betta newbie

[Joseph*]

Hi Guys!

I'm new to keeping betta. went to c328 and saw some bettas.

I'm not sure how to see the 'grade' of bettas but this one I've got is in the $5/- category but I find it gorgeous.

Some that I see which ain't so pretty are in the $10-$13 category. Is it because they are simply harder to breed?

Anyway here is some pictures that I took with my handphone camera.

My tank has got no filter. I just try to change water as frequently as I can.

I also put in some Lamp Lights. So far some lamplights jumped out of the water, maybe got scared by betta. But after a few days, no more jumping.













Thanks and all comments welcome cos I also want to know if i'm doing anything wrong. Hope you guys like my tank and betta.

Hmmm beauty lies in the eye of the beholder i guess. "Grading" includes stuff like finnage also... Anyway i think you meant lamp eyes not lamp lights

Haha, ya you're right. Lamp eyes instead of Lamp lights.

ya i'm newbie in betta so i only choose what I feel is pretty. I think definitely betta pros will not find my betta is nice, but still i'm keeping it as a pet so I think it doesn't matter just that grading for bettas is really a mystery to me. Totally dunno how to see finnage and masking from what I found in forum discussions.

A Bigger tank? I think my tank size is still considered alright, I will remember to change water frequently, thank for the advise nonetheless.

and no, I don't think I'll venture into breeding them, from what I read, I'll need more tanks to house female after laying eggs and all that, so I think I don't want the hassle. I'll just keep 1 enough.

I think if I start getting 2, there will be 3 then 4 and then more and more bettas until my house no more space for tanks.
