the main forum I started out with, and still active in - Arofanatics.

For those who missed it, please refer to marshy73's youtube channel, a senior moderator of Arofanatics. He captured quite a number of videos of the event - http://www.youtube.com/user/marshy73. It is a pity there isn't any videos of the betta section.

Looking at the videos and the scale of the carnival, you should have a rough picture of Arofanatics. Yes,  it is one of, if not, the biggest fish forum in Singapore. The forum covers almost every single type of aquarium fish, and of course, I roam about the sub-forum for Bettas.

Being an event to celebrate its 10 years' anniversary, Arofanatics launched it's annually published book, entitled: "A decade of of fish-keeping".

Over the years, I did not purchase any editions of the book as there were no incentives to do so. Things are different for this year, I will be featured in a small page under the "Hobbyists' Profile" in the Betta section. So needless to say, I bought a copy for memorial purposes, haha.

Here are the pictures, kind of nice to see myself in a book. Even if it is just a page. Overall, the book is well worth the money, filled with highly professional pictures and enriching information on a vast range of fishes.

Next up, another sneak peak of my upcoming White Platinium HMPK spawn. They are growing well and should hit adulthood in a month plus. Colours are clean and finnages are looking to have high potential, can't wait!

Lastly, I will finish off this post with some pictures of the fishes for sale in the stocklist. For those that are new here, please refer to the links of the right side of this page. You will find stocks and betta food for sale in the "Stocklist" and "Food for sale" hyperlinks respectively.

Some pictures of the Black Dragons, 10+ are fully masked, only at $10 each. (round edges)

A randomly jarred Turquiose HM fry, from the "40 pieces for only $20" clearance sale. These are definitely not culls!

Many other HMPKs for sale too, so do check them out.

Cheers! :)
