Thank you for your advice everybody. I'll come back after the trip and tell you if I had any luck Betta-wise.

Thank you very much DavideVD and Roberto! I'm sure I can find the time visit Mondo di Nemo and maybe some of the other shops! We're mainly coming to see the famous sights and enjoy the weather. Maybe some football and formula 1 (for my husband) and aquariums and Bettas (for me). We haven't decided if we'll go to Expo or not.

And thank you for the culinary tips DavideVD, I'm looking forward to Italian food. And coffee. And ice cream.

Thank you Roberto!

I was really bummed when I learned you have a Betta show just two weeks after our visit. But we already booked our trip months ago, so I can't help that anymore. I would have loved to see the show!

Here in Finland we only have a few Betta hobbyists. We mainly buy our Bettas from pet stores, and most of the pet store Bettas are VT. I have found some HM bettas from pet stores, even quite nice ones, but usually they are too big and too old for breeding.

Thank you very much for your advice, Brendan and Fatacarabina! I will definitely go and see the public aquarium and will check out Acquarishop.

If anyone has any further tips I'm glad to hear more! Or if someone in Milano has some nice Bettas for sale, that would be super!

Hello Italian Betta lovers,

I'm a beginning Betta hobbyist from Finland, and I'm coming to Milano for a few days next week. Can you give me some pointers to finding Betta and aquarium-related things in Milano? Are there any nice Bettas available in fish shops? What are the best aquarium stores in Milano?

I heard there is a public aquarium in Milano. Is it worth visiting?
