Show Your Fish!

n_a2
So, you've done your homework, bred your fishies, which developed into beautiful bettas ... now what? Why not show them in one of our area Betta shows? It's not rocket science, your fish don't have to be "perfect" and you don't even have to be a member of the IBC to start showing in our New Breeders Program!

What's Hot at IBC Sales

Our Current Specials
Welcome to the IBC

Here at the IBC we keep betta, breed betta, show betta, and most of all, we talk betta to anyone who wants to talk about them.

We look for color, fins, deportment; and we love to argue, which is the most important. Some study the genetics of a betta, some could care less about all of the above and just want one of these people-friendly fish to call a pet.

Wherever you are we would like you to look into our club and see if you might want to be part of it. We have seminars, put on betta shows, have betta auctions and sometimes just talk. Look in the "Chapters" page to see if there is a local chapter near you.
