At our second show, our CTs did very well...largely because there were no other CTs in the classes :( We need more CT breeders!

One of my pineapple males won the pairs class with a pineapple female, and then went on to win BOV Shortfin Male (out of 23 in his division). 

I was scolded by one of the judges to put his brother into the traditional PK class (instead of the form and finnage class) - she said that his brother would have won the show! Just goes to show you that how a fish performs at one show, under one set of judges, could be very different under another set of judges. Always review the standards carefully and try to put them in the class that gives them the best chance, no matter what. 

My very first male that I ever bred also placed well :) He also went Reserve Best of Variety (out of 7 in his division).

I was so surprised that we did so well in our first show. I had decided to skip the New Breeder classes and head right into the Open classes, since the New Breeder classes were pretty huge. Glad I made that choice!

Our very first show ever! I sent only 7 bettas, and imagine my surprise when one of my girls swept Reserve Best of Variety Shortfin Female!
