Hi, I present you in that topic my bubblenest Betta, I have 10 species of bubblenest betta that I breed and reproduce :
Splendens complexe :
Betta sp mahachai
Betta imbellis ( fishes that Icaught this summer in Malaisie, two different location : Kuantan and Chukai)
Coccina complexe:
Betta brownorum from Bangka
Betta coccina from Jambi Sumatra
Betta livida from selangor forest
Betta miniopina (German strain)
Betta persephone from Ayer Hitam
Betta rutilans from Tayan, Kalimantan barat
Betta tussyae from Kuantan
Betta uberis from Kubu, from Pankalanbun.
Betta sp Palankaraya
I will do only one post, because I have two french forums and it is hard for me, so ask questions I will answer. I put picture of each species later, with water parameters and my breeding conditions.

OK I do it later.
If you want some of those fishes, CIL-IBSC have a spring meeting the week end of 12th april in Dijon, with a grant on sunday
http://www.cil-ibsc.fr/
We can't miss Dijon next year!! :)
Your fishes looks stunning and set up looks incredibly natural, congratulations!:)
Amazing fish, they all look extremely well nurtured. I will do my best to be in Dijon next year!
I honestly do not know how to express how i feel in this very moment....
From the first time i entered in AIB i hoped to create, with the collaboration of other users, a forum where many people from different countries can share informations, pics, and breeding experiences in a big community, about wild-type Betta.
And that's what is happening...i'm also a bit moved...i have to admit.
Thank you so much Nicolas, for sharing your informations and awesome(!) pictures of your outstanding fishes.
We absolutely have to meet each other in Dijon the next April!
Keep sharing (i will also post some details in CIL IBSC forum soon) and enjoying AIB! :)
