    Thanks a lot!
    I'm sure I'll pass by directly after coming back to BKK...

    There's a very nice, open-plan, massive teak restaurant along the main road that has bands etc. at night, and is a nice place for lunch too.

    Also on that map it says there's a floating market.


    I must really head back there for a ride around.

    ^^^ Cheers for the insight.

    Wish you were about in 2006 when I wasted a couple of grand on a tank, filter and fish.

    Nice thread Derk! There was a time i kept a 'few' of these Betta splendens myself, along with a few other of the other Thai Betta species. Next time you're in Thailand, try to find yourself a set of these stamps, they're still around.

    Buying tanks new can burn your money fast - buying from the ones who burnt the money saves a lot if you know what you are doing

    Well currently I'm at 20 tanks plus >30 Betta-boxes in Germany and around 35 Tanks in Thailand
    The stamps look great, I'll see if they have gotten up to the northern Isaan

    Oh, and whoever it was, thanks for selecting my thread for the weekly mailer...

    Bye,

    There are international competitions with judging standards in which most of the fishes would be classified with some minor and/or a major fault.
    It start with having the male anal fin ending in a single tip whereas most specimen you see have it ending in two. And so on and so forth - fortunately I don't care about competitions and just breed them for pleasure

    I'm no native speaker, so I just do my best to get the shades I put into the German version also in English...

    Yes, yes, I know ... it's an older thread, but I love Fish, love Farming and the OP is a great read during the Covid shutdown.

    Thanks for the heads up ChairmanMao

    Bumps are fun. There should be no negative stigma for bumps
