For those of you breeding...

That's excellent Junglist!
There's so much info in the IBC not available to the general public, specially if you want to show.
Access to the handbook alone is well worth the $20!

AHHHH!! you guys make me want to join haha.

[tpocicat]

I joined and never looked back. I didn't ask for a beginner pair because I have enough bettas already. I love to look through Aquabid and every now and again I buy another. I'm trying to stick with bettas that will fit in with my breeding plans.

I didn't see the email for my pair when I first joined, so I didnt get any...BUT a couple years ago, I lost ALL my breeders (went through depression due to personal issues), and SOOO many breeders offered or just sent me new fish! IBC members are awesome!...so eventually I did get a Pals Pair :D.

Even though I've been breeding and showing for 4 years, I still don't have the skill to keep more then about 20 alive IF I'm lucky....I hope this year I'll be about to have 100s so that I can offer a few to New Breeders. Also, IBC Chapters will offer pairs to their new paid members. Lone Star Bettas (Dallas/Ft. Worth/Ellis) is my Chapter, and we do tend to bring fish to give away.

I know Basement Bettas has been talking about her Culls....Culls to a breeder does NOT mean a Cull...it just means that it doesn't meet show standards...BB's Culls are amazing fish! She is also starting a Chapter in "Southern" Texas Called Hill Country Bettas.

Once you join IBC, the contact person (me for LSB) will receive an email with YOUR email address. I try to contact with in minutes of receiving the email.

If your a Betta Lover...even if you don't plan on showing, joining IBC and a local Chapter allows you to learn about care and such from people that have a LOT of knowledge!!!

Sherolyn Craig, Reno, I, Carlos, and Amber are the founding members of the Hill Country Betta Club I think. And I don't think it's in south. More like South Central. San Antonio

Canada Transhipper:

Hung Thanh Pham < phosecondbowl@cogeco.ca > Tel. 905-358-2525

Wonder if he/she? can be used to tranship from US to Canada? Maybe give a call?...may be worth it to get US fish?

Wish there were more betta fanatics in Lousiana so we could start a chapter here.

Alas!

At least I have plenty of contacts on facebook and in the IBC.
