''Armadillo'' Line (Author: BettySplendens) (Date Submitted: 3/7/2010) The "Armadillo" line was nearly lost when I took a break from the hobby in 2005, but has been rebuilt using a few fish still being worked from the original line which belonged to a friend of mine, and some new imported blood which had a very similar look.

. Stock shop update COMPLETE.. Sorry for the delay everyone. We've recently found out that the old man and I are expecting a baby, and while that is very exciting, it is also very tiringnauseatingterrifying unexpected, considering my medical history.

Thanks so much for the outpouring of love, support, and good wishes. I feel so lucky to count so many friends within this hobby :).

When you look at the price tag on some of these fish, Wow!, it looks like I'm making a killing! So I'm going to address the money-making potential in bettas, and what that requires of you.
