I tot want to keep a betta in a big horlicks bottle with some java moss inside, does tat affect anything ?
What do i need to look out for & any advices if im going keep a betta?

May i ask why need salt?
Also need full water change or half-water change?

oic.
Usually where you all brought ur betta one?
I just tot of getting a budgetable one, now need to clear a bit of my moss bowl, too much moss inside liao

Not alot la, but got spare lor, cause the bowl of moss is my extra moss that i put in experiment one But my moss is not in perfect condition even in my fish tank, many is skinny' moss, b'cause i didnt use any fert, didnt use any co2, co2 im only use on the 1st time only..


ya, i notice that, but i dunhav so much of budget to get a pretty one

how about those use in cooking one & also those which are like those sugar size one? how much for a bottle of aqua salt?

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

yesterday just got a Betta, dunno what's the type looks a bit like Delta tail or HM, i dunno..too bad currently dunhav a camera.

Anyway, i want to ask, is Ketapang leaf easy to find around housing area? Because my place over here didn't sell ketapang leaf, & is there any other kind of leaf can replace the ketapang ?
Currently my betta is in a small tank with Java fern together, & from what i hav observe until now, it frequently will flaring its tail, even when i'm not near it, does this mean anything ? & why does it didn't show its fierce face when facing the mirror?
One last question, do we need to add salt everytime when do water change ?


Is any of the below is the ketapang leaf ? not really good in differentiate even i watched the previous ketapang picture in this thread.
btw, what do we need to do first b4 putting the leaf into the betta tank?

Haha, your dad is very geng !
So, all the 3 picture i uploaded is ketapang leaf ?
& i just need to boil them like boiling a driftwood ? usually how long does it need to boil ? I think i just put in 1 piece is enough, since the tank is small.

then after using the Ketapang leaf on my tank, can i still used it another time ?

Ok, thanks for all the information ..

u also is one of the sifu here.

btw, want to ask those expert including u, do breeding betta easy ? i mean does it so complicated to breed?

Oh...is a valuable information for me.
Then usually do we put single male with multiple female in breeding process? how to prevent them to getting in a fight?

Oh.. i look through those breeding infor. about the mating part.
about taking care of the fry, does it necessary needed the sponge filter in the early stage?
Anyway is just my curiosity wants to know, won't be start so early for breeding yet

btw, is it ok to put my betta tank beside with my big fish tank ?
will the betta be flaring everyday, cause my big tank got a golden gourami inside

I put in half of leaf around 2 & a half day ago, how come until now still dunhav any little sign of brownish to my water? Izzit because i boiling the leaf too long time at the first place?

Need to boil it again by today, i think will just boil it around 1 or 2mins.
But just now i saw some article said that boiling it around 10 - 20mins, how come ?

today i change my water around 50% & took the leaf out oredi..
Is 50% of water changing is enough ? my tank just those very small pastic tank.. change around 3 days period.
I'm started another batch of leaf oredi, by boiling it 3 mins, then now is in my tank floating

Actually i was thinkin this, maybe the leaf that i found was not ketapang leaf, its just some of the leaf which was similar to it...or maybe the leaf was not old enough to use, this there anything like this to happen ? Dun want to waste money buy the magical leaf product.

aiya...like that ah.
Now i took all those old leaf place in the balcony let's the sun shine on it until it get crunchy, today need to go hunt for leaf again

u guys are so great !
Do we really need to pretty expensive male to breed a pretty betta ?
