A few of my fish

Hi guy's.

Just thought I'd post up a few pics of some of my favorites.

Slightly flawed but a good little fish.

The girls I like as much as the males. This lass is ready to be placed in with her beau.

A choc/yellow....being the great father that he is.

One of my virgin female community tanks.

I love the honey gouramis.

Last but not least....good old Paradise.

I wouldn't say he's flawed. The fin rays that extend passed the edge of the fin is good breeding stock. When I was breeding bettas I would look for males where the caudal, the anus and the dorsal fins made a nice round shape, the finrays extended passed the edge of the fin, very aggressive, big bubble nest, fins that looked like drapery.

Cripes! If my Daughter sees those, She'll be beating a path to the door! Are you still actively breeding, Rob? (Your fish I mean...)

You mentioned the 'Gold Region' the other day, Rob. Are you anywhere near Bendigo?

Thanks Mike, Nick.

His first and only lot of offspring Funky, while being good looking and wonderful coloured fish, all carried that uneven branching in their caudial....pity.

I have not bred Betta's since christmas Peter, when I decided to outfit a new fishroom. What started out as a 'few hundred dollars and she'll be right attitude' soon turned to the realization that it would cost a couple of thousand and many more weeks.....should be finished soon though.

When I'm set up I'll continue with Crowntails and Plakat's only, marble's....multicolour and full mask. Maybe the odd multicolour Veil. There is not a problem getting really good males here now, you pay a fair price what with shipping and all, but good quality females are more important and they are very hard to come by as no one releases them often enough.

The Guppy's will take up a fair bit of room with thirty odd tanks but there will be enough room for the Betta's and the Cichlids I'm hoping to get.

Yeah we are about a half hour from bendigo, in Maryborough.
