Local Betta Breeders?

[MerrittA]

I have been wanting to breed my own betas but the only "nice" types I can find are from Thailand and I don't want to pay the transshipping costs. Does anyone in Houston breed betas that I could purchase some nice halfmoons betas from?

THANKS!

Wow! Thanks PhishPhreek! I am mainly looking for dragons to breed. You live in Texas City right? I would like to swing by and look at (and purchase) some of your bettas. Maybe you can give my some breeding tips since I have never gotten it to work for me. :-)

Be happy to answer all your questions.
I think you'ld like our pot luck meetings
BettaHabari is the Houston Area Chapter of the IBC
You'll find a few tips & tricks on my website

If you want to see some fantastic bettas,
you should plan on going to Dallas in June
for the IBC anual conference, show & auction.
The best of the best will be there

P.S. the best time to attempt to spawn bettas is right after a front moves through. The air pressure change seems to trigger their spawning instinks

This week I have the following pairs spawning for the Fall show season.
Red Giant
Red Butterfly (2)
Blue Marble
Pineapple

phishphreek do you have any giant bettas?

I have 1 half-giant red plakat that I finally got to spawn with one of my HM red females. I should have some half-giants in 4 months. With a little luck I may have some full giants by Christmas.

cool :0 lmk wenu get the full giants

Yea, I have been planning on going to the IBC convention this year since it is in Texas, too great of an opportunity to miss! I wanted to purchase some great looking dragon bettas from there to spawn.

Dragons

The next show is in California CBS 5/16 and they have sponsered the awards for the Dragons at the national convention so I expect the competition to be stiff. Still, my Dragons aren't too shaby.

[MerrittA]

I loved your red and orange dragons. When I sort out my fish space I will PM you regarding their sale. Do you have any sibling females available? So glad I joined this site. I have been looking at Aquabid.com for some stock but would prefer yours. :-) Hopefully I can breed them and get some good quality betas out of it.

show standards

If you are going to raise bettas for show, you need to attend the judging seminars at the convention in Dallas so that you know what the judges are looking for and counting off against. I did that in 2004 and it has made a world of difference in how I choose my breeders.
