Some new additions

Hi to all betta fans,

Other than being a betta seller, I am myself a betta fanatic as well and hence, do keep a small collection of bettas for my personal viewing.

With this post, I would like to share with you guys 2 of my latest additions, please enjoy!

Firstly, will be this young, little, fiesty Red CT. Very good deportment at such a young age, I really enjoy watching him flare and dart around aggressively. Let's hope he will grow up well. As usual, my photography skills are kind of poor, the fish looks redder "live". Perhaps the ketapang water plays a part to make him paler looking.

As we chatted around, some of you might know that I do not have very much interest in giants. (For those who don't know, giants are much bigger sized bettas developed a couple of years back.) However, this piece captured my attention with his stunning finnage. I do know there are many giants with such impressive finnage around too but the prices are usually very steep. This piece, however, is relatively cheap to me for such a quality.

Lesser of words, and here comes the picture. He is about 2.75 inches in length.

I hope you guys enjoyed this sharing session, which ringed an idea in my head. Perhaps you guys out there reading could share with me some of your collections too! Simply E-mail the pictures to me at lcl.walter@gmail.com and I will find time to compile some of them up into a post someday for all to share.

Cheers! :)

The Dragon

Hello Betta Frenzies,

Just posting a random information sharing post. The "Dragon" colouration had been a hit since their introduction a few years back. Many of you might understand the colouration criteria well, so the aim of this post is to help those who are new to betta keeping with regards to venturing into the vast range of betta colourations. My information might not be 100% correct, these are what I learnt along the way, so feel free to correct me.

White Platinium

White Dragon

The major point to note in a Dragon is its thick, white scalings. Unlike White Platiniums, the scales are thick and chalky white, which will look like armour plates tiled side to side. Pictures are attached above for your reference.

Next, I will touch on identifying the colour type. As mentioned earlier, it is critical for Dragons to have chalky, white body scaling.  Hence, the finnage colour determines the colouration. Example, a red finned fish with white scalings will be a Red Dragon.

I hope this small little information post will help those still confused with the Dragon colouration. One fact to point out is that Red Dragons are the first of the dragon kinds. Lastly, some pictures of different dragons will be posted below, do enjoy!

Black Dragon

Orange Dragon

Gold Dragon

Red Dragon

Updates of Whites, Spawn II

Hi there betta enthusiasts,

I had been selling my White Platinium HMPKs for a while, and currently, Spawn II is slowly being sold out. Most of the males in the $30-50 range are sold. Currently, the males available are at the $10-20 range. They are still of good quality though, straight edged 180degrees tail spread. Furthermore, I will be jarring my Spawn III soon.

The main purpose for this post is to share that I am yielding fantastic females! Because I tend to jar males prior to females, I am just now starting to jar the remaining bulk of females in the community tank (About 30). A few days of jarring had passed, and I am very pleased with the finnage they are developing.

I quickly snapped some shots to share with you guys, please note that these females are indeed for sale. In the $30 - $40 range, very good price in my opinion for such finnage on females. Quite a number to choose from.

Hope these beautiful ladies brightened up your day, as much as they did for me.

Cheers! :)

My precious white

Hello bettalovers,

Sorry for the lack of posts as I am very busy with school.

In this post, I will share with you guys the picture of my Grand Champion at the last YunFeng Chapter 4 Competition. As requested by some of you for pictures, I am so sorry I am very late in fufilling the request.

Personally I feel he does have some faults, very lucky to get the GC win. However, his deportment and big finnage probably won the judges' hearts as well as mine in selecting my whites for the competition.

Here you go, do enjoy him!

I intend to write up a post regarding his parentage and how he came about, will try to do so when I am free, haha.

Lastly, I noticed some newcomers of Bettafanism had been looking through the older posts for stocks. Please note that all stock updates will be in the link "Stocklist" on the right side of this blog.

Cheers! :)

Very happy moment!

Hi Bettafanism readers,

Sorry that I am rather busy lately and did not blog about the ongoing YunFeng Competition at YunFeng Betta Farm (Pasir Ris). Sent in 3 fishes and I am extremely happy that they all brought back glory! The competition is open to public till tomorrow, 5pm.

Remember these bettas that I had posted some time back? The Red HMPK and Blue Masked HMPK won 3rd and 2nd placings respectively in their own colour category.

Adding on, I sent a young White Platinium HMPK from Spawn 1 of my White Platinium HMPK spawns (I have 3 spawns at the moment.), and I am very pleased to say that the little, fiesty fellow won the Grand Champion! I have no pictures of him yet, but will update soon.

Regarding pictures of the competition, I will try my best to get some pictures for you guys after I head down tomorrow as I did not drop by today. Once again, I am very happy to share my joy with you guys, thanks for the support, have a nice day everyone!

Cheers! :)
