Of course.But then if you feed it permanently then its diet will not be balanced.Moreover,mosquito larvae isnt disease free.

Normally many betta sellers will have warranty for their fishes and if its DOA,then just snap a pic and send it to the seller and he'll refund another one.
@Andy0625:Rearing bettas are a lot easier and hassle free compared to other tropical fishes.Unless you are/want to be a professional breeder or seller then you should visit those forums and get as much info as you can bout bettas.Else,add water,some anti chlorine,pinch of salt,mix it and you're good to go. |

QUOTE(fylon @ Feb 7 2009, 11:47 PM) Btw, regarding to the water.. Is that really salt needed to be add in? I plan to pick up some ketapang leaf nearby by house as my fish spa. Salt is not necessary but is best added to avoid white spot.Ketapang is good but will color your water once you put it in.QUOTE(Andy0625 @ Feb 8 2009, 12:10 AM) Thanks for the prompt reply , I guess I should hunt for a nice halfmoon. If you are using anti chlorine then you need not leave the water overnight.- Just read that halfmoon need more care than other bettas , guess I'm off to get Crowntail instead , but they looks like all the fins like tear apart. I should put water and anti clorine into the Kit first and left it for overnight right ? QUOTE(Andy0625 @ Feb 8 2009, 12:34 AM) As I mentioned before , I saw one Blue HM on the shelf and on the next day , around 5 to 8 bettas just died like that. Thats actually your call because it all depends on how you are going to keep your bettas,ie;in barracks or jars.I guess I should get from breeders instead. Anyway , is HM really needs change the water once every 3 days ? So,if you are keeping them in jars or your marina kit,it wont be necessary to change it every 3 days.Once a week or when the water's dirty will do. |

QUOTE(Andy0625 @ Feb 8 2009, 10:01 AM) You should be mistaken the marina kit that I bought. I know.Is it the one with some design at the background?Nevertheless changing water frequently isnt necessary unless you notice the water in the tank's dirty.It's not normal huge marina kit and it's a small Marina Theme kit instead. Read that they say the larger the container , the longer I need to change the water. Fyi , the Theme Marina kit is only 2L , I guess it should be okay even once a week right ? Waiting for the betta seller in Lyn , going to get from him. |

Methylene blue can be obtained from fish shops easily.You dont need to use expensive brands as the Rm1.50 Ich medicine will work.

Anti bacterial salt?
I never heard of this before.The amount of salt you put depends on the size of the betta jar. |

QUOTE(Kinci @ Mar 30 2009, 02:55 AM) ph 6.2~7 should be fine for fishes. less than 6 means ur water more acidic, more than 7 means alkaline. and why put salt? your fish is sick? never heard of that salt too. if its healthy just aged water/chloramine will do fine. if its the suitable size of your tank u're asking about, i'll say the larger the better. most people like to keep betta's in a dang small jar. which is bad for the fish health/liking. nobody likes being cramped in such a small space right? even thought it's a fish, well, you will want ur pet to be happy right. its really up to u. but personally i use a 10 gallon tank. its planted and filtered. QUOTE(inv @ Mar 30 2009, 10:21 AM) actually, you should avoid using salt at all cost. Only use salt to quarantine and treat sick fish. if you only have 1-2 betta, a 10 gallon tank is fine.. but when you have 100s like felix, 10gallon per fish is gonna take up a lot of space! haha... Both of you are wrong when you mention not using salt for betta keeping.Its either you're not really experienced or dont know much bout betta keeping so please,don give wrong advice.if you intend to keep betta and breed betta, you need a minimum of 1gallon jar/tank. water change is to be done at least once every week, better if twice a week. Many experienced betta keepers/breeders uses some salt and have slighly acidic water when keeping their bettas.The tannic acid in ketapang leaves will make the water more acidic and its been said to calm the fish down and bettas love it.Even Atison Betta Spa has indian almond leaf extract(ketapang) where its used to add to the water in betta.And,a bigger tank doenst necessarily mean its better. |
