my betta fell into the sink hole when i was cleaning his tank... he fell inside ( it wasnt any filter ) thought he cant make it, so i keep the water running bit by bit. Unfortunately i cant see him anymore. when i almost gave up, suddenly saw his tail peeking through and i caught him by the tail... PHEW ! i was really scared, never clean it near the sink without the filter anymore... He was without water for almost 5 min... real tough fish
oh guys, wanna know do you always put aquarium salt everytime you change the water ? or occasionally ?
don try at toilet also.. ><!!
i add little bit of salt every time i wc... wc once a week..
morning! bought a simple betta from one of the traditional petshops near my place. brought him this morning to his new 'home' in my office room - is there anything that i can add to his water to destress him a bit?
and how long do betta's live? how old are the ones normally sold? tq.
there is some lousy red dt hmpk at age 1 month plus now....u can scoop it
i like to scoop lousy sharp edge hmpk nia.. dun fancy DT that much..

betta's live quite long actually, could live a year or two if taken care well enough. kinda hard to estimate the age of the bettas sold in petshops. most betta reach adulthood and size at 3 months of age.

what do you use as a medication to prevent fungus on betta eggs? blue menthely is it? how much is? my eggs got hit by a fungus storm right after using new water before the spawning begins >.< my first attempt failed..sigh
btw, where to get those betta imbellis and mahachai? and how much do they cost each...really interested in them >.<
sorry, i mean, before they start spawning in the community tank, i transferred them into another tank with fresh water..
hurm, will do..
since u transfer them to fresh water already,then u still need worry wat? i usually use aged water without adding any ketapang or any other med to the spawn tank.

@@... then now? still got egg? the male still with them?
eggs got engulf by an entity like dandelion seeds..
waited for 3 days to ensure any surviving fries hatched, but none made it so have to throw them away since dont want to risk any infection on the male
already quarantine both of the male and female for a week now. now female already moved back to her community tank and male already put back in his 3g bowl.
