yup thats true, this one just i cant find any good medicine to cure his dropsy disease, been struggling to keep him alive for 3 months already, been with me about 9 months i guess
i guess imma try giant betta since its much bigger, but hard to find good colouration la..

i din know that betta can live up to 5 years... ><!!

the most i heard is only 2years+-(rare) usually 1yr+-

Edmund, maybe i was wrong but i read it from wikipedia n they say "Properly kept and fed a correct diet, B. Splendens lives approximately 2-4 years in captivity" i think some even can reach 5 years.

I used to keep my betta in 1gallon tank but my room aircond temperature always make the tank water temperature around 20 Degrees Celsius. So no choice n have to upgrade to 5gallon tank n + heater, now planning to divide my tank n put 3 betta in it

I think i going kee siao liao, upgrading to bigger tank n planning to get more betta =.="

edmund, need expert advise on how to distingushed semi-giant or fully giant bettas. already see some of them, but their colour la, aiyoo.. always funky/fancy type? dont like that one hehe
(sorry if giant betta is out of topic, thought it is still in the spledens family tree)

btw, longest betta ive had is about 1.5 years, the width body maybe the size of a lighter hehe, too bad that sod died due to balik kampung issues

Added on May 3, 2012, 2:27 pmaiya nobody care wat type of betta de la.. as long as is betta we can discuss here... wild or show or fighter...

(*read at own risk, not 100% accurate,plz correct me if i m wrong)
in giant spawn not all piece will turn into giant ~(some into semi giant or even normal size)_( like last time HM, not all long tail will turn into HM therefore we have SD and delta as well)

some ppl r crossing a giant with normal size betta to create better finnage/color ~ drawback : the size decrease (semi giant)

if u not planning to breed them then buy adult size giant betta which will have minimum 2.5 inch from head to peduncle

otherwise get it from a reputable giant breeder..

I put my betta aquarium beside my computer monitor, so when im bored seeing the monitor i will see the betta. When i playing my com the betta will just hide behind my marimo ball, but when i turn towards the aquarium it will swim out n greed me lol...

my betta always hiding...especially brownorum...but once they decide to spawn....its worth to wait very2 nice colouration appears

This is my Betta n his hiding spot

1st hiding spot






His 2nd Home lol, near the heater when its on




He like to swim against the filter

erm, i think the water level is a bit too high for betta...

very nice tank...maybe you can add on some plant inside there

Wow, darkwaka... That tank of yours could have a huge community of female bettas in it. I second that too, the water level is like a deep blue sea. Don't drown your betta, I'm afraid it will have to swim like mad to get oxygen...

beawolf - ya i was trying to get java moss for the tank, planning to make a carpet..

its hard to find java moss in LFS in klang

edmund - the tank water level is always like this high, the betta will jump out?

Added on May 3, 2012, 9:14 pmshuyin - i was planning to divide my tank into 3 section so i can put 3 betta in it

the water lvl like this for few weeks liao, but my betta like to hang around the middle of the tank

darkwaka, i don't think your betta will jump out so easily. Only the wild bettas will love to jump, especially betta imbellis.

Besides that, you could try out java moss by searching on Mudah.my. It's up for sale though.

Good luck!

maybe plakat wont jump...but "cicak" always interested on them lol....

darkwaka, your tank could actually be turned into a spawning tank without much effort. LOL!

The reason your betta stays in the middle of the tank is due to reason that this will allow it to swim to the surface to breath much easily than staying at the bottom of the tank.

I guess that a small Guppy brand tank of either the 7" or 9" would have sufficed with no filtration needed.

Your tank size could really house something like an arowana already.
