Hi there! I am a beginner (bordering moderate) fish keeper and that has recently discovered betta keeping! Or, at least, the correct way to do it. Pictured above is my new Delta Tail, Gemini. (I'm thinking he may be a marble, but I am not quite sure.) Yes, he is still in the cup...I was a bit excited. I am a huge animal lover, and find them absolutely fascinating! Becoming a Veterinarian is my largest goal and greatest dream. For a while, I actually considered Marine Biology and am still interested in it.
For a very long time, I was stuck in the 'Bettas are easy and can be kept in a small bowl' scam. Though I never really questioned it (I and many of my friends had believed that for so long), my poor fish always did badly. Eventually, I reasoned I was either a very bad fish keeper, or Bettas were just an unhealthy species. I didn't find out the truth until I started doing research on the fish. Seeking a hobby I would enjoy, I started breeding Guppies and Mollies. It was really easy...too easy. To the point it was boring. Hoping to find a challenge, I decided to look into breeding the beautiful betta. Wow! There is so much I do not know. Bettafish.com was one of the websites I came across. After looking into it and reading around the website, I decided to join you all. Currently, I have put breeding on hold while I learn the basics of Betta care. Eventually, when I feel ready, I hope to step into breeding. For now, be prepared for a bunch of newbie questions! Advice and tips are greatly appreciated.
