Have you ever shown? (1st post!!)

[PaintingPintos]

WELCOME to the Showing Forum!!!
So happy to see you here
Anyway, I have never shown before, neither do I have any show-quality bettas. But I would like to know what goes into showing, and if you have ever shown before!
Also, which fish have you shown? What did they place? Did you meet any other fish-keepers? Was it fun?
Tell me all about it!

We have a few members who plan to show this fall. I know MrV is and maybe Mo and a few others. I'm anxious to see how it goes for them.

It is super xiting event, I would love to attend one, but I beleive they are in Cali only..but it is very professional in regards to form of the fish, tail proportions, and all, and I love to hear about them, but to be part of one must be an honor!!!

Depends on the Area. Area 1 (North America) hosts shows in Cali, Texas, and a few other places. I will try to attend the 2013 convention in Texas. I'll post a link to a betta show:

Currently, Betta Splendens of Colorado is growing and hopefully by 2014 we will be hosting shows ourselves :D

Ooo. Dom. Linda said she hopes you can make it to the 2013 one and that she's gonna try to be there too

I REALLY want to go. I'll talk to her about it when I import next time this fall.

I plan on showing a couple of mine in the new breeders class in the Santa Clara show on 9/1-9/2. It depends on my money situation at the time though.

She said your parents are really supportive of you and she thinks you'll be able to make it
