BettaObsessed Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hi Macro. Welcome to the forum. If you're looking at organising some shows you should speak to Les as he was looking for the same. What are you studying here? Are you planning on staying in Australia for long? Do you currently have any bettas? And there I'll stop before I reach Inquisition level :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macro88 Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hi bettaobsessed, would be interesting to meet up with him,any idea how we could meet up?Currently studying at Curtin University for Degree in Engineering..staying in Australia until i finished my course for four year but during this period,would somehow like to meet some betta hobbyist in Perth..Currently i cant keep bettas at my home as it's not allowed by my landlord.

Bettarazzi Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Ignore the landlord! LOL. Generally when a lease says no pets they're talking about dogs and cats. Or if you're really worried then just ask if you're allowed to have a fish tank. Don't tell them you're actually starting a betta farm. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlz0r Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 HAHA good one. Tell your landlord it's a 'part time job' rather than a 'pet' when he asks about the 1000's of fish. or you could say you 'work from home..' haha welcome to the forum!!

Neffy Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) I keep some tanks in the cupboard so i can close the doors when i have an inspection and it doesnt look like i have so many tanks. Edited May 18, 2011 by Neffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 LOL sneaky Neffy. When I was renting I decided I couldn't live without my cat or my fish so I just went ahead and had both. Never had an inspection in the two years I lived there. When I was moving out, after doing the bond inspection the agent asked me why there was fur everywhere. I told him truthfully it was because of the cat. He said I had to pay $80 for a professional cleaner but I got my full bond back AND the same agent rented me the next flat LOL.

Neffy Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I didnt tell them, but i had an inspection at 6months and made sure there was only 2 tanks that could be seen the guy just walked right past them but im still paranoid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettaObsessed Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 My lease specifically says no aquariums without prior approval. I currently have 8 tanks plus my baine marie barracks and all the real estate agent has ever said was "What's with all the fish?" Oh and no prior approval. I think I missed that part until I resigned my lease 4 months ago. Due to resign again and still no comment on all the tanks. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
