Hello all,
My name is steven im 23 and im from Australia, ive been a member for awhile but havnt been on here for quite sometime so i thought i would re-introduce myself

i am a HM betta owner and breeder, i havnt breed for awhile and lost my females due to a outbreak in my community tank so i have bought a few new pairs off AB that i will hopefully spawn

ok now pic time! lol

What a setup . . . it's beautiful! You did a great job with your barracks and drip system. I take it that you're a HM fan also?! And maybe like the BF pattern? You got some nice fish off AB. Hope they produce nicely for you. Definitely keep us posted.

wow, amazing fish fellow aussie!!! i cant believe that you have so many fishes/tanks... im mel a newbie to the forum, i joined some time last month >.< cant remember when though. i have 8 bettas currently (lost one today, moped all through my test >.< i rescued him from 300mls of water at a lps a month or two ago)... i really like your set up of the three on top three on bottom, is it on an entertainment unit?

thanks bettalvr, yeah i really like hm's, i didnt really notice that quite a few of my hm's are butterfly until yuo pointed that out lol so i guess i am a sucker for the btf pattern

hi wiccansinger, yeah its terrible how petshops keep there bettas im glad you rescued him but sorry to hear you lost him

no its not a entretainment unit it probably looks like it because it sits next to my E/unit

i actually made that stand myself, it has a heating cord under the tanks to keep them at temp and led lights to light it up

that could be why >.< lol dont worry about me, i am a bit weird at the moment ^.^
You are really good at making units then and the heating cord under the tanks is a good idea, i actually had a similar one involving an extra piece of glass on the back of the tanks joining them all and having it heated although i may take a while to making it (part of my new improved design gotta get it perfect for my bettas before making it and wanting it to look different in a day)
