i expecrt lower....hehehehe

hahaha... yeah actually i think kinda expensive coz i expect rm3 but the pet owner wont give event rm1 discount. i think just rm1 why need to hustle myself find other pet shop, here in tronoh this is the oni one pet shop. if go elsewhere car petrol n all i think more than the rm1 i want to save


btw what is the price u expect?

for that quality...i expect RM1.50...personally think u got ripped off

BTW, do u know how many % aquarium shops make for each sale of bettas? Approx. 200-300%(min). In the past, i have personally supplied an aquarium shop with low grade crowntails for rm1.50 each....only to find out that he was selling each for RM25. Also found out that aquarium shops purchase veil tails for only 30 sen each.

hahahaa.....hav to understand the shop situation also ma....n given the price, they hav to take in big bulk....
this coming trip back to my hometown, i try to go n find 1 of my fren, his father is a local betta breeder....hehehehe...
hope to get some good stuff from him....

wooo.... rm4 - rm0.30. thats HUGE!!!
nvm loo wat to do. buy already. some ppl want to kaya cepat
just for future reference. where is the best place to buy betta that dont ripped ppl off?
seriously, i dont mind pay more if the fish is worth the price but not like this la rm1.50 sell for rm4.

actually, aquarium shops do NOT have to take in much....their bulk in terms of bettas would be 30-50 bettas which is not much in terms of the amount of frys expected to get from each spawn.

yeah thats wat i planning to do at 1st... but to buy a fish for rm30++ for a first timer like me is really risky maa. so i opted to buy a betta at the nearest pet shop to try 1st. nvm la rm2-3 get ripped off no need to make a big fuss. haha.

btw my betta is always look hungry. always like come to the bottom of the aquarium and find food. although i just feed him like at 9pm. should i feed summore?

u should be happy to have a hungry betta....hehehehe...eat more mean healthier.....but in turn the water will get dirty or clouded faster...kekekekek

what is java moss call in malay? or local name? anyone knows? where i can buy them?

gosh thanks for the info. hmm any idea how to get bettas to breed? my pair doesn't seem to want to breed and i had to separate the female since the male keeps harrassing her.

there are a few variations to the way to get bettas to breed. Well, this is (or was) my way. Use 2 see-thru (transparent) containers of different sizes(1 small and 1 big- make sure the smaller container can fit into the big container) Place the female into the small container and the male into the big container(same water level for both containers). Place a half-cut styrofoam cup floating in the big container for male to build the nest. Leave them there for a few days until both of them are ready. Siphon the uneaten/faeces everyday and top-up a lil water. The female will show vertical stripes when she is ready. I normally let her 'fatt hao' abit until she stops running from the male and the male calms down abit. Then i transfer her into the big container. Then, fingers crossed

that's what i'm currently doing, she did have the vertical stripes but still nothing else happen, male still chasing her around. and sometimes i come back to find that she managed to somehow get into the bigger bowl, probably jump over the coke bottle i put in =/ i got lots of water cabbage and the male did build his nest a few times. you think they will still want to mate ah? haha..

I guess u the male is not ready yet...

mayb ur male is hungry?? need more food???

hungry? it doesn't make sense

normally wat i do is, before putting the female into male living area, i will feed the male full full 1st.....it prevent from the male to attack the female as he is hungry, also when the male is full, they then to be less aggresive..... some sort of like this....totally own opinion....

i seriously doubt there is such a thing....never heard of b4 maybe some sifus can shed some light on this

hahahaha......yea, mayb some real sifu may help....that is totally my own experience and idea....

hey guys i think my betta is really sick.

extremely poor water condition. Try changing water everyday. Make sure u r using anti-chlorine(do not overdose/underdose). Make sure u put in a pinch of aquarium salt. From the looks of it, your betta could die within these few days
