This male is just .25 of an inch of to be able to show. Maybe he'll be ready by the CT one or the midlothian one...

I would be all over that show were it happening where I was... hopefully when I go back to the U.S., there will be a show nearby.

@Mo: That is one gorgeous fish you have there! I'm envious right now...

Question @BasementBettas: What happens to the fish after the show - are they all sold (either by regular sale or auction) or sent back to the owner?

:o so if I wanted to go to this, do I need to be a member of the IBC? I sort of want to see all these beautiful show bettas in person, not to mention the fact that there is the sale of some of the bettas it looks like, would love picking up some girls :3

Dii, it depends on what you want to do. you can either have your fish auctioned, mailed back to you, or donate it to the club. Either way you're supposed to provide extra bags (and heat pads if you so desire) and postage for the return trip so any fish unsold will be returned to you or the money you sent for return postage will be returned along with your cut of whatever the fish sold for at auction.

I heard Thursday was the cut off day for receiving fish? Wed. would be kind of early if there's a hiccup in shipping where they disappear in between you and the show for a day, that ends to happen from time to time.

Also i think the fees listed are wrong... I think the IBC set the price for a single entry to $2.00 for this season? correct me if i'm wrong.

Nope 1.50 this season

[EvilVOG]

ok, but the spreadsheet entry form is hard wired for $2 per entry and i know CBS was $2 for sure
