    Bought a couple of pairs labelled as Betta dimidiata but I guessed its Betta kapuas.

    Hi Wilson,

    Are you focusing on Wild Betta? Quite a number of acquisition recently. Where did you get this latest collection from?

    BTW, how many type of wild betta do you have now? Care to share.


    regards
    My greatest interest in fish hobby is to breed them.

    Hello Dragon,

    Yup trying my hands on wild bettas now. Something for a change and taking a break from Apistogramma. My small collection at moment includes B. macrostoma, B. rubra and B.kapuas.

    Got kapuas from C328 quite sometime ago. Actually ordered B. dimidiata but turns out not to be. Any idea where I can get dimidiata? Or anyone want to exchange? Thanks.

    Wow Wilson you have been very active in the acquisition of wild bettas recently, really envy the space you have to keep them all.

    I created the space. Haha. Each pair in a 2ft tank. I still have a pair of dwarf cichilds but not apisto. It's Dicrossus maculatus. So not much only 4 2ft tanks.

    My female jumped to a height of around 20cm. My tank was partitioned into halves. Initially both pairs are together in one half. But one of the females seems to have a liking to the other half. So she decided to shift. She will align herself almost vertically, moving to and fro from the water surface as though mimicking the movement of a high jump athlete. And when she's ready, she jumped over the partition with a measured height of about 20cm from water surface. Quite a feat. Before that I was wondering how could the female possibly squeeze through the slim gap between the partition and tank wall. Even though I knew that they were jumpers, never did I expect to see them jumped that high. So I transfer her back to be with rest of the gang. And once again she did it again. Up up and away. Haha, I was thinking this female betta could be trained to do stunts.

    Knowing that the male more often or not swallows the eggs on more than 3 spawns, there was this opportunity when the male was mouthbrooding for more than 10 days. And so I've decided to remove the fries and raise it by myself. Hopefully everything goes well.

    Is that you forcing the fries out of the male?
    Sorry I don't know the correct term to use....

    Are the fries from 3 spawns or from the most recent spawn?

    Haha I'm not sure of the terminology too. But yeah I gently applied pressure on his jaws, dipped his head in water and he obediently opens up his mouth and releases the fries.

    From one spawn.
