jln pudu ulu

thanks

slight correction:

Though, it still remain controversial of the species called Splenden, others like imbellis, smaragdina(might be broke down further into 2 species later on) & a few others falls under the group Splenden...

And the origin of "show grade"...comes from fighter, through selective breeding as well...trace further back, fighter are ordinary species from Splenden group, "trained" & selectively bred for the kiss of death, in the process, successful fighter were released in different localities(bare in mind that other sp of the same group might exist in the released habitat)...

So, after all, people does call show grade betta as Splenden as an easy name(i.e. people in general call them fighting fish), the species of Splenden does falls under the category as well so do fighter...all others? probably the near cousin or far cousin of them unless we want to stereotypically classify them into show, fighter & wild.

Btw, if there's an intention to open up a different discussion for wild betta alone, I'll lend my help, but don't count on the number of people as this is one of it's kind type of hobby(you'll understand the situation over time in the hobby)

As for Imbellis, there's a reason fighting fish is called fighting fish...
Lot of case of imbellis killing each others happen before, though they are nick named as peaceful fighter, it does happen when you does not match the number of fishes well with deco & tank size plus other factors i.e. separately house them before, mixing new batch of fish with an existing batch in tank and so-on


@Faez, any result from Cybervida, Tussyae & brownies?

Hello there c.way, pleased to know of the details. Anyway, I got to know of your name from Faesz. Honored to see you here!

You were right about the term that bettas are known as fighting fish as they do fight. That is their nature though.

Besides that, even betta bellicas do tussle around although being said as the most tamed betta species from a video I saw.

I've lost one of my two betta bellicas, mistakenly that I have been given both males and placed them in the same tank and one of them just nip the other brutally.

tussyae male still unsettle lol...dunno why...going to do water change for them...this time using rain water....Livida spawn already....but fry that survive just a few....they spawn not in the right timing...temperature rising like hell in the 2 day before free swim...currently they in post spawning again....bobby brown still juvi la i think...before this have problem about the male try to kill the female..now they living together peacefully...now have coccina and persephone 2 pair already ...one batch buy from mudah guy...one more batch originaly from johor...go their collect by my self ...maybe will add livida tg malim...livida sepang already know someone keeping it but dunno how to reach him la hehehe....

haha, can do if you know understand them, too bad that u people came along to the scene so late as I've already quitted, being too tired to carry on the species maintainance on the effort of only a few whom mostly quitted or go low profile


congrate , if problem spawning, throw to me, just supply me with the live food, the impossible can be done with me

LOL. Faesz told me the same thing, that you have quit. I came into wild bettas too late.

I've just resume getting into bettas some Feb this year after some 10 years absence. Been playing with plakats, fighter and some veiltails back in 2002 or 2003.

Am more into imbellis and bellica for the time being. The super rare and endangered ones I'm feeling rather worried to try my luck. Keeping is one thing, breeding them is another issue. Haha!

Good luck to you c.way, hope you will resume your passion and let it spark again.

Would love to meet the community of wild bettas masters someday. Thankfully I've met Faesz and to me he's one crazy wild betta guy already.

hehehe.......maybe brownorum lol....i dont want them to die without any heir ....this time no more quitting la c.way..but keeping this 5 sp only..just keeping them as long as possible,let them rot's in my tank hahaha... currently crazy to see channa spawning 1 pair formed already for channa bleheri....mistaken lol...my fish is channa stewartii cf barca..not barca..sorry...barca will cost me a lot of K's for it... plus hard to get the source

Hehe. Good luck to your 5 sp.. May the force be with you. LOL!

I'm happy with my batch of fries right now. Smaragdina copper spawned, so did a pair of imbellis.

How was your Sabah trip? Did you go down to Kalimantan or Borneo for some species like Macrostoma or such?

i go there working lol...dont have time to scooping fish there...beside,dunno where to scoop hahaha

betta cyberlivida loca spawn twice now

Awesome!

Anyway, pity the jungle behind your house. On Saturday I went there with my friends for jungle trekking and hiking, police cordon and UPM officials surrounded the area.

maybe that not your lucky fay...try next time

could it possible for a 4weeks fry to survive w/o food for 4days??
away from home now.. haishh

Sure. No problem. If you have them in a tank, i.e Guppy brand tank of say 7" or 9" with say 8cm to 10cm of water, that should be fine. Of course, before you leave home, drop in some crunched pellets or tubifex worms into extreme powder form, feed a teaspoonful. Job done! Good luck.

I do put some crushed pellets but not so much as a teaspoonful. Hope that will be enough

Haha. That should have sufficed then. A teaspoonful, not the scoop as full as a mountain but just flat scoop. Have fun!

no fungus will appear on leftover food? try put 1 pellet or any food in 1 jar fill wil water...see the result after 2-3 day.

Guys any1 know where i can get java moss in klang area (LFS)?

just upgrade my tank to 5 gallon n need some plant for my betta to hide =.="

my marimo moss ball looks very small in a spacious 5 gallon tank lol
