yeah i've been waiting some time already, the male made quite a lot of bubble nest but then gone the next day. maybe i'll just get more females, let him choose hehe. anyone care to donate?

haha i'm just joking ler.. there's a pet shop at old town which sells females for RM1 only instead of RM2 in kl sentral. oh besides, pet shops are considered expensive, if you check a few pages back, can see that ppl sell to them at about 30sen each for a lousy quality fish.

wahlauweh that's a rip off! btw, normal veiltail female?

hmm what type of betta is that? got any pic?

if you look a few pages back, you can find some knowledgable betta owners who can help you. but bettas are probably one of the easiest pets to be taken care of cause they're very tough. bettas don't need fancy aquarium tanks with pumps or filters, just a jar or fish bowl since they breathe through the surface of the water. change the water once or twice a week, and make sure to use aged water (take water from a pond for example). feed once or twice a day with live food or pellets.

more info can be found here: http://bettysplendens.com/articles/home.imp

or google it

giant/carrefour or any hypermarket should have i think. you got baby bettas adi ah?

err you don't actually suck from the straw with your mouth right? lol. and your bettas eat a bit of algae ah? mine doesn't wan, then whatever little bit that's there will grow

welcome!

mind to share your picture of the bug-eyed fellow?

oh you using the syphon method.. your straw has to be pretty long though. for it to work, the outer part of the straw has to be longer than the part inside the water.

*edit - you're not using the syphon method, just realised lol.. well yours will be pretty tedious but it'll work too. the fastest is probably the syphon method which you place those flexible straws, shorter end in the water and longer end outside (with water in the straws also), then release your finger at the outer part of the straw then the water will automatically be sucked out. i use it for my little pond using a short garden hose.

shouldn't be any harm if they bite the tube mah, my fish likes to nibble on my finger cause they're so used to me feeding them with mosquitoes that whenever they see my finger they think i got mosquito for them so they bite lol. and it's not painful, just like normal fish nibble so i doubt that they'll bring any harm to your straws/tube.

lol change the water 1 shot only la, save you the trouble of looking for their poo.

hmm different ppl have different perception, like if you see a few pages back, someone said he does 100% change and others may do 70% change. for me i do 100% but the water that i get is from my pond, which they're already used to so it's fine with them.

lol.. i won't go smell my fish bowl cause i know my pond water doesn't smell too well itself. BUT it's clear fresh water, just that got lots of algae in it

female oso make bubble?? err i never see before like that lol. any pics of the male and female?

lol that's interesting. where did you get the extra eggs from to drop into their bubble?

the pet stall i saw in kl sentral only has veiltails i think, i didn't see any HM. the males are RM3 and females are RM2. there are lots of other pets so you can have a look around and be amused, especially the hamsters

it's the road to the monorail where it looks like a bazaar. the pet stall is on the left hand side, nearer the monorail station.

*OT* yup the hamsters there are really cute and funny. here's a video of one:



i've heard about the feng shui thing too but i don't really know what's the reason behind it. why is it pantang to keep bettas ah?

erm i only know of pet shops and that kl sentral one. if you want nicer ones then you'd have to look for breeders. try going to the betta forum that was previously mentioned cause they say that forum is more active than this thread

lol then go to that stall, you can see more funny acts of those hamsters.
bettas got sharp tails meh? i think the veiltail not too bad mah, like mine. females even better, but then not so pwetty.

ouh that's probably the reason behind the sharp fins, cut through family relationship lol.. aiya don't care only la.. if you have 1 fish then it won't be fighting what.. it'll love you more instead haha. mine always come swim towards me whenever it sees me cause i'll bring the food for it.

oh erm.. then i guess you'll have to ask around here la. good luck finding a breeder.
