This is my 1st succesful attempt in frying bettas
have done it many times but this one is the succesful one, i'm proud of it

i already divided the fries since i saw them fighting & chasing each other especially the male
got 5 fries, 4 females & 1 male
from what i observed, the male gonna grow it's tail longer

the fries actually 2 month ++

if u haven't started feeding live food, better start now.. else the growth will be stunted. by the time they are the right size, they'll be quite old liao..

This is the hardest part to raise CT. Normally, the needles drop or curl due to water condition. I will advise you to change your water more often, apply some salt. But I cannot guarantee that the needles will grow back even.

Hi,

May i know how often you change water? it look abit bad on the tail...there is nothing much you can do already....

every 2 weeks~~can't do anything? i went to a lfs...the sifu ask me to cut it...ouchh so painful~~

so can i cut it? need special care on it?
and i juz bought 3 female....can place in an aquarium?

in mandarin = "xian qiu ying" , in cantonese i think = "sui wong huen"


Erm ... the dorsal/top, anal/bottom, fins might grow new "needles" but the caudal if you cut it, the length, rays that grow will not be the same..

tq sifu yewlin & matasu666

no problem....but i still noob here, matasu666 got more knowledge than me....i always learn from him one

mantasu666,

u got nice avatar man, is it your betta?
want to sell it? how much?

Have you face this problem - I try to breed the bettas. The male flares like hell and the female shows mating stripes. But the males did not blow a single bubble? How can I encourage him to build bubble net? I think he is well-conditioned and active. I even put some black water extract.

let assume u're doing everything by the book, i.e.
1. male is in side a 5-10 gallon aquarium with plants for the female to hide.
2. a 'container' for him to blow the bubblenest (half-cut styrofoam cup or just a bunch of floating leaves)
3. female is in a 'viewing chamber' inside the aquarium

then give him a day or 2 before u release the female. he shud blow bubblenest by then. if he has not, then do not despair, release the female after 3 days but keep a close watch. they sometime uses surface tension to hold the eggs up.

good luck and welcome to the most exciting part as a betta enthusiast!
