Haa! Thanks bro! But the fish only roughly 3 months old.. Its that too fast for breeding? And its size quite small as well. Oh yea, about the pellet. I had just placed my order on Bobby's stock house. Hopefully can get it 2mrw or any sooner i can.

Yea. That I'm thinking too. The is around 2.7month old according to the seller which he breed his own. Btw, a bit regret of getting HM where HMPK seems abit more nicer. Haha!

@Shinnen
Nice half moon PK u have there man.. Beautiful fish!

@the_catacombs
Bro, ur fish is been infected by disease already. Probably is Fungus infection eh? Some sort of white white thing like wool that wrapping the body of the fish right?

Btw, ya fish very tough already man.. It jumped out from the tank for quite sometime and still alive.

@the_catacombs
Out from water for around an hour time? That is tough man! I don't think there were any other fish can survive that long. See! Betta is tough!

Finally got myself some java moss for my fish after weeks on hunting. Been to a local Aquatic plant shop yesterday, saw the shop owner keep 3 wild macs in a 3 feet tank with aqua plants as deco. Very nice color!

Anyways, just wander can few wild betta been together in a tank? Cause i saw the LFS do that and the all the 3 betta live peacefully. Dont see the fish is biting each other.

@spirit

Nice setup there bro.. Whats ur water temp and water PH? Yeap. That what i've found about wild betta. That are seem to be calmer then show betta. Anyways, water pump is a must for keeping wild betta?

@MX510
Try give spirit a PM, as i know he is breeding some nice betta.

@Spirit
Just started my mac journey man.. Haha! Ya mac were from BSM Haji also? I pick up my from his house in previous week.

@spirit
I start with juv la.. Cant afford for the lost if i start with the adult. Sex still unsure as the juv only 2 months old. Importing a 2 x 1 feet tank for my two juv soon. Yea.. Usually those adult with no brooding experience will swallow the eggs. But it does has alot of reason which cause the male swallow the egg like being stressed.

Your the spirit from BSM right? U can see my mac journey at BSM for the pic.

@xUeki
U can get the starter kit from betta4u.com bro.

Yea. Just like the fish got experience and thing goes easy for them. Eh bro, i just got my 2feet tank and luckily its heavy rain today. Gonna move my fish into the tank tonight. Just wander are sponge filter along enough? Cause im lazy to 3-4day a WC. So going to invest a filter.

@Spirit
How many mac fries are u having at the moment now? Oh yea.. Am using 2feet tank also. Haha.. 2*1*1.. Around 55little water. But for 2 fries, i think the tank way too HUGE.

@the_catacombs
Aint sure for show betta, but for wild type. Yes, water parameter plays a big role. Slightly something went wrong with the water, the fish will tell u with showing abnormal symptom.

@spirit
Woah.. Big mac colony man.. But from ur pic, u do have adult mac right? Btw, can all ur fries live peacefully? Mine i dont think they can.

My fries seems to have some strange move. I got 2 fries at the moment, 1 big and 1 small. From what i observed during feeding time, the bigger one always chase away the smaller one by open its big mouth and flaring at it. And almost took all the food that i put it. The pity small fries only eat once after the big 1 got full and swim away.

Guppy might gone in the next day or u wil see them float on the water surface. Anyways, it is always not advisable to keep betta with other fish. But if ur keeping wild type like Macrostoma, u may can keep few of them in a tank.

Aikz.. Vice versa. Ya betta been bully? Are ur rasboras & tetra bigger size then ur betta?

@Angel86
Nice better u have there bro. The no.3 black and white betta looks like koi.

Woah.. That is a gud news. Seems ya betta quite calm and not aggressive type. Ain't like mine, my wild mac fries is starting to fight with each other already. The big one is nipping the small guy tail.. Even in a 2 feet tank. Both fries are only around 1.5inch long.

@the_catacombs
U never close ya tank? Hahah.. Used to heard ya betta jump out from the tank eh?

@betta9
Water pH doesnt make big fluctuation for show betta as they are fine with water with pH 6.5 - 7. But if ur keeping those wild betta, then u need to keep an eyes for the water parameter.

@inv
Personally i do suggest add a little big of salt (not the cooking salt) for betta is good for them. As it helps in prevent the fish got velvet and fungus. But only for show betta, if wild betta make sure there is 0 salt added unless they are sick.

@the_catacombs
Hahah.. CT is not easy to keep honestly. So as HM.. If u wanna go for easy keeping and good looking type, PK or HMPK will be your choice. Else u need to keep an eyes for water parameter. Like 2-3days WC once.

@Spirit
Hows ur wild? Doing great? I've just get another 4 juv from haji yesterday. around 3.5cm each.. Now wanna get more plants and hidding place for the juv.

@spirit
Ur quitting show betta now? Haha.. Get into wildly? Im focusing on Mac now.

@the_catacombs
Ur welcome bro.. Experienced this before with 1 of my HM. Hhaha! And once the fin got curl.. There is no way to cure it.
