@ryant3

change 50% water everyday if possible or change 100% (conditioned) water every 2-3 days. You must use tap water conditioned with salt + anti-chlorine (do not overdose/underdose)

hmm.gif i do remember come by bettas bred from HM line but a little short of reaching 180 degree, still called HM.

and i don't recall those who are almost 180 degree being called delta tail cos AFAIK delta tails don't open even close to 180 degree.

so i did a little check and here's what i found....

smile.gif just to share.

anyway, I'm tired of keeping crowns and HM - miss my water change and that's it, curls come in.

so nowadays if ever i go betta again, I'll go HMPK or PK.

but yes, it was my mistake on SOD's betta - Delta Tail it is.......

no problem! icon_rolleyes.gif

and yea maintaining long finned ones take a lot of effort.. that's what im going thru now with 4 my HMs, 3 of which i got from yewlin biggrin.gif

PKs are not as demanding in maintenance-wise ya?
