betta people have been here since the site spawned on 12/11/01
!
Updates:
23/11/01
New spawn this morning!
Medium-large spawn of around 100 or so eggs, from my
Salamander MG x Salamander MG. Both have a purple sheen to
them, so I'm hoping hard! Updated section on Upcoming
Spawns.
Updated page on "The Breeding",
and added a pic of a sea almond leaf.
19/11/01
Added a page 2 to my
"Upcoming Spawns" section! Plus more new pics of
my purple mustard gases .. I also added some pics of my fry
on page 1, hope you guys enjoy them!

Excellent! My Purple MGs have
finally spawned! =) Hopefully the babies will be safe from
harm until Daddy has been removed. Very small spawn,
probably less than 30 eggs.
Updated page on selecting stock for
breeding bettas.
17/11/01
Updated links, and also food
articles. Added links in local and other pages, amended
a couple of mistakes in dihybrid inheritance (thanks, Trevor
and Deborah!).
It's been rather rainy today, and all but the DTM pairing
had loads of progress today! Unfortunately the DTM has been
beaten up real bad by Le Femme "Sapphire", so I'm
going to remove him later. Now the both of them are looking
absolutely ridiculous, lying side by side amongst some java
moss and refusing to spawn!!

Updated page on Dihybrid
Inheritance, Living Conditions and Others Gallery (Thanks,
Cindy!) Hope you all enjoy reading, and do let me know if
there are any other mistakes, yah? Thanks!!
The 3 pairs are doing fine, but only the
purple MG pairing is having any progress. Keeping fingers
and toes crossed. =)

Sigh .. I apologise for not updating the other
sections of the site, especially the genetics section. So
all those who have emailed me regarding this section, please
be patient. I'm amidst a very busy schedule for these 2
weeks, but after the 28th this month I promise I'll get it
done.

3 more pairs going into the spawning tanks:
Purple Mustard Gas STM x MG Salamander STF
Melano STM x Steel blue STF (melano geno, HM geno)
Turquoise DTM x Royal Blue STF "Sapphire" -
I just can't get enough of this great pair so I decided
to spawn them again. =)
As is my custom, I do not list spawns under the
"Upcoming Spawns" section until they have spawned
successfully - based on previous experience whenever I place
them in that section while they are still spawning they will
fail to spawn somehow. Call me superstitious if you like,
but I'm not going to risk it! =)
Welcome!
Here is where I try to share information, pictures and also try to
increase awareness of betta-keeping in Singapore.
Until fairly recently, Singapore's bettas consisted of only plakats
(short tail, wild-type) and veiltails. Only a few admirable people had
access to any decent stock at all. Fortunately, betta-breeding has been
going on at a great pace here, and it is heart-warming to see that many
respectable breeders here now have extremely good stock. Hence,
instead of importing bettas from overseas breeders (Well, I used to do
that, and occasionally do still, now), it's quite possible to obtain
excellent fish from local breeders. To those that have contributed to
our progress so far, I give you my utmost respect!
P.S. Just in case you're wondering what the initials "BD"
are doing on the logo on the top left hand corner of these pages - well,
I edited this graphic sometime last year while contemplating setting up
a webpage. It had a different name of course. Well .. until I have more
time on hand to do more graphics editing! =)
