Hi all,

Arie, Annemiek, Michel and myself had a great time at the Italian Betta Show which was held during the Petsfestival in Piazenca in Italy. Congratulations to the people of the Italian Betta Club who did a great job in hosting this show  :bravo:  :bravo:. It was for the first time that the Bettas4all Standard was used in Italy.

Congratulations to all the winners :best:!

The shows was filled with fish from European breeders only and the quality was really good. Besides a wide range of aquarium related stands covering endlers, discus and shrimp aquascaping, the rest of the Petsfestival also was really nice to see with stands promoting a wide variety of other animals such as cats, dogs, turtles, birds, snakes and various rodents.

Here some pictures I made during the show to give you an impression.




















































































































Many greetings,

Joep
