      I'm terrified, I know I've got several pairs coming, but Preecha mentioned he was going to throw a couple more in - not only is this importing bill going to kill me, I gotta find somewhere for them to live! Yikes!

      Spare barracks anyone???

      Well, mods... we promise we will use it! Fish chat would be fun.

      Caudata.org, the salamander forum. We are so salamander wannabe owners haha (although I do have axies, which are sals).

  3. Secretly wishing photobucket had uploaded my 800+ holiday pics lastnight while I slept, turns out it crashed after 4.... who'd have thought 8GB of photos & video would kill my connection - wah... lucky i have no life, and will be doing laundry and updating the forum on a Friday night.

      *cough* Reminds me of a very nasty accident I had in the fish room.

      Axolotl pellets. Never. Ever. EVER!!!

      I didn't even have time to see if it were salty, was too busy trying to get that TASTE out of my mouth. Gosh, I felt bad giving them to the 'lotls after that - they eat anything I tell you!

      *cough* Righhhttt... I wasn't going to let that slip...

      I too have tasted fish food. Blabbing away, got hair in my mouth while I had been feeding fish.. pull hair out of mouth, leave flakes behind. om nom nom? LOL. Wasn't too bad actually! I think I'll pass on the Tang's nori though.

      I was laughing the whole time I updated, laughing and eating, and laughing and patting the dog, and munching on those pellets, my lord... these fish pellets are making me THIRSTY

      Accidental click - Killer discovery!

  11. it's a copper love affair, i'm a little biased, but my kids are HOT!

    1. Sarah

      Sarah

      They sure are haha, but you have a right to be proud - you've done such a wonderful job raising them. :))

  12. Salamanders on my mind, and in the tank.

    1. Neffy

      Neffy

      Best of luck :D hope they spawn!

    2. melbournebetta

      hmmm.... he's showing signs of fatigue & pinhole tail rot :( WHY is he so damn freaked out by spawning, she's even come over with fins clamped and tail up... and he chases her off. Bubble nest all but gone this morning. They get another 48 hours before he gets a dose of TC :(

    3. Nicola

      Nicola

      Oooo the salamaders look pretty :)

  13. Thanks for the grindal worm culture, my housemates didn't exactly understand why I got excited when an envelope of dirt and worms arrived, but you and I; we know about the secret joys of such things.

    Thanks once again!

      Big WOOP! Of course you mean, turquoise/heterozygous metallic turquoise/metallic green. LOL

    3. melbournebetta

      melbournebetta

      oh my, she's shiny - can we stick with that? - until she's proven which T/HM or T/MG....... my head hurts.

  16. The Salamander pair have been rested- she was. not. interested. and he's showing stress with some potential rot (straight into a salt bath young man) So the Copper / Turquoise are in the tank sparring as we speak.

    1. Neffy

      Neffy

      Awww good luck with the next pair ! Hope mine do better

    2. melbournebetta

      melbournebetta

  17. Dear Jess,

    I've been talking to Joan about doing a logo for the Vic Betta Society...

    While I was doing my research, I was really looking for a good outline image, and I've realized the image you had on the certificates was really great, did you do that?

    How would you feel about us using it - altering it probably a bit - but trying to see if it would fit in as ...

  18. Hey Elle,

    Just saw your DA site, very impressive - what is the course you are doing?

    Seems besides betta we have a few things in common, I work for an Andalusian breeder in the Western District & finished a Fine art course a while back :)

    Hope uni is ace and u can take a few fishes with you.

    -Ness

  19. Conditioning the Salamander HM pair is she even interested? - all the while Mrs Turq is bursting and Mr Fuzz are making eyes at eachother... The Salamanders will get a go, but the Copper/Turq temptation is real...... eeek - full moon on the 4th, make it count!

  20. Copper daddy (Fuzz) watching the kids with such ferocity, when I lifted the sheet to check the temp he literally swore at me! fingers crossed for lots of Fuzzy kids.

      wash his mouth out!! How rude!

  21. Hey Stephan,

    I just wanted to express my gratitude to you for your website, the models of correct form are really important (form is a focus of mine, as a new hobby breeder/keeper)

    I've found your site to be really informative.

    :) all the best.
