Hmm... Slight crowning expression... Slightly rounded edge... Shows MG colouration, though not very distinguished.... Maybe the light coloured variant... Caudal fin too short / anal fin too long...

If me, I wouldn't take it. I like stronger colours... biggrin.gif
But beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. So if you like it, then price would not be an issue  biggrin.gif

nola...not getting any bettas....no time to care for them...

I used normal tap water treated with the stuff said in my last post on my siamese ones before, they were fine for awhile but died about I think 10 months later. I did the same for the crowntails but they had pop-eye, so I switched to drinking water I purchased from the supermarket. They were ok in that for awhile but didn't for long.... I didnt add anything to the drinking water, I just used it straight from the bottle. Tried reverse osmosis water as well, same results.

I change it more often when the water is dirty, but regularly every 5 days to a week. 50/50 water change. I've also tried this pump-like thing that allows you to suck only the dirty stuff from the bottom of the tank/container, keeps the water longer from being changed.

pH? I don't know. :S
*
the normal life span of bettas are around 1-2 years....not like dogs tongue.gif and to betta breeders, the only use of bettas are to stay beautiful and multiply laugh.gif

PH? hehe...last time when i was still an active betta breeder, i also neglect the PH part....

Hey guys need some help... one of my bettas eyes has become very big, like popeye like that. How should I go about treating it and any idea what might have caused it?
*
buy the medicine for popping eye...some bacteria infection...could be caused by dirty food or dirty water...

Strange my fish gets it although I change the water every 4 days or so. Any brand of medicine recommended? Or as long as its for popeye then its ok?
*
4 days is too long...i used to change the water everyday! 2 days is also fine but 4 days is definitely too long. Any branded medicing will do the trick...just make sure it is medicine for pop eye...not the fish shop's universal medicine(the green coloured liquid) tongue.gif Good luck to your fish!! thumbup.gif

Ok, will try to change the water more often then. I bought Ocean Free Internal Bacteria & Ulcer Away, it says on the label it can be used to cure popeye as well.
Quote my dad: " It costs more than 6 of your bettas !" Oh well *shrugs*

sweat.gif what can you do? bettas are so cheap nowadays...its totally different if u are rearing show quality bettas...and after all, you only need to use a few drops of the medication tongue.gif

I saw a petstore selling a HM and DT for RM108.... Do you think that's a rip off?

TOTALLY! tongue.gif the HM and DT lines are unknown so got no guarantees....better off buying from betta breeders tongue.gif maybe cheaper

Bah. I don't think I want to keep bettas anymore. I was doing PK's water change and noticed that he has raised scales. It looks like dropsy. ~_~
*
dropsy? wow...that only happened to me once because i was still noobish then and i used to change the water whenever i feel like up to it:P

Sorry to hear that. My fish isnt getting any better either, although I am medicating him and changing water more often. I think he is already blind in that eye because he doesnt give responce when I wave my finger on his "blind" side. Still having good appetite though, so I'll just wait and see how it goes.
*
if your fish has dropsy, there is a very slim chance of curing it....pop eye will just take time....maybe a week or so...

Ynneb: Yeah, I know. That's why I have resigned myself to letting PK enjoy the rest of his days eating bloodworms and living in a clean big bungalow. :S

a slim chance...still got chance ma...its like cancer to humans...still got chance to live...leave the betta on medication and see how things go...good luck!!

I think there must be something horribly wrong with the aged water. It seems everytime I change water, his condition worsens. Now I just use tap water + anti chlorine.
*
a cheap anti chlorine can also cause the aged water to be worse off.

PK is still alive but not eating and definitely not flaring. Dunno when he's gonna go.

But I am wondering - how to sanitize his tank once he does go ar???
*
pour in boiling hot water into the tank(if it is not plastic)....if it is plastic...pour in some dettol tongue.gif (jk jk)

hey guys, my 2 months old betta (2 months since i bought it la) suddenly today showed symptoms of fin rot. so i quickly went n change the water. put salt, anti chlorine n all.

but now, within a couple of hours. it's conditions changed drastically to the worst. it's whole body is turning pale n it's just floating around at the bottom of the tank. what's wrong with it?

i'm quite saddened about this. i think it's not going to make it pass the night.

just a few minutes after this, it died. sigh...
*
hmm....fin rot normally doesn't kill them...anti chlorine overdose maybe?

Hello Guys.
I just thought of something. Ramadhan is just around the corner. After ramadhan will be hari raya. And we know what that means... BALIK KAMPUNG!!!  rclxm9.gif
I have had my betta for half a year now and has never left him unattended. Ill be going back to batu pahat/kluang this raya (which is 3 hours drive from bangi) for one whole week. Do you guys bring along your bettas when going away for a long period of time or do you guys hand them over to someone else for safekeeping? I prefer to bring him along but im afraid he could not survive the 3 hour journey (heat and all)  sweat.gif
*
if u pack nicely sure can tahan one....no problems at all...
