A beautiful dumbo betta.








Here is another beautiful fish I wish to share with all of you. It is more towards the purple colour with places more red than purple.

It is so lively as you can see from the video I have uploaded for everyone to enjoy. And those huge pectorals are so clearly obvious due to its size and whiteness. I really wish to have it in my blog as I myself would soon lose the opportunity to appreciate its beauty when I have to sell it.

It is slightly past three months old now and with the more than hundred fish I have, I have to let some go. Furthermore, the more I breed these lovely betta splendens the more I hope to achieve with them. And to be able to do that I have to continue breeding them even though space constraints and time limit do not allow me such a pleasure. Well, I will just have to go the distance and find out how far I can reach.


In the meantime it is my pride and pleasure to enjoy my beauties with all of you. Looking at them, I have no alternative but to realise what a wonderfully beautiful world ours is.

One of my best Dumbo.

This dumbo betta is a favourite of mine as its mustard colour and extremely big pectorals are beautiful. This vieo was made when it was about three months old.

He is among a batch of very beautiful dumbos that I bred. Many of them have big dumbo pectorals while some have merely big ears. The big ears, although their pectorals are smaller, are just as lovely. I have sold a good number of them to Malaysians only as despite having been in this fish hobby for a long time, I have not thought of selling them to other countries. As such, I lack the knowledge of exporting fish. However, I think it is time I learn to do so. It would be my pleasure to share with many more people this beautifully coloured fish. So, there is still much to learn.

In fact, there was this person from Sabah who wanted some dumbos. The couriers were reluctant as it would involve having to put them on a plane.But then, I had known of a person who worked for an exporter regularly sending discus fish to other parts of the world. So what is the difference? Is it only possible to export or send fish by plane through a company? Are individuals discouraged from doing so? Never mind, I will seek for the answers to overcome this minor problem.

I have sold some of my fish to hobbyists in Peninsula Malaysia through 'Mudah.com", sending those who asked for them through the courier services available.

With this hobby taking up a lot of my time, I have not been able to do much sharing in my blog lately. However, I hope to do more as things settle to a more manageable pace.
