In 2006, the Bettas4all Show Team organized the 1st Bettas4all Show in the Netherlands (26-27 August, Amsterdam, the Netherlands). The Bettas4all Show was held in a fully acclamatized room of Discus Centrum Amsterdam. The aim of the Bettas4all show was to promote our hobby in the Netherlands by giving the people the opportunity to have a look at these beautiful fish in all their shapes and colors.
With 219 fish entered by 26 breeders from 6 different countries (the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore), the show was a great succes! Our professional judging team consising of Marion Schultheiss (Germany, Head judge), Claire Pavia (Switserland), Jean-Michel Jeannerat (Switserland) and Rajiv Massilamoni (Switserland) did a great job by judging the 14 different show classes according to the Bettas4all Standard.
We would like to thank the following people without whom this show would not have been possible:
- Cor Visser from from Discus Centrum Amsterdam for hosting the show;
- Eric van den Brande and Wart Brijs from Ocean Nutrition for providing the beautiful prices for the class winners and lotery.
- Marc Lammerts from Utilis Communicatie for designing and printing the beautiful certificates for the winners.
- Our local aquarium stores (De Maanvis – Nijmegen; Firma Hanselman – Rotterdam; Siervishandel Eurofish – Rotterdam and Aquarium Speciaalzaak de Gier – Maassluis), Ocean Nutrition and Rinus Hupje for kindly sponsoring the prices for the lottery.
- Herbert Heim for donating sponsering the Best European Breeder award.
