Nippyfish.net: A Site for the Modern Betta Enthusiast



Nippyfish.net: What was and what will be.

In late 2004 Nippyfish.net, a site for the modern betta enthusiast was launched to the world. It was more then just an informational Betta splendens website, it was my brainchild and the result of almost two years of research and six months of design. It actually came about out of frustration. Researching aquaria and speaking with other Betta enthusiasts left my head whirling in a sea of contradiction and ambiguity. Betta people are about as feisty as their favorite fish and by no means lack confidence nor desire to share their opinions when asked about their Fighters. Some of the advice I was hearing just wasn’t, excuse the pun, holding water. I decided to put together my own site where facts are emphasized as facts, opinions are noted as opinions and the great majority of advice is based in science and first hand experiences.

What does it mean to be “a modern Betta enthusiast?” A modern betta enthusiast is someone who approaches the hobby dynamically, understanding that what was 20 years ago may not be today. The aquarium hobby is always changing and will continue to do so on an almost daily basis with the discovery of new science and the availability of new equipment and products. Even the fish themselves change as breeders discover new genes and emphasize different characteristics of the species. Modern Betta enthusiasts are eager to learn and willing to change their minds as the hobby evolves.

Currently Nippyfish.net is home to over 100 pages of Betta splendens care and general information, controversial articles, Q&A from readers, product and aquaria website reviews and interviews with others in the hobby, not to mention tons of photos and links to other related sites.

In the not-to-distant future I’d like to see Nippyfish.net expand to include betta breeding and show information. In the years to come it may even break off to include a commercial branch where fish or products can be purchased… but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Right now, the focus is on sharing information and spreading an interest in our favorite finned friend, the Siamese Fighting Fish.

Enjoy!
Christie

I love the article on flare buddies. Mine are kept in tanks a few inches apart and they have plants to hide behind, but I still wondered if they were stressing themselves out too much. When I moved them all REALLY far apart, all they did was stare at me until I put them back. It's similar to when I try and fast them, they're like, "Hey aren't you usually feeding us by now?" I think they're so mischievous they love harassing each other, because once they get bored after a few minutes, they just hide under their aquarium bridges or in a plant. But that's not going to kill them, is it?

You have a beautiful and informative space. Thanks! I especially like your suggestions about a larger tank, filter, heater, etc. So many people keep me in tiny cramped little spaces. The pictures on this space are so pretty!
