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! :)

Blacky Dragons

Hello dragon and other betta lovers,

I am currently consolidating a list for you Black Dragon lovers (HMPK) out there to get your hands on some. Once my supplier informs me that he will be bringing in more Black Dragon HMPKs, I will have to inform in how many pieces of males and females to get for me. However, the exact date is unknown, and unguaranteed.

The ordering will be via SMS to me, acknowledging me about the quantity and gender. Once stocks arrive, it will be a first come first serve basis for selection.

Black Dragon HMPKs will be at $60 each, sorry for the steep pricing as thats the best I can set. The cost is very high as the market demand is sky-rocketing and the main suppliers do know about that. Quality will be unknown, but so far, I am satisfied. They are always fully side masked with neat, white scalings. Occassionally, there will be full maskings. Finnage is prominently good too with bettas from this supplier.(Thailand)

I will attach pictures at the bottom of the bloodline these Black Dragons will come from, do SMS me if interested. Details all explained in post.

Once ordered, there will be no refunds and buyers are obligated to collect their bettas by arranging a viewing at my place, Sengkang.

Cheers! :)

Blackie black

Hello everyone,

Too eager...

Hi hobbyists around the world,

I might have mentioned before to most of you that due to my prelims and examination in March and May, I had stopped spawning till perhaps, June. However, there were some difficulties on my friends' side regarding the breeding of my White Platiniums. With overwhelming eagerness for my White Platinium line to continue, I spawned a pair of them that I had been keeping, hope they turn out well!

Since the spawning had begun, I figured I might as well launch another project as fry food would take the same effort to produce. Hence, I've managed to cross my Gold HMPK to my White Platinium HMPK female. Not exactly a genetic genius so we shall see what we get in 3months' time. Feel free to enlighten me in the chatbox if you know, or had any experience with this cross.

Another shot of the Gold HMPK, beautiful fish IMO.

However, I doubt I will have the time to jar most of the fries, so we will see how this goes. Will probably cull intensively and jar only the best few.

And here's a great piece of news: I am delighted to inform you guys that my Grand Champion (White Platinium HMPK from Yunfeng Comp Chapter 3) had spawned as well! Will update and hopefully the fries will be looking good.

Adding on, I apologise for the lack of stocks during this period of the year, as always haha. Due to school commitments. Feel free to ask me any questions unanswered by my guides in my chatbox!

Last but not least, here's a picture of a Lavender BF HMPK I decided to keep. Selected from the supplies I got from Thailand some time back, to finish this post off. Some of you might have seen him for sale for a while back then. His sibling is great looking too and for sale cheaply as I am clearing. For more details you may check out the stocklist.

Cheers! :)

Good day my friends,

Yet another post to share some of my collections. Really hope you guys enjoy and feel free to comment in the Chatbox.

Firstly, I nickname this the Ice-cream betta, because his fancy colouration is so "milky", kind of like a flavour mix in ice-creams. Hope you guys get what I am getting at, haha. Colour is better seen "live" though, hard to capture with my poor photography skills.

Next, I am very delighted to find this colour once again, was decently available some years back, but when dragons came, they somehow, became "endangered".

This piece is for sale, check out the stocklist. Gold Halfmoon Plakat!

Next, some of you might have seen him for sale for a moment, some time back. I removed him from the stocklist because he attracted me quite a lot as a giant. This piece is about 3inches long, relatively big, but with amazing deportment which is rare in giants. Big spread and flares at my finger, so decided to keep him, haha.

Tricky on the colouration term, lets just call him Metallic Yellow Fancy Giant, enjoy!

Lastly, saving the best for the last, the highly sort after Black Dragon HMPK! Managed to grab a nice one for myself as it is very difficult to find a good black dragon, at least in my opinion. Definitely a candidate for my breeding projects after my exams.

That's all for now, thanks to all of you for the support in Bettafanism and hope you enjoyed reading this post.

Cheers! :)

My friend's red army

Hello my friends,

As a betta breeder, one of the most challenging colouration of bettas to breed would be reds in my opinion.

If you work towards colour intensity, you tend to have black scaling problem. And when you attempt to get rid of those, you tend to have pinkish irids on their bodies. Thus, to achieve a red betta of close perfection, is a tedious job of minimising both faults. Not to mention the ongoing need to maintain good finnages in the spawns. It is almost impossible by far to eliminate both issues.

After mentioning all these, I'm happy to share with you guys some bettas bred by my friend, Taufiq. Great job and courage to work on the reds!

And I really love this female!

Also, equally challenging is the Yellows, which faces similiar difficulties in getting the optimal colouration. Which Taufiq worked on too. Impressive finanges.

Hope you guys enjoyed this post sharing of my friend/fellow breeder's spawn. By the way, I will be dropping by his place in probably a few weeks' time to get some for Bettafanism's stocklist. So do drop me an SMS if you are interested in Reds and Yellows too so I can roughly gauge the quantity to bring over. Prices will be about $20-30 each.

Cheers! :)
