    New Rubra pairs from someone.
    Did not quarantine the pairs straight to the tank.
    These are captive bred not wild caught. Will snap the photos in their tank later.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1383538216.630396.jpg

    How many pairs have you got? I have only one young pair from Hermanus.

    Good. See if we can breed them first. If possible, we can exchange bloodlines in the future. I just hope my current male is a good father.

    Hey Fendi and Shi Xuan, if you want to exchange bloodlines I don't mind joining in too .

    Shi Xuan: Its the same Rubra pair we were discussing previously?

    Re: Captive bred wild ones

    Yes it is the rubra pair and yea i've heard that a lot of species are available there now. Might probably get another pair of rubra, see how it goes. Hope your simplex pair breeds for you too haha, the blue banding .

    I was reading about betta sp. apiapi, apparently its a coccina complex betta. Found these two links.

    Not the same fish. This young pair came from Hermanus. The pair is about the size of my brownorum. I have a trio now, but the female from the earlier pair is not doing well so I have moved her to a 60L tank.

    Mind sharing where you got your pair from?

    Yes, I have heard about it even before Hermanus told me last Saturday. Not much difference from the usual red betta we see. Here's a link for your reference I extracted from a blog;

    http://redwinebettas.weebly.com/uplo...91393_orig.jpg => (Male)
    http://redwinebettas.weebly.com/uplo...05359_orig.jpg => (Female)

    I also received a new pair of uberis and two young males from Sam in Malaysia. Unfortunately, one jumped out while I was transferring them to my tanks, so now I'm left with a young male with a blotch on his body. His fish came from Joty Atmadjaja via Jitticus, which have red colored pectorals. Very unusual for wild fish indeed. I'm going to breed that young male with the F2 fry when they come of age. Hope everything is alright.

    Yeap, they are. All the betta you see at the farm came from Hermanus. He told me that he will have Betta miniopinna and sp. Apiapi in the coming month or so.

    Sungei Tengah 8. I think the farm is going to be supplied with wilds from Hermanus in the long term.
