Alpha Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 I have just found your forum and first and foremost let me say that it is really great to read about fellow Australian fish keeping enthusiasts. I live in Toowoomba in south east Queensland and while I have not kept bettas for a few years I've been keeping saltwater fish but I'm looking to get back into bettas. A few years ago I adopted my first betta. He was easily the most personable fish I have ever kept. He was placed on my desk in a heated and filtered 10 gallon aquarium. When feeding time came around at six o'clock sharp and I was not paying attention to him while doing my homework he would flare and swim around his tank like crazy, obviously trying to get my attention. Sadly he passed away a few years ago and I have not owned a betta since. I am looking to start a betta barracks starting with a small number of fish (5-10) and see where I go from there. I look forward to having some of my questions answered and contributing to your forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Posted May 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Thank you, he was just like a human. At the moment I'm keeping a reef aquarium with the usual kinds of fish (ocellaris clownfish, gobies, tangs) and an assortment of corals. However due to a change in circumstances I'm going to have to change to something a little less high-tech, hence bettas :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
