Some Ideas Please

[dmarie04]

I just bought a year's worth of webhosting and a domain name so I can start my own betta website. I know there are a gajillion and one betta sites, so any suggestions to making mine different would be appreciated. I plan to have a basic care page, betta history, breeding page (will be breeding for the first time in a few weeks and will document my own experience), might set up a sale page after bettas are bred, ....what else? I've never set up a web site before, but my husband has, so I'll have lots of help.

say about the illegal fights between the fish and how are wagers put on them

fights aren't illegal.



and marie, something like betta myths, identification of tail types, colouring patterns and such would be awesome keep us updated.

its just that its cruel

its just that its cruel

I agree!

Hmm, I dont know. All the tail types, and how to identify them. Names of the colour variations.
Ideal tank setup.
Warn about keeping other fish with them and say what makes good tank mates.
And maybe a links page?
Goodluck with your site!

 

[dmarie04]

Oh, yes. Tail types and color patterns. Will definitely have info on that. Will mention the betta fights also. Will do some research on that to make sure I get all my info correct. The betta myths is a good idea. I think someone else on here that started a website had a betta myths page. So I might do it a bit different than that. Like maybe just a Do's and Don't page. I am filling up a mini notebook with ideas. Keep them coming. I'll also need pics of different colors and tail types (males and females), so if anyone wants a pic of their fish on the site just send it in a pm (or pm me for my email address). No guarantees that I'll use your pic..but I'll definitely give full credit to you, if I do. B)

You should have a page for wild bettas as i was looking and found some strange facts about them. try do a page for breeding maybe even some things about min tank sizes and have a starting up page and maybe a link to a good starter tank UK and USA.
Good Luck.

Thanks everyone for all your suggestions. I got some info up and will be adding more as I have time (mainly on the weekends). Can we advertise other sites here? If it's ok, I'll just add the link to my signature.

Thanks I like your site, also. Would it be ok to put a link to your site on my "helpful links" page?

[Jaded12]

Most enthusiasts here seem to enjoy looking at photos of other people's fish--maybe a photo gallery for readers to submit their photos.
