rockerpeller Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Hi everyone, Came across this site from a google search about Betta breeding. Its something my partner wants to get into so here we are. I've had tanks for years and this is her 3rd. I'm no longer doing freshwater tanks and have gone into marine reefs. Anyway thats all I guess Cheers Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Welcome Will. I've lost way too much money on marine tanks. But they're still on my must try again list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenton Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Hey Will and mysteriously unannounced partner First good move - coming here - lots of excellent information and lots of excellent people with massive experience in breeding and raising Betta. Not all of them are around all of the time, but there's usually one or two who can help out with any of you, or your partners, questions Second fortunate move - being in Melbourne, you should take an evening and look in at the Vic Betta club. Lots of nice people, lots of information, and a good place to start getting together the items and cultures you'll need for starting your breeding programs Feel free to throw up Marine photos in the Coffee Shop (if we don't actually have a marine thread). We love photos, and we don't really care what fishy scene they depict - we'll be happy anyway Welcome to the forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockerpeller Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Thanks for the warm welcome. I'll be sure to put up some photos of my Marine reef later tonight. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 We can make a marine thread if you're going to be filling it with posts :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockerpeller Posted July 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Sorry about not uploading any yet. It's been a hectic 48hrs with prepping for when the sister in law visits tonight for the school holidays. On the betta front though, Jess is currently on the hunt for some breeding stock, and a betta barracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenton Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 What's Jess' Betta breeding goals...we might be able to point her in the right direction for stock. As for the barracks, maybe Maddie, James, or Miss M will be better suited to throwing up suggestions (they sell the things ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockerpeller Posted July 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 She wants to get her experience up to breeding Half Moons and Plakats after seeing some pics on Aquabid. She's has no experience with egg laying fish, and has only target bred guppies etc. She knows we need live food cultures ie. Micro worms, vinegar eels etc. I'd say we're going to be attending the table show day which is going to be a great day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
