i also have female short tail.so decide to breed them.after doing research from the net.i success in breeding them.i can see the the small fry swimming all over the tank.but i cant feed them because cant find food that match for them.so sad to see the dead fry .after that i givup in breeding betta.

now the only betta that i have is male short tail..

Arent you implying that a bigger tank is better?You failed your english or what?
Since when did i mentioned that SALT is used as a water conditioner?Dude,dont assume.

so what this line means? u use salt for keeping or not? if not but use only when fishes need treatment y say i am wrong?
you read my 1st line but not the following, 'its really up to u. but personally i use a 10 gallon tank'.

is it my or your english fail? yeayea whatever. i given a few links to those who need help. i find them useful and agreed by many. as for u, think what u like, u starting to bore me out.

uh, please dont fight, im here to find solution, right now i just let my both fish side by side. the blue one keep open its flare, but the red one still stay calm. it just look the blue one. please help me..

no ppl are figthing lah... just some discusiion become too seriuos liao... figthing need to face to face one... we are not fighting fish.. we are human, so.. we are not born to fight.. just sometime out of control..haha
anyway, we all know that posting info at here is kind of sharing info... shairng is caring... So, i hope no one get hurt in this pure hobbist thread... kinci and angle calm down..
it is just pure salt issue.. dun make it big.. i hope both of u can continue sharing info here, as i know u guys are really care about betta and vr experienced in this field~~

CT fin is vr easy to curl when the water parameter went wrong.. so, it is not easy to maintain a good CT... i m not a fan for CT, and dun really know much oso.. but, if i will go into CT.. i will find KCT and halfsun~~

bro spirit of demon, where to get small glass tank? is it customize or ready mate? and how much?

can see mine starts curling d

is it ur guppy more big than ur betta the_catacombs? = =

@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.

haha... i have more into wild now...
already have MAC... and pugnax...

now, booked a pair of betta channoides and oso a pair of albirmaginata...

yewlin, got betta rubra already... so, if his rubra spawn.. i will chop a pair too.hahaha...

after rubra, may b go for taeniata or ocellata..

now, i stop using glass tank.. i used SU container... which is a plastic container... price is around rm1.60 each...
i used platic container because... it is light weight and it wont break so easier.. and most important, it wont cut u( my hand have a little bit injured when i do water change for my fish, due to the sharp edge of glass tank..)

nola... a little bit smaller den my betta... occasionally can see him chasing after those guppies... so far havent seen any fights yet...
at first i tried introducing my betta in my main tank... end up my tetras kept nipping its tail... lolz... fast fast i scoop him out from harm...

ooo... ok... i'll do more frequent water changes... thanks...

@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.

i read other forum saying if the fins curled up, cut it away and let it grow again... i dunno how true is dat...

i m not quiting show betta.. still got continue.. but, spend some of my time on wild betta now.. cuz they really looks fun... i m now letting go most of my HMs at promotion price... because i need to transfer the cash to buy the expensive wildbetta..

tomoro going to ship 2 pairs, a pair to sabah, a pair to johor~~ both pair in conditioning now..haha

oh, how about the size? who do u get it? yesterday i went to acrylic shop, he quote me some ridiculous price. or is it basic, i don't know. can i join your next batch of purchase later?

betta9, where are you from?

Old town pj sell small glass tank to between rm8-rm15 per tank.

the rm15 is 1.5ft, rite?
that day i went, they said finish d.. only 2ft one left over...

betta9,
u can go to jalan pasar get those container.. not need to bulk with me.. same price they offer.. even u get a big bag..
and acrylic sure expensive, so... i dun think is ridiculuos.. i have try to ask around those acrylic shop.. they dun really wish to do water proof acrylic tank.. u shud feel u are lucky that they entertain u..
