Betta simplex "Type II" F2 now in Singapore

[turaco]

Ron,
High time to pay you a visit. I'll bring my net .

[RonWill]

Nonn,
The 1st simplex brood was a miserable 10 fry and I was telling my wife that if I don't see something substantial, I'm gonna flush them down the toilet!

Heh, I guess the breeders overheard...

Fresh out of the oven. Newly collected Betta simplex fry. Anyone want to count them? :wink:

Now that I have two broods of simplex going, I think it's time for someone else to hold that torch. I left Betta species a good while back but since this is your 'baby', breeding them is my contribution to local betta hobbyists, as well as your desire to see them distributed.

Please advise what you wish for me to do with the 10 older fry, plus this newly collected 2nd batch. [I have new killies coming in and am desperately running out of tank space... my Mrs don't approve of have little tanks under our bed either ]

Waiting for your instructions before the rest of the 'boys' raid my setups this weekend!

Ron, I think you miscounted, total is 57 not 47 fry.

[RonWill]

Great.... now the whole world knows my maths sucks!

[RonWill]

Earth calling Nonn... Houston we have a problem...

Need advice on fry distribution. Male is brooding again. Have new killie fishes & eggs arriving soon and am in need of any available tank space.

Sounds like its time for these guys to cross the pond

Okay, fellas,

I'm in possession of 2 pairs of Betta simplex which came from Nonn. The last time I distributed this fish to 2 hobbyists in this forum, one pair died after a few days and there were no news from the guy who took the other pair. So I'm going to be a bit more fussy about who I give the fish to now.

If you like to have a pair, submit your application form in triplicate with full details on stuff like how long have you been keeping fish, what sort of tank you're going to keep the fish in, what are you going to do when the fish breed, so on and so forth. Please enclose supporting documents like birth and marriage certificates, driving licences, educational certificates and passport size photographs.

Okay, jokes aside, if you want them, tell me more about yourself first. If I think you're not qualified to keep the simplex, I will ignore your application. Better that than I tell you to your face that you're not good enough Enquiries sent through private email or message will not be entertained. If you want the fish, ask for them in this thread or don't ask at all.

I'm also in possession of 16 T-shirts. They are in M and L sizes. These T shirts will be at Eco-Culture tomorrow afternoon. Each is Sing $6. Neither Eco-Culture nor I are making any money out of this. It's all in support of Nonn's web site, www.siamensis.org. Those of you who have been bugging Nonn for exotic Bettas or have taken some from him should rush down to Eco and buy as many T shirts as you can, if you ask me . It's the least you should do for someone who have done a lot for the hobby.

Here's a pic of the T shirt:

You do realise this thread was started in 2004. Which also happens to be when the last post was made. I reckon you'll have more luck starting a [Want] thread in the marketplace..?
