Bettas4all.nl is proud to announce the 7th edition of the Holland Betta Show which will be held during the 24th edition of the Holland Koi Show in the beautiful Castle Gardens of Arcen, the Netherlands.

The Holland Betta Show 2016 can be found in the tent of the Holland Aquarium Show and is a unique opportunity for Bettas4all to introduce our beautiful hobby to the public. A dedicated team of experienced betta hobbyists will provide you with all the necessary information with respect to the keeping, breeding and showing of show bettas.
At the show approximately 300 show Bettas of different color and finnage varieties will be shown. The fish will be judged on vitality, color, finnage, bodyshape and overall appearance by a team of experienced hobbyists according to the Bettas4all standard© to determine the winners of the various showclasses and the special prices. It will also be possible for the visitors to purchase some quality fish for a reasonable price.

We are proud to announce that this year a unique additional competition will be added to the Holland Betta Show 2016:
“Koi” Bettas judged by Koi judges!
Besides being judged according to the Bettas4all Standard©, all "koi marbles" will be judged according to their pattern by certified Koi judges.
