4 bucks per kilo. am i being slaughtered or that's the market price?

rm10 then from that look it might be delta or superdelta...

ynneb who r u anyway?

last time i heard of few betta breeder also in PJ,david(subang jaya),Foo(PJ),then if not mistaken theres 1 red halfmoon breeder chua issit from melaka..he got a house turn to farm..then penang got another chua if not mistaken..johor i know 1 of them but forgotten call what name already..he give his betta for free to anyone who wanna breed them..

Guys, can i give Fighting Fish normal fish foods?

And can i put them in just a small aquarium? Do i need to pump the water?

wow looks like you all are oldbird unlike me... rookie

nop..i duno any breeder from klang..but last time they like to meet out at jinjang..normally i buy from aquabid..i duno got jalan eh got ppl can transport from thai to m'sia..aiyo..cos 25usd shipping from thai very exp..can get a decent HM ledi 

I've bought a smaller container and removed my betta from my 2 feet aquarium. Now i can take photo with it much easier.... so mine is superdelta betta or halfmoon betta?

The first pic is taken when there's not enough room light and the 2nd pic is taken with a small emergency light turned on next to the container.



I've also bought a female.... they seem to start curling each other already. need to ask you experts what should i do next when i see eggs on the surface? Remove the female?

Thx.

ok.....I will post later.....Cost me RM99....ZZZ....But very normal.

Normal set up but cost me RM99+The stuff make the tank clean+TANK itself+Stone+Light.....

LOL! i'd do that too.. HAHA.. try ask for "wong fun" if the LFS is owned by chinese. if he still don't know what is that, then pls own him.

after eggs hatched when should i start feeding? when they fries up n down up n down(fries drop down from nest after hatched) ? or when they floating around?

i try to ask lfs and they give me a frozen larve, i don't think fries ate it coz they died

after 3days..u check on their egg sac..u can start feeding when u cant see their egg sac anymore..but some which hatch earlier will need to be feed earlier..so u havent to monitor them...raising those little fella more troublesome then breeding them 

u can start ur own culture also..

daphnia live on algae,so need green water(contain infusoria also)..u can make your own green water by using pelleted chicken manure..then when the water is ful with algae..some ppl use brewers yeast with about 25 frozen peas, several spinach leaves, a tablespoon of sweet potato baby food to feed them..but im not sure will this work anot..

but some other ppl will throw in lotsa shit inside to make the green water..most important is those green water..I even read about some breeder went hunt their own daphnia in the "tahi logi" then they clean it themself..the water in tahi logi is food for dahpnia 

weird..it become thick & something will be floating ontop?like shit?

what did u use to make the green water?

try using spinach & lettuce..boil it 1st & cool in room temp then throw them into the water see how it goes..

Hello everyone. I'm new here. Glad to see a lot of ppl actually love bettas and care for them!! We need more ppl like this especially with the knowledge and interest to jaga bettas workin in pet shops. I got damn angry seeing how bettas are kept in commercial pet shops... you know what I'm talkin about la... >.>

Anyways, I've been reading up somewhat about betta... and I heard from some breeder that the algae or izzit the daphnia (that lives on algae) eats the betta punya shit.... which is good.

1-So the question is... maybe this sounds dumb but izzit safe to keep the betta + algae together in an aquarium? Cuz I takut the water become lagi dirty, then the betta fall sick. So it's safe to assume that the betta eats the daphnia that lives on the algae and the algae eats the shit of the betta? Like 1 cycle liddat.

2-Izzit can use tap water *without anti-chlorine* as aquarium water?

3-And does anyone knows where to find ketapang tree in PJ??

4-Any good recommendations on buying betta live foods such as larvae, white worms, bloodworms, brine shrimp, dapnia from any shop? Got any shop sell kah? Can culture sendiri oso I know but then have to monitor closely lo... if not eg: larvae will jadik mosquito then damn syiok my house nanti.

5-I'm also looking for bettas particularly HM/ DT/Rosetail; multicolour, butterly or marble....transparent oso nice. Better if it's from a breeder or owner and not a pet shop.... Send me a picture. XD

Thanks for all the help yeah.

Thanks so much, ynneb25 and inv!! XDD Damn fast you guys reply!! LOLOL! For your info, I've reared a betta before but unfortunately it died. So I wanna keep 1 again... I notchet buy la but I wanna prepare a home + makanan for the betta 1st before I keep it. So that everything will be in order.

Although I baca some info... but I memang n00b la. Hahaha. XD

1. If I use rain water instead of tap water oso can right? Even if it's aciditic... I read the pH level oni at 5 liddat... bettas usually prefer pH 6-7, right? T_T

2. As for the ketapang leaves. Haha. Thank you yeah!! XD Will go check them out soon.

3. If I still wanna feed my betta mosquito larvae how? Got shop sell kah? T_T Tak mungkin right.... nanti kena saman.

Btw, your name is Benny izzit? XD

-Is it safe to assume that bettas fit well with all types of fresh water aquatic plants? And that when we plant the plants together, they won't kacau each other? Like fight for sunlight/etc? Maybe I'm mixing them up with plants on land... O_o I just know that the plants' leaves or ornaments mustn't be too sharp la or else the betta fin can koyak wan.

-As for the gravel and sand for the bottom, anything oso can right?? X3

my betta keep on dying..expensive betta from Thai I bought all die 1 by 1 cause by fin rot..

tried ageing the water also same..so better stop..maybe its due to the water in my area..not very sure..haha
