1st Bettas4all Show  
     
   

In August 2006 a long time dream came true, the first Betta show in the Netherlands! On Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th of August 2006, the Bettas4all Team organized the 1st Bettas4all Show which was held at Discus Centrum Amsterdam. With this show we hoped to make this hobby more familiar and popular in the Netherlands and to give people the possibility to have a look at these beautiful fish in all their shapes and colors.
