Well, I am new to this sight and would like to introduce myself. I have been breeing fish for the last 21 years, starting with guppies with my parents. In the past I have breed guppies, discus, gold rams, and blue rams. I now breed Crowntail bettas, Crowntail Plakat bettas, and in the last year moving to saltwater I also breed pecula clowns and bangai cardinalfish.

Here is a list of tanks and fish I currently have
In this house:
1 55g albino oscar
1 55g saltwater Picasso Triggerfish (My favorite!) 3x three striped damsels, 1 blue damsel
1 20g tall holding tank for new fish
1 20g long saltwater 2 p. clowns, 2 bangai cardinal fish, 1 spiked starfish, 1 anemone, 1 clam, 1 peperment shrimp
1 10g saltwater (for when the bangai cardinals breed)
1 10g pearlscale goldfish, blue neons, and plant tank
Betta breeding tanks:
4 2.5g tanks (split into 12) for alfa males
4 2.5g tanks (split into 12) for breeding females
12 10g tanks for breeding and raising bettas
1 5g tank for breeding also

I breed crowntail and crowntail plakat bettas, bangai cardinals, and pecurla clowns.

Thank you for the great welcome... I hope that I can contribute what knowledge I've gained in breeding saltwater fish, as well as any other knowledge to this sight, as well as learn from other members. Though I dont ever plan on giving up on my bettas, I am deffinitly enjoying the saltwater side of the hobby.

By the way, I love my Trigger lol... Nothing like having a dog that doesn't bark "loud". Can hand feed, pet, talk to, play with toys with and just an amazing fish.

Thank you all again for the warm welcome. Look forward to learning and sharing my knowledge.
