For those of you breeding...

They are ok. But I wouldn't expect them to win any show cetegories with color and form.

First of all shipping on 4-6 fish is ten dollars, but you can ship up to twelve fish for 11 dollars if ou ship medium flat rate and use the online USPS. I'm talking about PRIORITY

Also, Coppermoon. Dnt make me call your Lori

Oh no I not going to show yet. I'll do that in the future, I just ment a good quality pair like not ones from a pet store. I just starting I'll get better and better as I go to the point where I'll show.

Most of our stuff is young right now. I will have lots of steel/royals in a few months. Betta pals will be a good palce for them. I think we wore Karen out on those.. lol

I hope you have sone for the spring shows and don't wait for convention. Shows should start again MArch.. [?] maybe. April for sure. You have some serious nice fish to breed. Matter of fact come next year you should be able to donate some yourself.

Feel free to ask for help any time. Showing is a LOT of fun and you meet some of the besst people.

Hey BB, are there any shows near the east coast? I'd like to try when I start breeding in a few years. Of course I have no chance, but just going to try. :)

You would be suprised.. I bought a nice pair and finished 15 overall my first year showing and my son was reserve New Breeder champion. Pick a good pair that have the coloring that is showable.. do one spawn and really take care of it and you should have some fine fish to show.

There are some clubs over there. CT has one and has a show later this year. There is a GA club and Fl club as well. Hopefully one will not be too far from you. The GA and FL do not have anything on the calendar this fall.. but hopefully next spring.

Joining the IBC is a good way to get a nice pair. And shipping is more like $15 for priority and $35 for express. You have to add the styrofoam to the box and the cost of materials and time should be figured in. If hot or cold some hot/cold packs can be added for $2-$3.
