Betta Breeders

[Kieflow]

Hello! For those who are breeding bettas, how/where did you obtain your fish from? I want to avoid breeding bettas with poor genetics that would cause their offspring to suffer. I’m not trying to breed top shelf competition bettas, but I do want to have good genetics. Thanks!

@Kieflow that is a trickier question than you might think. Because there is a forum guideline against either praising or trashing other aquarium related companies, and additionally there is a second guideline against linking to other aquarium related competitors (with the exception of Amazon.com, Ebay.com, Aquabid.com, and Aquahuna.com which are approved), you have to exercise some common sense and discretion in order not to violate the guidelines.

So the general advice is to try Aquabid, Ebay or Aquahuna.

In the past I bred show bettas and was a member of the IBC (International Betta Congress). I got all my breeding stock from other IBC members. If I were you I would join the IBC and begin to network with other members.

@Daniel I altered the post. I guess the more forum friendly question I should be asking is “where did you get your breeding bettas from?” Instead of “what breeder do you recommend?”
