    Hi Wilson,

    Per your request, here are the photos of one of the pair of Betta channoides which I bought from C328 recently.





    Sorry for the quality of the photo.

    The pictures I posted aren't that clear. Will try to post some more since I got a new DC from Sitex last weekend.

    I got a pair of Betta Albimarginata from C328 last night. Look abit similar to Channoides. Will post picture of this betta too.

    regards

    Cool new acquistion. At the moment I can't seem to differentiate Betta albimarginata from channoides. Like initially people can't differentiate Betta patoti from ideii.

    Hi..

    In Fact, It is quite affordable as compared to the rest of the betta like Macro, Rubra etc.. They look small and as you can seen from Bro Eugene's picture.. They do have great colors too..

    Haha.. Very tempting to buy a pair soon..

    Regards

    Hi,

    I suspect my Channoides is mouthbrooding. How to confirm? Should I remove him or remove others Channoides from the tank? Help needed.

    Hi Wilson,

    Thank for the information. Mine is not very obvious although I do notice it munching something in his mouth. He only go near the bloodworm but not eating them. Should I remove the other 3 Channoides (2 female and 1 male) from the tank? How long will the mouthbrooding take? Any idea?


    regards

    That's good. He's got discipline man. But read that it's advisable not to feed them 'cause the male will swallow the eggs in order to consume food. If you were to read the link I've provided, it states that after 11 days or so, the male will release some of the fries. And the breeder would also seperate the female from the male.

    Yong,
    I'm studying your channoides & albi pics, very difficult to tell apart. Bred channoides before, if I don't remember wrongly, a good male can hold up to 20 fry or more for up to 18 days. With least disturbance, remove other non- brooding fish for best result. Feeding or changing of water not required. The brooding male will not be active until fry release, or.. swallowed.
    Here's my past post.

    Thanks for sharing your experience. May do a thorough search this weekend to see how many fries are there. I noticed the mouthbrooding immediately after my long holiday. Could have been mouthbrooding during my holiday.

    Price varies. At Y618 they're going for $40 and up. Most of us are asking about $30 a pair for our F1s, myself included.

    As for how many fries they can hold, it varies too. One of my males -- and old guy -- held only about 12. But the fries were all a lot larger than the fries from other males that held over 20.

    There are cases where prolific ones are capable of holding 50 fry or more but that would subject to individuals. I think I'm very lucky, because my first attempt at B.channoides gave me a pleasant surprise though. I think these are easy mouthbrooders and more prolific than guppies, and very beautiful.

    Most importantly, it eased my itch of getting B.albimarginata.
