Hi, just got myself a Betta plakat...or something like that.
I put it in a 0.75 gallon tank

Looks like after giving a few type of dried food, never eat.

Later a mosquito bite me and I manage to squash it and gave the Betta to eat, and was shocked it ate the mosquito liked it was its fav food


Cheers





Some mods I did to the Hob filter by adding foam to the opening to reduce water flow to the minimum, reroute the internal water flow in the Hob and also add BioRings....HOB is Nice88 model

Cheap one...RM15, but I think I see other places selling RM5.

But I dun mind, I love that Betta, he was the most active one and looking like a fighter when I bought it.

Anyway, its a ferocious eater, but now I limit it to 2 times a day and about 10 micro pallets each feed
Once a while I feed it with ants or mosquito.

Thinking of getting a few more Bettas too.

No, so far only pallets and small insects

I giving AZOO 9in1 Betta Pallets that's available at my taman Aquarium shop.
Probably trying out Hikari or Ocean Nutrition Betta.

Is bloodworm good for the Betta? I mean those Canned stuff?

Problems is most packing takes forever to finish by 1 Betta
Unless can share between a few buddies.

Thinking of getting those RM5 Betta water conditioner too, suppose to have Daun Ketapang content.

My aquarium:



thinking of DIY Betta leaf Hammock as well.

Got it from the Aquarium shop, but needs real cleaning.

I've ordered this:


Too much for my Betta

Anyone wants to exchange 10grams with me with another food type?
Freezed mosquito larvae, Brime Shrimp, NLS Betta pallets, Betta Pro pallets etc OK.
So that Betta gets different menu instead of same thing everyday.

Exchange free of course other than postage. Use slow mail also OK.

Thx

Aquarium RM20 0.75gal tank. But better spend more to get a min 1gal tank. I think thats RM30

This is for me new experience and knowledge.

Fluval Spec is mostly for planted or small fish community tank.

It no point keeping a betta in a Fluval Spec without doing a planted aquarium.

For something simple, i rather get 2~3 mini aquariums (1~2 gallons) and keep a few Bettas instead of 1 lone Betta in a Fluval Spec 5 gal tank.
Once you play betta, you sure wanna get a few more. So keep the cost lower by getting a cheaper tank and a simpler setup.
Whatever it is, start with 1 1gal tank first. After you are confident, can add another one.

And Betta in a small tank dont like other fishes, maybe a small snail will do.

Please don't spend more than RM100 for a Betta tank, unless you decide to decorate it as well.

Cheers

Nice, the betta food also expensive one, you must really pamper your betta

Just wanna ask you a question.

I was thinking of getting 5 bettas to display in my living room. Those Marina EZ betta tank you got is the 2L or 2.5Liter ones? Looks a bit small.

Thanks for the info, i'll check it out. Trying to get a 3L tank cos afraid its too small. Overseas got sell the Marina 3L version. But after you say the 2.5L is good enough, i might just buy it. Cant find a proper betta tank locally, they are either too small, too thin and cheap material and not so presentable amd cost more than RM50.
