Aqua Salt izzit those that sell 1 packet that dunhav brand one?
I scare the tauke here also dunno how to differentiate aqua & sea salt

Hi there Taro, I dunno if the way I train is good or not, lol, but it definitely is easy for me as well. haha. How are the two bettas doing?
Are you "poking" them like i told you to? Hahaha.

Heheh.... Anyone keeps imbellis? Wild ones? I just caught two today while working...

No idea how to keep them alive.... When trying to catch them, so darn hard... Swimming about like crazy only they all... But now that they are caught, adoi..... Fins clamped, colour dulled down so drastically, but still eat la the pellets i give... Now culturing some bbs to persuade them to eat more....


Oh ya, btw jit, HP's red line are mostly longtails la.... only 5-6 are HMPKs... and some more about 1/3 are cambodians, and a few more are butterfly... and of the reds, some are developing golden scales all over on the body.... HP's line, very interesting results man..... Only a few has his original full body red coloration....

wanna ask something - do bettas mix well with other fishes (non-betta) or things such as crayfish or crabs in the same aquarium?

I heard bettas can live with corydoras and plecos. In some shops I see them mixing female bettas with guppies and other tropical fish also, but not sure advisable or not. Crayfish better not, later your betta no more tail.

female bettas can mix with any normal community fish
male bettas, do not mix with fish that will nip their fins, or do not mix with other fishes with long/fancy fins (such as angel & guppies) or else the bettas will attack. apart from that, do not mix with fish that resembles bettas

but then again, how do u actually determine whether it's a male or female? females have shorter tails or something?

hmm u bring up like that good loh, at least for me lah, hehehe cos not so worries when change water. the copper one ah, i see the tail abit bigger, they both show agrressive oh.. the small one more garang.

change their water every 3 days, put the leaf, 'fight' 2 times a day. morning n evening.. heehehe then eat 2 times a day also morning n evening, abit lah.. not give alot, later water dirty n salty..

then..... they are beautiful loh.. poke poke them every evening then give food. hehe.. but they still not sure wat i am doing.. so i am like syok sendiri there hahaha..

oh my copper color darker oh.. sometime see blue, sometime red, sometime copper.. hahahhaha soooooooooooooooo beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!
