No filter or air pump at all?
This is something new to me. But anyway here's my rubra biotope tank. Driftwood, rocks, some crypts and ketapang leaves. I kinda like this setup cause it's very little maintenance.

My greatest interest in fish hobby is to breed them.
The black rectangular on the top left is an overhang filter.

But...but...how to enjoy looking at these beautiful bettas? Water so dark.

I see. But I keep my wild bettas in clear waters too! Boils down to personal preference i suppose and whether if you are breeding them or not
If the tank is big, fish is small, so many leave litter and poor visibility, i'll be worried everytime i do not see my $3xx fish.

I also prefer clear water with peat to reduce the pH because it's harder to monitor the water parameter. Most plants don't grow well in ketapang water. If plants die, water condition won't be stable.
Anyone add ADA Rio Base to their wild betta tanks? I always add that.

ADA Rio Base! Interesting. Care to share the benefits of using it?

Nice setup. Will adding a big round leave Anubias to the center of the wood make it more better?
Best Regards, TS

erm... Anubias not part of its biotope isn't it?
CNY is coming. Your relatives will definitely ask why you keep a tank of brown water with no fish inside and full of dead leaves.
ck
Haaa... Let me guess what they would say...
"Aiyoh Wilson, why got "longkang" water here? "Qi bang" (rear mozzies) ah?"

Thanks TS. I'm hoping the crypts will slowly spread. There are actually more crypts at the background but view obstructed.
This tank is in my bedroom so not open to public. I've another tank with much more greenery in the living room.

The setup looks nice and simple. What are those floating plants with long roots that you are using.
Those are duckweeds. Their roots grow long and curl.

The papa doesn't eat his young? How many fries are there? Congratulation.

I'm not so sure. But he's with them for more than a week after releasing them. Last count was around 15.
