Wild Betta imbellis

[griffinkid]

Thanks Johannes! Now i'm raising the frys... Seems like the hard part!

[griffinkid]

Just some updates...
The frys are still doing fine, ive been feeding first bites by hikari...
Now, something amazing happened... i went to pay their parents a visit and i realised they spawned again! Under the leaf blade of the Java Fern!!!!!! Oh gosh... they are really active! So i'm just going to leave the frys with the parents since online sources stated that the frys are safe with parents. i also want to take this chance to conduct the experiment to see if the parents raise the frys better! haha So i'm going to dose in some liquid fry later into the parents tank to kick start the infusoria growth.

this is gonna be a busy time for me!

Griffin, get some microworm, Moina and green water. Very useful for these fry. You can skip BBS if you have Moina.

Yes Moina or "Ang Boon" will definitely boost their growth...

They spawn pretty regularly usually 1-2 weeks after I collect the fries from the tank. Raising isn't that difficult. It's exactly like raising show bettas. As mention by the two moderator you can feed boon till they are big enough to eat tubifex or brine shrimp if your scared of the disease the tubifex might carry.

I would recommend baby brine shrimp as the first fry food as they are somewhat smaller in size compared to daphnias.Feed baby brine shrimps till a bigger size then start feeding them daphnia and tubifex worms to boost size at a fast speed and to provide them with some roughage.Also , please note that you shouldn't spam too much daphnia till there are leftovers , as living daphnia deplete oxygen in the tanks at a first speed.

Two weeks ago, I was lucky enough to chance upon a tank of wild betta selling at C328. The uncle was unable to tell me what species it was but I thought that their colors were awesome despite having so many of them cramping in a small tank near the CRS tanks. I suppose they are Wild Betta Splendens after doing some readings over the internet. So I tried my best to identify a pair, and I think I've got it! When I reached home just now, I saw a huge bubblenest suspended on the surface of the pet container. I was in awe! This is the first time I've seen a bubblenest! And both my betta were colored up. So i took this chance to take some photos to share with you guys, and hopefully the knowledgeable ones can help me identify exactly what kind of wild betta this is! Hopefully they'll breed soon but it seems that the female is not looking very interested although the male is continuously flaring!

Enjoy the pictures
