Learning about Betta has been an all-consuming passion over the last 11 months. I have loved the genetics side of the humble Betta, and then the tail-types - my shifting goals from breeding long fin half suns, to now concentrating on CTPK...but, the biggest enjoyment I've had from any of this, has been the sharing of that knowledge with others.
Facebook has become the place to be if you're involved with the Australian Betta community, although I still love and frequent the AusAqua forum and the people on there (I love them, not frequent them). But it is on Facebook that I have come to dispense the little bit of knowledge that I have gathered.
I know very little - compared to some of those who have been breeding for many more years than I have, I know less than very little! But I seem to know the basics, and that is what many of the newer breeders want to know - and so I freely dispense those bits I do know - and I feel good about educating others.
Now I have F1 spawns who need homes in the next month or so. I shall decide on the few fish I want to keep from each spawn, and give the majority of the rest away. Sorry, but only mainland Australians need express any interest.
I'll add photos when they're ready to be shipped - but, I have turquoise marble half dragons and I have black marbles, all F1 CTPK spawns. There will be 20+ of the turquoise and maybe 15 or so of the blacks that I will need to find a home for.
I'll not sell these to the LFS as I don't want F1 mutts going anywhere other than to people I know (for pets), or to breeders for their own breeding programs.
Look for me on Facebook to register your interest - it wont be binding, until I've uploaded photos with identifying designations for each fish - then if you say you want, you need only cover the postage (depending on the number of fish you want).
These are good F1 fish, as one of the girls I gave away last week has already been involved in a spawn for her new owner!
I look forward to hearing from you fellow CTPK enthusiasts.
