In order to get a better impression of the Holland Betta Show here a small day-to-day report:
On Thursday 19th of August 2010, the Bettas4all Show Team started in the early morning to build up the Holland Betta Show stand in the Holland Aquarium tent at the Holland Koi Show. We first started with the construction of the tables which were constructed by Gerrit Wisseborn. Later the EHBBC racks were screwed together and in the early afternoon we were ready to fill in the tanks. Because we were not sure if the temperature in the Holland Aquarium tent would be stable in the first night we decided to install the heating matts. After this we could start the benching with the fish around 15.00h. The benching was ready around 19.00h and in the evening we divided the benched fish into 16 showclasses in order to speed up the judging on the next day. We returned at the farmhouse where we were sleeping around 22.00h where we still have some nice chat and drinks before we went to sleep.









On Friday 20th August 2010, we first had a nice breakfast at the farmhouse. We arrived at the show at 8.00h and after checking all the fish at 8.30h the judging team started to judge the different showclasses. At 9.30h, the show opened to the public. Around 13.00h the judging team managed to have all classes judged and we decided which fish won the special prizes such as (r)BOSM and (r)BOSF and off course the juryprize. At around 15.00h it was possible for the public to purchase some quality showbettas. At 18.00h the show closed to the public and after preparing the showstand for the next day we returned to the farmhouse for a BBQ with lots of great food, drinks and awsome conversations.

On Saturday 21th August 2010, the show opened for the public at 9.30h. As expected this day was very busy with visitors and it was possible to purchase some quality showbettas during the entire day. In the afternoon our stand was filmed by AquanetTV. At 18.00h the show closed to the public and again we prepared the showstand for the next day. In the evening we returned to the farmhouse for another great BBQ evening!

The "Betta-relax corner"

On Sunday 22th August 2010, the show opened for the public at 9.30h. At 10.00h it was time for the awards ceremony which was attented by all the participating breeders and a lot of public. It was great to see that so many different breeders from various countries had won prices with their fish. After drinking some champagne to celebrate the prices and the succes of the Holland Betta Show 2010 we made a group picture. At 11.00h it was now also possible to purchase some of the award winning fish. After again a busy afternoon the show ended at 18.00h and we started to break down our stand.

Vraiment un très bon show, on a passé de très bons moments sur place et au gîte où quasi tous les participants logeaient
L'occasion de rencontrer les gens des forums pour de vrai et de discuter betta avec de très nombreux visiteurs qui venaient peut être plus voir des kois au départ ce qui est également très intéressant.
Un vrai séjour linguistique également lol, ça m'a donné envie de me remettre à l'allemand
On a aussi pu découvrir le monde des kois, vraiment étonnant, et voir de magnifiques crevettes lors du show dédié
On vous postera les photos dans le salon avec RDS

Felicitations pour vos prix
