When I built my own house 28 years ago, I built the "Cave". The Cave takes up 1/2 of my basement. It has its own heating, electric, lighting, tank racks, water supply (with treatment), and drainage systems. I planned it as a retirement hobby just working Betta genetics, for myself. Now, the Internet has shrunk the world. I am besieged with e-mail with people asking for information about my bettas. It is beyond my ability to keep up. The fishroom has expanded to 42 tanks running and over 3000 Bettas. I have over 50 years experience working Bettas. Here is one way I can share my Betta Experience with everyone. Enjoy the site. If I have any strains or experiments that interest you please inquire further as to availability and price. I am working many strains for the half moon trait and some for pure color and some for butterfly patterns and some for double tails. All photos here are of my fish and taken by me unless otherwise stated. Please don't take the artwork off my site, contact me instead ... I'll probably have high resolution copies.
