    First Armageddon, Vanda and Dark Armageddon betta fish Fire burns first Armageddon,Vanda and Dark Armageddon betta fish If talking about Siamese fighting fish with patterns like fire or meteor, it is inevitable to talk about colored Armageddon betta fish or Vanda. Which is a unique betta fish and is the only type of fighting fish that grows more beautiful Because the red spots along the fins will become more prominent and clear as he gets older. Breeder Success the Siamese fighting fish come up fire betta fish Back in 1999, the first breeding group, Somkiat Intamu from Aquastar71, developed Betta fish this color to be the first to be inspired by the movie Armageddon. He has tried many methods and has tried breeding many times. But it is not successful, and in this article we will talk about the beginning of success in bringing fire fighting fish. Origin of the first Armageddon fighting fish Armageddon or Vanda in the past started with the development of the color Choco Orange, after which it was cultivated with yellow or orange by creating blood for these two colors. The first successful colors were Dark Armageddon, but they were not successful due to the unwholesome bloodline. Once the Dark Armageddon culturers are finished, they will need to Inbreed this color by 3 generation to create a pure blood lineage. Which will take 1-2 years to get a pure blood lineage At this point, it is not difficult to understand how Armageddon or Vanda came. The fish breeder will start by bringing the breeder Dark Armageddon breed with the female color or pure yellow color. Will produce a fish with Armageddon or Vanda color, but that is still not quite successful. Because of the success of this color The fish will have a lot of black soot. That’s because the bloodline of this species of fish is not pure. Breeders must be Inbreed by choosing this color with few soot. To cultivate the least body to be successful, it is necessary to have more than 3-4 Generation to be a breed that has pure blood without soot in the body. Armageddon meteor betta fish Armageddon betta fish is currently considered to be a color that is not very available in the market due to the breeders who breed less. And not as popular as in the past, but still a color that is not difficult to raise as well But Dark Armageddon is the color that is hard to find because the breed is not popular. That’s because Armageddon or Vanda and Dark Armageddon are older fish that have red spots on the fins that are pronounced and beautiful, while Dark Armageddon is already dark. It is necessary to wait longer than Armageddon in general to be fully beautiful and to the market. Most age ranges from 6-8 months or 1 year In which there is a very high chance that the fish will lose their fins or become sick before reaching the owner Recommend Armageddon is one color betta fish when fish more older will more beautiful. Because red spot on fin will more strong look like firer. What do you think with this color? Please comment bellow!! Armageddon betta fish Summary Betta splendens (Fighting Fish) with special color codes/patterns are called Armageddon betta fish (sometimes called “Vanda”) and Dark Armageddon betta fish — which are characterized by “red spots along the fins” that become more pronounced and beautiful as the fish matures. The first breeding group (by a person named Somkiat) began developing this color fish in 1999, starting with trying to use “Choco Orange” and yellow/orange fish, and gradually developing the bloodline until they had the first successful “Dark Armageddon”. However, because the bloodline was not pure, it had an undesirable “soot” on the fish’s body. To obtain a fish with a beautiful “smoky” Armageddon/Vanda color, breeding must be done “in-breed” (cross-breeding) at least 3-4 generations to obtain a pure bloodline and good color. The Armageddon/Vanda line is relatively easy to find — but the Dark Armageddon is particularly difficult to find, as it takes longer than “normal” fish to achieve full color (usually around 6–8 months, or up to a year), and there’s a chance the fish will lose fins or become sick before reaching full maturity. But when fully grown, Armageddon bettas are very beautiful — the red spots on their fins are prominent, resembling “fire” (fire / meteor) — which is why they are called “fire betta fish / meteor betta fish” and are a popular fish for many collectors. FAQ: Armageddon, Vanda and Dark Armageddon Betta Fish 1. What is Armageddon Betta Fish? It is a fighting fish with a distinctive feature of “red spots on the fins” that look like flames when fully grown. It is considered a rare species and is popular with collectors. 2. What is the name of Vanda Betta? Vanda is also a name used for Armageddon, and some breeders use this term instead of Armageddon. 3. How is Dark Armageddon different from regular Armageddon? Dark Armageddon has a darker color tone and the red spots on its fins are particularly prominent, giving it a more “aggressive” and rarer appearance. 4. When did this fish species begin to develop? Development began in 1999 by a group of breeders who wanted to create fish with a distinctive red spot. 5. What is the base color of the fish used to evolve Armageddon? It starts with Choco Orange and the yellow/orange group before gradually improving to create the Armageddon special shade. 6. Why is the Dark Armageddon line so rare? Because it takes a long time to develop a beautiful color and the breeding must be carefully selected until the bloodline is stable, which is difficult to do. 7. How does the red color on the fins occur? It is the result of many generations of bloodline development that has resulted in the natural red spots on the fins, not dyeing. 8. Why do some fish have “soot” or black spots on their bodies? Because the bloodline is not pure, it must be continuously cultivated for 3-4 generations to reduce the black soot. 9. How long does it take for fish to reach full color? Average 6–8 months, or some may take up to 1 year. The color will be most obvious when fully grown. 10. Is Armageddon considered an expensive fish? They are usually inexpensive because they are readily available, although they take longer to develop to achieve stable colors. 11. What is the most outstanding feature of this betta fish? “The red spots on the fins that look like fire or meteorites” are a unique characteristic that is difficult for other lines to imitate. 12. What do breeders usually do to keep the color of their betta fish stable? It is popular to do continuous in-breeding over several generations to obtain stable color characteristics and reduce defects. 13. Is this type of betta fish difficult to raise? Raising them is not difficult, but they require careful care because the slow coloration can cause some to become sick or have bruised fins before they reach adulthood. 14. Why do some people call this fish Fire Betta or Meteor Betta? Because when they are large, the red spots on their fins look like flames or falling star fragments, hence their nickname. 15. If you want to breed Armageddon, what should you be careful about? Fish must be selected without soot, with a stable base color, and parents that have been selected through several generations of bloodline selection should be selected for the most beautiful results.

    History of samurai betta fish From the past until today The dragon fighting fish has been developed continuously. As a result of the traditional Red Dragon, many colors have been developed. Whether it is an Orange Dragon Yellow Dragon, Black Dragon, Gold Dragon, Fancy Dragon, has been developed into many forms. Whether it’s Half Moon, Full Moon, Crowntail and Giant betta fish History of samurai betta fish Guidelines for the development of siamese fighting fish dragon from the past to the present In addition to improving the form well In terms of color, it will focus on developing the scales to have a shiny silver color. Coating both body and head There is a clear contrast between the fin and the body color (Bi-Color) and try to remove the unwanted color or lace from the fin surface as much as possible. It looks like the current development of dragon betta fish. It will focus on making the “original” existing to meet market standards. Or Betta competition standard Along with developing the species to be still Make each breeding a lot of good fish. That development would have stopped in place. If in the past two years no betta had been born to create a buzz in the industry “Samurai fighting fish” is the fish we are going to talk about here. Masterpieces of betta come this moment Many masterpieces in the world It arose because of “accidental”. Beautiful betta fish are also the same. Many of the colors of fish that are popular today are caused by coincidence. Or what the term in the betta fish industry is called “mutation” or “loose” before being applied by the breeder to add, add, develop according to your imagination. For more than 10 years, beautiful betta circles have been known for their bodies coated with white gold sparkling scales. Also known as “Dragon”, which was bred for the first time in the world in 2004 by Khun Te Piboonchai Chuan Chuen of Yaowaluck Farm, part named “Dragon. Nod “was first dubbed by Mr. Pichet Plaisanguang or Ton Interfish, and a year later he made his debut at Aquarama 2005, a key destination in the wake of the Pachad trend. Dragon in the industry in the international betta world. Samurai betta fish are considered to be betta fishes. Happened by chance Or mutations from the repeated breeding of the Black Dragon over many generations Until obtaining a distinctive fish that is There is an imperfect scale coating. Or the scales are not covered with both the head and body like a typical dragon fish However, this imperfect coating creates a perfect pattern, for example, there is a flake coating on the face. And open up other areas of the body Make it look like a mask Or there is a coating only on the upper part of the body along the entire length The lower part is open for example. Why Samurai betta fish? What does this name mean? Or has it come from? It is believed that it is a question that many people want to know. A samurai betta is a replica of a “samurai” warrior in graceful armor with lustrous scales. Which is unique and important as mentioned in the above The name was created by Mr. Ton Interfish, who led the first samurai fighting fish to be released to the public. The magic of betta fish in the dragon group Or varnished betta fish is a gene (Metallic Geno) that is hidden in the bloodline, with the behavior similar to the function of the marble gene or the spotted gene. But there will be color development in contrast to the normal marble. Naturally, the marble genes normally produce a clear or opaque color, but the dotted dragon genes have a different color. Will give out the color in a blemish tone Or burning sugar instead And can pass these characteristics to the child version. Which farm is first create Black Samurai shot fin? The first samurai fighting fish to be discovered and recorded was “Black Samurai” from Taphong Betta Farm in Rayong province of Khun Wat Wiwatthipnak Professionals in betta fish breeding and development with over 15 years of experience and was one of the first aligners to play a role in the development of the beautiful betta fish industry in Rayong Province. The samurai betta fish mutations say, “This loose betta is a Black Dragon crossed with a Super Black, a single-scale, unglazed fish. In order to increase the blackness of the fins, as I observed in the same litter, there were fish that were similar in color to Super Black and without glazed scales. Therefore, it is possible that the Super Black lineage may have reduced the coating of the scales. ” The first samurai fighting fish “Black Samurai” is a fish mutated from the Black Dragon. Happened at Tapong Betta Farm, Rayong Province Not long after, Khun X Suparerk, Young Mode of X-Cross Betta, Chachoengsao Province, launched a samurai betta fish from the farm’s Black Dragon line. This is the second Black Samurai fighting fish that was launched into the fighting fish industry. Around the same time, another line of samurai betta fish appeared at Bang Makin Khamroot, another leading betta breeder in the industry. It is a samurai betta fish in another color scheme known as “Red Samurai”. It is characterized by the body color which is red, contrasting with the shiny silver scales that obscure the face. Bang told you that “This fish is small, as far as I can see, it is a fish that has no silver scales like a normal red dragon. But it is a small fish with clear meat like Super Red. After that, the scales gradually develop until you see it. ” In conclusion All or all of the samurai fighting fish that exist today. The origin is from the same point, that is, “mutate” from the dragon betta fish. The most common is the Black Samurai, followed by the Red Samurai. Which the latter type is considered to be very small The same is true for the samurai from the Dragon in other colors. But it is gratifying that many breeders recognize the value of this fish in terms of being a ‘new colored’ fish that will generate significant value in the future. Therefore, a method has been developed to develop a pattern that is still like other colored fish. That has been done But I have to admit that it is difficult, otherwise the fish of this color will probably be seen in the market already There are not many as few as today, because in breeding dragon fish it is almost impossible for us to set the pattern according to our wishes. The pattern here means that the scales are coated at some point in the desired position. Because of the nature of the dragon fish as they get older The flake coating will develop with age. Therefore, trying to make a scale with a coating to a pattern This violates the nature and genetic characteristics of fish that are deeply embedded in the bloodline. As an example that is often seen in some fish that the smaller episode has. The pattern is a complete samurai, but as it gets older, the scales have evolved into more glaze. Or the term in the betta industry is called “walking scales”, causing the pattern to lose Development is difficult, however, it takes effort and time to answer how much work can be achieved. The picture is first line of Samurai half moon in the world breeding by Nice Betta Thailand You like Samurai betta fish? Please let me know why you like this color type? History of samurai betta fish Summary The Samurai Betta Fish, or Samurai Betta, is one of the most popular fancy betta fish in recent years. Its distinctive feature is its “partially silver-plated dragon scales,” giving it the appearance of samurai armor. This has become a rare and highly prized characteristic in both the Thai and international betta market. The Samurai Betta originated from the development of the Black Dragon Betta, a dragon betta with thick, highly shiny scales. Breeders in Thailand noticed a mutation in the scales, which were not completely covered, but only on the upper part, resembling a “samurai mask.” This led to the idea of ​​naming the “Samurai Betta”, coined by Ton Interfish, who officially coined the name. A significant turning point was the appearance of the first Black Samurai from Tapong Betta Farm in Rayong Province. This was created by crossing Black Dragon with Super Black, resulting in a fish with jet-black fins, contrasting with striking silver scales. The name “Samurai Betta” quickly spread and gained popularity. The Samurai Betta is distinctive because its scales are partially covered, not covered completely like normal dragon fish, but only on certain areas, such as the upper body or face. This gives the fish a rare appearance and unique pattern. This has made them highly sought after by collectors. Later, additional colors were developed, such as the Red Samurai Betta, which features a distinctive red body and silver scales, increasing the variety and popularity of the fancy Betta market. However, maintaining the “Samurai Mask” appearance remains challenging, as scales can change with age, known as “walking scales.” This often results in unpredictable patterns in fry. Due to their unique characteristics and the difficulty of breeding them to achieve the desired patterns, the Samurai Betta has become one of the most distinctive, highly prized, and sought-after Betta fish by fancy Betta collectors worldwide.

First betta fish avatar color Summary “First betta fish avatar color in the world” from Nice Betta Thailand refers to the Dark Blue / Blue-Black Star Avatar betta fish, which has shiny silver-green-black scales when exposed to low light. This species was developed by Somkiat Intamu from the inspiration of the image of stars in a nebula. The original breed was crossed between Peacock (green-black) and “Black Candy” (a Candy/Nemo fish that was bred to be darker), with subsequent generations selected for darker colors and shiny scales, resulting in the stable Avatar color. It takes only about 2 years of breeding to get strong and stable genetic traits. This fish is relatively easy to find for its short tail, but it is also a bit rare for its “Half Moon” tail version, which is highly valued in the 2020 market due to its relatively recent development and low production. The Avatar colorway has now evolved to Copper Avatar, a coppery gold color on a black body with a metallic sheen and distinctive “Avatar Galaxy” flakes.

    How To Breed Giant Betta Fish Giant betta fish are one part of betta type you may want to try your hand at breeding giant betta fish. In this article we will discuss how to breed giant betta fish. There are few key things to understand before breeding bettas. Setting up the right courtship and spawning environment, getting the right pair, and a lot of monitoring is involved as well as having the right environment for the giant betta fry, the female, and the male after spawning. It Begins: Getting Ready to Breed Giant Betta Fish Even if you already have a giant male and female betta pair that live together you will still need 3 tanks or at least 2 tanks with one of them being divided. The male and female will need to be separated into different tanks (preferably where they can’t see each other until the fry are moved into their own tank). Once the fry are swimming out of the bubble nest and eating on their own, they are ready to be on their own. It is easiest to leave the fry in the breeding tank and remove the male giant betta to his own tank. Even if your male and female were previously housed together it is still best to slowly introduce them and observe their relationship and behaviors for a few days. Falling in Love: Choosing a Breeding Pair of Giant Betta Fish Choose a male and a female siamese fighting fish that have the characteristics that you want in their offspring. Each fish should be between 4 and 12 months old for ideal breeding. Choose a pair that are close in age and size with the female being slightly smaller than the male. Find a reputable retailer or breeder. Avoid chain pet stores as they tend to only carry older betta fish that may already be older than the ideal breeding age. They are also often over or poorly bred so they can be sold cheaply. Since giant bettas are rare you may need to have your bettas shipped from a trusted betta fish store. Setting the Mood: Giant Betta Fish Breeding Tank Setup You will want to have at least a 10 gallon aquarium with a divider. The breeding tank should be placed in a quiet spot to offer your breeding pair and new parents some privacy. It is best not to use a filter when breeding betta fish especially those that build bubble nests. Offer at least one hideout per fish. This can be betta-safe plants or aquarium decor. Some male bubble nesters enjoy building their nest under something that floats like a leaf or floating decor. It gives their babies added security and reduces the anxiety of the giant betta dad. If you don’t already use a water heater for your betta fish, now is the time. Stable temperatures are important for inducing breeding and spawning in betta fish. Do not use substrate in a breeding aquarium. This is important because eggs are often dropped as they are transported to the bubble nest. Avoiding substrate helps your fish retrieve any dropped eggs with ease. Consummating the Relationship: How to Breed Giant Betta Fish If you prepared for breeding your giant betta fish, found your pair, and set up your tank, you are ready to roll. Be patient and closely observe your pair without disturbing them. You can’t force them to breed so be patient. Offer high quality food in small amounts a few times per day. This is a great time to use safe nutritious live or frozen foods like bloodworms, daphnia, or brine shrimp. Giant Betta Breeding Tips Consider what type of big betta fish you are breeding: Wild giant bettas (betta anabatoides) are mouth brooders which means the males carry the eggs and fry in their mouth until they are ready for release. Giant betta splendens are bubble nest builders. Determine the type of giant bettas you have to understand the spawning process of your pair. Since most pet giant bettas are selectively bred, they don’t tend to be the wild type so they are more likely to be bubble nest builders rather than mouth brooders. Knowing how to breed giant betta fish is only half of the challenge. You have to be patient, observant, and lucky enough to have a cooperative breeding pair of giant betta fish. Breeding giant betta fish Summary Although Giant Betta Fish are an interesting species, breeding them requires careful preparation of equipment — keep males and females in separate tanks (or with partitions) to avoid inappropriate interactions. Once the fish are comfortable with their equipment, slowly introduce them together, observing the pair’s behavior closely. When selecting a betta fish breeding pair, it’s best to choose between a male and female between 4 and 12 months of age, and of similar size (the female may be slightly smaller). This will ensure you get fry with good potential. It’s also recommended to source fish from a reputable breeder, as fish from large fish stores may be too old or have been bred multiple times. For a breeding tank, a tank of at least 10 gallons should be used in a quiet location with a partition or separate tank to provide shelter for each fish. It is not recommended to use an air filter as pairs will build their own bubble nests. Gravel or other substrate should not be used in the breeding tank to facilitate the fish’s egg collection and prevent them from falling onto the substrate. When it’s time to breed, be patient and avoid disturbing the fish too much. Feed them quality food, such as egg yolk or a few earthworms. Choose fresh or imported betta-friendly food, such as micro-rae or pre-worms, to stimulate the fish to breed. Finally, it’s important to observe and adapt to the type of giant betta you have. There are both “mouth-brooder” types, where the male holds the eggs in his mouth, and “bubble-nestor” types, where the male creates a bubble nest above the water surface. The most popular giant betta species are the bubble-nestor type. FAQ: Breeding Giant Betta Fish 1. What is a giant betta fish? Giant Betta Fish is a breed of Betta fish that has been developed from a normal Betta fish to be larger in size while still maintaining the behavior and temperament of a normal Betta fish. 2. What age should males and females be for breeding? The ideal age is around 4–12 months, as this is the time when the fish are strong and fully sexually mature. 3. How do you know when a male is ready to mate? Males are ready to start building bubble nests and display the behavior of flapping their fins to show off to females. 4. Why must males and females be separated before breeding? Because betta fish have an aggressive nature, if they are brought together too quickly, they may fight and get injured or die. 5. What is the appropriate size of aquarium for breeding Giant Betta? It should be at least 10 gallons (about 38 liters) in size to provide the fish with enough space and to reduce stress. 6. Is it necessary to use a water filter in the incubator? It is not necessary because the air bubbles from the filter will destroy the bubble nest that the male has created for laying eggs. 7. What kind of food should I give before breeding? It is recommended to feed fresh food that is high in protein, such as red worms, earthworms, or good quality imported food to stimulate the readiness of the reproductive system. 8. How do giant fighting fish lay eggs? Most are “bubble nesters,” meaning they build bubble nests above the water, but some species can be “mouth brooders,” trapping their eggs in their mouths. 9. What should you observe during breeding? You have to make sure that the male doesn’t attack the female too much and that the female is separated immediately after laying eggs to prevent them from biting each other. 10. After the fish lay eggs, what should you do next? Let the male care for the nest and eggs until they hatch, then separate them and start feeding the fry such as tiny red worms when they can swim.

    What is sky Hawk betta fish? What is sky hawk betta fish or Hawk betta fish? I believe there is a question in many of you’s minds. Why does the Nice Betta Thailand.CO.,LTD betta fish farm have some bettas named Sky Hawk on their website? Sky Hawk betta fish are considered to be a rare betta fish that is at a legendary level. When you successfully breed a betta fish, not every fry will have a Dorsal fin to become a Sky Hwak, which has a very small chance. Besides being a fighting fish with Dorsal Fin is stronger than other bettas. The Dorsal fin also had to be long and able to project forward, hence the name “Sky Hwak” The different betweet sky hawk betta and normal betta From the example picture you can see a big difference. To make it clear, we have taken sample pictures from a local store Petco in the USA to clearly compare with our farm. It can be seen that the Sky Hawk has a larger, forward dorsal fin. When betta fish swim in the water, they are more beautiful than normal betta fish where the dosal fin runs towards the back. However, there are still more and more people raising high quality fighting fish in the USA, and many people tend to especially favor the Sky Hawk because its fins are stronger than normal betta, making them much easier to care. How can we make a betta fish have Sky Hwak fins? This is a question that exists in the mind of the reader. I explain according to Nice Betta Thailand.CO.,LTD formula for developing siamese fighting fish to have strong dosal fins. That is, every time we because new species of betta fish appear. We often develop double tails of the same color together. Once we have achieved the color we want, in the next generation we will take the Double tail strain that was developed and cross breed it. In this generation it will be Half moon (HM) + Double tail half moon (DTHM). The fry in this generation will have a very high chance of having a strong, beautiful dorsal fin that won’t curling over. However, that not all of them will have fins. The Dorsal fin is a Sky Hwak betta fish but you can rest assured that the fish of this generation will not have the Dorsal fin curling or rolling like fish in the local shop. If you have Sky hwak betta fish you will hardly have to worry about the problem of the Dorsal fin curling and being weak anymore. In the end, there was nothing else to explain. But I want to write this sentence in the article: I am a betta fish breeder who gets to experiment, study and enjoy creating new creative colors for our customers because of you still supporting us for more than 17 years, I thank you very much. I promise to continue to develop and do it better, creating new things for you to see again and again. Until the day I leave this world Sky hawk betta fish Summary The “Sky Hawk betta fish” is a special species of the Betta splendens (or “great warrior”) genus that is characterized by its large, prominently extended dorsal fin, which is not easily found and is considered a rare species. The difference between the Sky Hawk and a regular beta is that the Sky Hawk’s dorsal fin is erect and clearly projected forward, while the regular beta’s dorsal fin runs towards the back of the fish. The method for developing the Sky Hawk trait is to use females of the “Half Moon + Double Tail Half Moon” type to increase the chance that the fry will have a strong dorsal fin that does not curl.

    How to Keep a Betta Fish Alive for 4 Years Let’s keep your betta fish alive for long and healthy. Betta fish are very sturdy and hardy fish. They make great pets for kids because they are not expensive or hard to take care of. Even though these are tough fish, it is still important to learn some simple steps on how how to taken care of them. How to Keep a Betta Fish Alive for long time Choose your betta fish carefully. Try supporting local businesses that take good care of their fish instead of big chain pet stores. Local pet store and online bettas usually have better genetics than the ones that come from the fish farms that supply pet store chains. Genes play a large role in betta health. Young bettas are brightly colored and have long, flowing tails; as they get older, their colors dull. Choose a younger, brighter, healthy-looking fish in order to keep it alive for longer. When purchasing a betta fish, be sure to examine its tail. If it looks like it has been ripped apart (it is harder to spot on crowntails, but their fins may be curled), that means it may be biting its tail or have fin rot. Both of these signal signs of stress and bad water quality. Purchase an appropriate tank Bettas originate from Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, and Cambodia, where they lived in large rice paddies. Consequently, they prefer tanks that are spacious and long, rather than tall and deep. For your betta to live the happiest, longest life, provide at least a five gallon aquarium with a filter and heater. Your betta fish can survive for some time without these, but they will not live the best life. Provide your betta with multiple foods choices Bettas can be picky eaters and you should have three or more different kinds of food on hand. This way, your fish can choose between the ones that it likes and dislikes. A good way to know what your betta likes and dislikes is give him/her a little piece. If they do not eat it or spit it out, it is possible that they do not like that kind of food. Do not put your betta in a small tank with other bettas Betta fish are called Siamese fighting fish for a reason. They are very territorial and will fight to the death. If you are considering keeping more than one betta in a tank, make sure it is at least 20 gallons (75.7 L) and extremely heavily planted. Do not under any circumstances keep a male betta with another male betta. Chances are, you do not have a heavily planted tank that provides at least sixty gallons per betta. You can keep females with females, as long as there are more than five together. They will establish a pecking order and if you do not have enough, the lowest or weakest ones will be bullied to death. With more fish, the bullying is distributed enough to keep them all safe. Your fish would much prefer to be alone, however. Perform weekly water changes. In smaller tanks, change out 25% of the water each week. With a tank over 10 gallons (37.9 L), you can wait two weeks, just make sure to test the water for toxins. Add a water conditioner to your fish tank. Water conditioner can be bought at your local pet supply store. It removes chlorine/chloramines and heavy metals from tap water, making it safe for your fish to live in. Check on your fish regularly and do health checks White spots, pine coning scales, and a rust-like texture are some indicators that your fish needs treatment immediately. Play with your fish. Train it to do tricks such as jump out of the water to take food, swim through a hoop or follow your finger. Bettas can recognize faces and they become very attached to their owners.

  • should-i-keep-my-betta-in-a-vase-facebooktwitterpinterestlinkedinwhatsappreddittumblrxsina-weiboshare-betta-in-a-vese-the-pivotal-question-is-if-its-safe-for-the-fish-what-is-my-stand-on-th

    Should I Keep My Betta in a Vase? FacebookTwitterPinterestLinkedInWhatsAppRedditTumblrXSina WeiboShare Betta in a vese The pivotal question is if it’s safe for the fish. What is my stand on the issue? I do not consider a flower vase a healthy environment for a Betta fish (aka: Siamese Fighting fish), or any other species of fish, for a number of reasons. Betta in a Vase Rice Paddy Argument The primary argument made for keeping a Betta fish in a vase is that pumps, filters, and other aquarium equipment, do not exist in nature. By putting the fish in what appears to be a natural environment the assertion is made that it is somehow inherently healthier than an aquarium. Unfortunately, that is an incorrect assumption. It is true that in nature the Betta fish lives in shallow bodies of waters, primarily rice paddies and swamps. However, those waters represent a complete ecological system that a small vase cannot replicate. Those seemingly small rice paddies are actually part of a much larger body of water that dilutes toxins. Scavengers and bacteria present in the water break down wastes and render them harmless to fish living there. No closed environment can truly replicate the conditions in these natural habitats. Betta Diet The water volume isn’t the only problem with a vase. In nature, the betta fish lives on a diet that consists predominantly of insects and insect larvae. In fact, Bettas are valued for their role in controlling mosquitoes in their native habitat. The Betta’s digestive tract is built to digest meat, rather than vegetable material. Its upturned mouth is designed to grab insects that have fallen into the water. A diet consisting of vegetable matter may keep a Betta alive for a while, but it is neither natural nor healthy. Over time, the Betta will slowly be starved of the proper nutrients and more easily fall victim to disease. Even if they do not fall prey to disease, the already short lifespan of the fish will very likely be shortened even further. Water Temperature The primary reason a Betta in a small bowl is often listless is due to low water temperature. Bettas are accustomed to tropical climates, being native to native to countries such as Thailand, where the climate is hot and moist year round. The ideal water temperature for the Betta is about 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Without a heater, the water in a vase will be too cool for comfort most of the time. Although the Betta can survive at lower temperatures, when the water is too chilly they become lethargic and may even refuse to eat. Although flower vases cannot be heated, with the advent of mini-heaters, small tanks and even bowls can now be heated. If space is limited, ditch the vase and at least get a small thank that accommodates a mini-heater. Betta Breathing Lastly, there is the issue of how the Betta breathes. Like other fish, the Betta takes in oxygen from the water. However, the Betta also has a special organ that allows it to breathe air directly from the surface of the water. This organ is what allows the Betta to live in water that has very little oxygen. Studies have shown that fish with this organ must regularly breathe some air at the surface, even if there is sufficient oxygen in the water itself. Unfortunately, for the Betta, if the Lily vase is not set up with an open space at the top of the water, the Betta may become deprived of the oxygen it needs to survive. The Peace Lily Vase-Siamese Fighting fish combination has persisted as a popular fad, but it is neither natural nor healthy for the fish. A dog or cat owner would not shut their pet in a small closet with minimal heat, food, and air. Should fish be treated any less humanely? Kepp betta in a vase Summary Betta fish should not be kept in a vase. This is because the vase does not provide a complete ecosystem. Water temperature fluctuates rapidly and lacks proper aeration, which can easily lead to a buildup of dirt and debris. This can lead to illness and a shortened lifespan. Instead, keep your betta in an aquarium with basic equipment and care for its needs.

    Do Betta Fish Like Light? Yes, Betta fish like light, and no, Betta fish don’t like light. Make sense? Ok, let me explain, Betta fish prefer a schedule where they have regular light and dark periods so that they can get into a normal sleeping pattern. Bettas like light so that they know when to wake up and prefer a darker environment to sleep. You may have an aquarium light on your tank and if so, it is probably best for you to turn this on when you wake up in the morning and turn it off just before bed time. This will give your Betta a regular sleeping pattern that matches yours. When you think about it, of course Betta fish do like light, they come from the tropics in Thailand where there is a lot of sunlight! If you don’t want your Siamese fighting fish to live in a stressful environment, then you should provide some sort of light source for your fish. Some lights can even come with a timer so that your light will automatically turn on and off at the scheduled times. Do Betta fish like Sun Light? Keeping your tank in direct sunlight is not a good idea. Depending on where you live, direct sunlight could also heat up the water – leading to your tank overheating and your betta getting ill (or almost cooking). Direct sunlight can also lead to excess algae growth which will mean your tank will have dirty water which will require cleaning more often. The main thing to remember is that your Betta will do better in a stable sort of environment. That means having a regular schedule of light and darkness for your fish. You want your new little friend to be happy and healthy and keeping him in this sort of home is what is best for him to live for several years to come. Find any useful tips? So will your friends share this page with your friends / followers and lets help Bettas around the world get better care! ? Any questions or comments just add them below! Thanks. Betta fish like light Summary Betta fish love light, but make sure there are also dark periods so they can sleep normally. If using aquarium lights, turn them on in the morning and turn them off before bed. Also, avoid direct sunlight, as this can raise the water temperature and cause algae to grow, which can bother your betta and make the water dirty.

  • why-betta-fish-not-eating-pellets-facebooktwitterpinterestlinkedinwhatsappreddittumblrxsina-weiboshare-betta-fish-not-eating-pellets-this-is-the-most-problem-for-betta-keepper-betta-need-to-eat-to-s

    Why betta fish not eating pellets? FacebookTwitterPinterestLinkedInWhatsAppRedditTumblrXSina WeiboShare Betta fish not eating pellets this is the most problem for betta keepper. Betta need to eat to stay happy and healthy. But why betta fish not eating pellets. Many people like feed Betta fish pellets as a primary source of food. However, there seem to be a select number of Betta fish that don’t like eating pellets. Common Reasons Why Your Betta Fish Is Not Eating Pellets There are a few different reasons why you Betta fish is not eating the pellets which you are trying to feed it. Let’s go over the most common causes. You Spoiled It Now, it may sound kind of odd, but you can definitely spoil a Betta fish. It may not have been you to spoil the fish, but the breeder or pet store. Many breeders and pet stores will feed young bettas some pretty high quality foods such as frozen, freeze dried, or even live foods like daphnia and brine worms. The Betta fish quickly get accustomed to this luxurious diet and they are not quick to give up on that. So, when you bring a Betta fish home and it won’t eat pellets, it may actually be because it has developed a taste for the good stuff. Bettas can indeed be picky eaters. It may have nothing to do with their health, but simply with the fact that they like to eat like royalty. The Environment Another thing that may be causing your Betta fish to refuse to eat Betta pellets is the environment in which they live. If you have not set up the Betta fish’s tank properly, which means mimicking their natural environment, they could simply be unhappy with their surroundings. Just like people, when a fish is depressed or unhappy, it may not eat. Moreover, some Betta fish are quite sensitive to changes in their environment. If you bring them home and they are not used to the tank, or if the water parameters are not right, they may refuse to eat anything at all. The Water Yet another reason why your Betta fish is not eating pellets could have to do with the water, specifically the temperature of the water. Betta fish are tropical fish that prefer fairly warm waters. Their metabolisms are actually affected quite drastically by the water temperature. If the water in the Betta tank is too cold, it will slow down its metabolism, thus causing it to eat much less of everything. On the flipside of things, water that is too warm will increase the metabolic rate of your Betta fish and cause it to eat way more than it should. Let’s do water quality for your betta fish health A Sick Betta The other reason why your Betta fish may not be eating pellets is because it is sick or bloated. If the water is too cold, if you have been feeding the Betta foods that it can’t handle, or if you have been over – feeding it, it may be bloated and will therefore probably not eat pellets. Your Betta may also be suffering from a viral, bacterial, or genetic condition that causes a lack of appetite. The Best Solutions To Try There are a few different things that you can try doing to attempt to get your Betta fish to eat pellets, most of which are directly related to the causes listed above. Wait for a while to see what happens. If the cause is that your Betta splendens is spoiled and used to better food, it may just need some time to get used to the no name stuff, so to speak. If the reason why your fish is not eating is due to pickiness, it will probably start eating once it gets hungry enough. You can try feeding it other foods such as flakes, live foods, or some kind of frozen food. Simply put, your Betta fish might just not like the pellets at all. Once again, if it does get hungry enough and it is because it doesn’t like pellets, it will probably eat them anyway. If the cause of your Betta fish not eating pellets has to do with the water temperature, simply try making the water warmer to increase its metabolic rate. You should probably invest in a water heater either way. If you notice any signs of illness such as weird swimming, erratic behavior, lethargy, and any kind of visible symptoms, that could be the reason why your Betta fish is not eating. In this case you should bring it to a vet or expert to get an accurate diagnosis. Once your Betta is back to full health, it will most likely begin eating the pellets. Conclusion Whatever the case may be, your Betta fish is so much more than a pet, and they deserve to be treated as such. So, it is your responsibility to make sure that they are happy and healthy, a big part of which is eating right

    15 Common Betta Fish Diseases Prevention and Treatment Betta fish diseases made suffers from a number of health conditions, but the good news to the keepers of this type of fish is that these health problems can be prevented and also treated. If the infections occur in the aquarium, they can be easily identified and treated effectively. 1. Fin and Tail Rot As the name suggests, this disease affects the fins and tail of betta. It can be caused by bacteria or fungi. The fins and tail appear to melt away as a result of rotting. It can be prevented by keeping the aquarium or living conditions of the fish clean. Fin and Tail Rot can be treated by medications containing antibiotics, such as trimethoprim, erythromycin and sulfadimidine. If it is effectively treated, the fatality is medium. If you have had Fin and Tail Rot affecting your fish, you may have tried medications such as Tetracycline, Jungle Fungus Eliminator (JFE), Maracyn or Melafix. But the truth of the matter is that these medications are not quite effective in treating this infection, and some even kill your fish. I have had little success with JFE and the other medications showed no success – they even worsened the condition. According to my own experience, the most effective medication for Fin and Tail Rot is Waterlife-Myxazin manufactured by a reputable company. The medication is itself a 5-day treatment, and it comes with clear instructions on how to use it. The most amazing thing about this treatment is that it starts to give positive results from day one! According to the manufacturer, it can also deal with pop eye, body rot, raised veins, ulcers, ‘redness’, cloudy eyes and other health conditions. If you have the Fin and Tail Rot disease or the related infections in your aquarium, I would encourage you to go for this medication. I have been using it since I discovered it in 2010 and I have had no disappointments with it. Fin rot betta symptoms : Depending on the severity of the infection, the signs may vary: Mild fin rot: slightly ragged fins, brownish fin edges Moderate fin rot: large fin disintegration, receding fin tips, black or red tattered edges, fuzzy growth on the fins Severe fin rot: Massive loss/chunks of fins missing, bloody fin bases, increased inflammation and redness, open sores on fins, body rot. Fin rot betta causes : It’s usually caused by poor water quality. Common stressors such as overcrowding, higher bio load, and overfeeding/underfeeding can also weaken the fish’s immune system, thus making them susceptible to the disease. Fin rot can also develop as a symptom of a fungal infection or other illnesses. Fin rot betta treatment : Maintaining clean water and ideal parameters can treat mild and moderate fin rot. Daily water changes are effective. For optimum results, add aquarium salt. In severe cases, medicate your betta using Fritz’s Maracyn 2 or Seachem’s KanaPlex. 2. Columnaris This is a bacterial disease that causes the fins to rag and fray. It also causes skin ulcers or lesions, white spots on the mouth, cottony growth on the mouth, scales and fins, and gills discoloration. The fish can have breathing difficulties as a result of the gill infection. The sickness can be prevented by treating open wounds and fungal infections. It can also be prevented by avoiding factors, such as limited oxygen, water hardness and overcrowding in the aquarium. Columnaris can be treated by Oxytetracycline and antibiotics containing Sulfa 4 TMP, TMP Sulfa and triple sulfa. If the infected fish is not treated, it can die in less than 72 hours. 3. Hemorrhagic betta fish Commonly known as Redmouth, Hemorrhagic causes serious bleeding inside the mouth and eyes of the fish. The disease can be prevented by disinfecting the aquarium to kill Yersinia Ruckeri, which is the bacteria causing the illness. The treatment of Hemorrhagic is possible with antibiotics such as ampicillin. The infection is treatable, which means that the fatality is low. Hemorrhagic betta symptoms : Septicemia can be hard to diagnose on red-colored betta fish. Dark red outlined blood vessels along the fin tips and under the scales Red marks may also be noticed around the mouth Lethargic behavior Refusal of food Unstable swimming pattern Hemorrhagic betta causes : Internal bacterial infection in the bloodstream Adding new tankmates without quarantining can spread the disease Poor water conditions Feeding infected food, mainly live food Chronic stress Hemorrhagic betta treatment : Higher nitrite concentration can also cause redness or streaks under the scales. To rule out this possibility, perform a water test. Keep your water pristine quality. Unless the underlying issue is known, it’s difficult to suggest medication. However, you can go for Minocycline (Maracyn II). It’s used for treating a broad spectrum of bacteria and has some decent success rates for curing Septicemia. Kanaplex is another highly recommended medication. This is a deadly ailment that affects the kidneys. The infected fish can have swollen abdomen as a result of accumulation of internal fluid. Some more symptoms include; outward-sticking scales and sunken eyes. The bacterial infection can be prevented by keeping the aquarium clean. It can also be prevented by feeding fish with vitamins-rich foods. There is no known cure for Dropsy but medications, such as Betta Revive, can help with the condition. Most fish that suffer from Dropsy do not survive. Dropsy Symptoms : Extreme swelling in the abdominal area Betta scales sticking out like a pinecone Loss of appetite and hindered ability to swim Fish stay closer to the surface for oxygen Dropsy betta causes : Kidney failure in bettas (that lead to dropsy or excess water retention) can be caused by a virus, bacteria, or parasitic infection. Poor nutrition, environmental or genetic factors can also be responsible for the condition. Dropsy betta treatment : While dropsy is not always treatable, antibiotics or Epsom salt in a hospital tank are known to produce positive results. Recommended antibiotics for dropsy include SeaChem’s KanaPlex (or any other kanamycin-based medication) or Mardel Maracyn II. More info : How to treat Dropsy in Betta fish and Protect your betta fish from Dropsy 5. Pop Eye betta fish This disorder causes swelling on one or both eyes. The swelling can be a tumor or viral infection. Pop Eye is usually a symptom of a disease and can be avoided by preventing infections in the aquarium. Antibiotics such as Tetracycline can cure the ailment. Most fish that suffer from Pop Eye survives at the end. Popeye betta Symptoms : Bulging eye. Protrusion of one or both eyeballs. Cloudiness of the eyeball. Expansion of the eye sockets Eye rupture Popeye betta cause : Prolonged exposure to poor water quality. A result of injury or bacterial infections. Sometimes, Popeye can be a sign of Tuberculosis, a fatal fish disease. Popeye betta treatment : First of all, test your water parameters. Ammonia and nitrite should be at 0 ppm, nitrate below 20 ppm, and pH at 7.0 If the test reading measures elevated toxins, carry out water changes. Give your betta a salt bath treatment. If Popeye results from an injury, your betta will heal on its own as long as the condition doesn’t lead to secondary infection. Lastly, when nothing seems to work, take the help of antibiotics – Maracyn II or Kanaplex. 6. Eye cloud betta fish Commonly known as Cloudy cornea, this disease causes white films on the eyes. It can be prevented by improving the quality of water. A water conditioner is needed to make the water safer for the aquatic animal. Eyecloud can be treated by antibiotics such as Metafix and Fungus Clear. The bacterial sickness is not fatal but can impair vision. Eye clound betta causes : Cloudy betta eyes can be caused by chemical imbalances, bacterial infection, internal parasites, nutritional deficiencies, or a physical eye injury. Eye clound betta treat ment : Treating cloudiness involves addressing the underlying cause and taking preventive measures accordingly. However, if you feel clueless, do this: Conduct a water test to ensure toxins aren’t running high Perform daily water changes Get rid of stressors (if any) Give your betta an Epsom salt bath If the problem persists or worsens, consult a veterinarian for an accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plan. 7. Mouth Fungus This is actually a bacterial disease, and it causes white lines and clumps around the lips and mouth of the fish. It can be avoided by keeping the water clean. Amoxicillin as an antibiotic can cure Mouth Fungus. The infected fish cannot survive if the illness is not treated early enough. Mouth fungus symptoms : Gross signs of Columnaris disease include frayed fins, depigmented lesions on the skin, and necrotic gill lesions. Secondary fungi infections appear as cottony growth or grayish-white patches around the head or mouth. Another distinctive symptom of Columnaris is the development of a raised lesion on the back, like a saddle on the fish’s body. Mouth fungus causes : Stress conditions and poor water quality (high nitrite levels and organic load) Mouth fungus treatment : Columnaris can be cured using antibiotic bath treatment. Use Kanamycin and Nitrofurazone together. Kanamycin is found in Seachem Kanaplex, and Nitrofurazone is found in either Jungle Fungus Clear Fizz tabs or Furan-2. You need at least 2 rounds of treatments. It’s best to have the antibiotics in the tank for 7-10 days to mitigate the infection from your betta’s system. Salt bath treatments can be used for disinfecting water contaminated by F. columnare. For severe infections, you may require systemic antibiotic therapy. Let’s Learning Your Medications for Bettas 8. Furunculosis The symptoms of Furunculosis include skin ulcers and open red sores. Improving water quality can effectively prevent the disease. Fungus Clear as an antibiotic can treat this bacterial ailment. Furunculosis can kill fish that doesn’t receive treatment in time. Furunculosis symptoms : Betta fish Furunculosis can be caused by various factors, including infections, Bacterial, or poor water quality. Furunculosis causes : Betta fish will have a swollen belly. and have inflammation which will be seen as red on the abdomen Furuculosis treatment : Keep the water clean Add seasalt in to the jar 1 teaspoon for 2 litter water. Stop to feeding until he back to normal and can start to feed. 9. Fungus betta fish This is a fungal disease that originates from previous infections. The affected betta usually has cotton-like growths or slime (mucus) on the skin. It can be prevented by avoiding primary infections and injuries and keeping the aquarium clean. Antibiotics such as Methylene Blue and Fungus Clear can cure Fish Fungus. It can also be treated effectively by the Bettafix Remedy mentioned below. The sickness can become fatal if it is not treated early enough. Fungus symptoms : Gross signs of Columnaris disease include frayed fins, depigmented lesions on the skin, and necrotic gill lesions. Secondary fungi infections appear as cottony growth or grayish-white patches around the head or mouth. Another distinctive symptom of Columnaris is the development of a raised lesion on the back, like a saddle on the fish’s body. Fungus causes : Stress conditions and poor water quality (high nitrite levels and organic load) Fungus treatment : While dropsy is not always treatable, antibiotics or Epsom salt in a hospital tank are known to produce positive results. Recommended antibiotics for dropsy include SeaChem’s KanaPlex (or any other kanamycin-based medication) or Mardel Maracyn II. 10. Velvet Siamese fighting fish infected with Velvet appears to have a rusty skin. The parasitic disease can be prevented by improving the quality of water and ensuring the living conditions are stress-free. Water conditioners are some of the best substances to improve the living conditions. It is highly contagious but it can be treated fully by Bettafix Remedy. Manufactured by Aquarium Pharmaceuticals, this medication consists of curing components such as sodium chloride, copper sulfate, acriflavin, formalin, sulfa 4 TMP, methylene blue and malachite green. With all these healing components, this remedy can also be used to treat all the other diseases, illnesses, sickness and disorders listed on this article. I have been keeping bettas for almost 15 years, and I have seen this medication heal my aquatic pets. I recommend that you use it to prevent, control and treat many ill-health conditions. If Velvet is not treated early enough, the infected fish dies in a matter of days. Velvet Symptoms : Velvet-infected betta fish appears brownish-gold with a rust-like dusting on the body, fins, and/or gills. It causes the betta to lose its slime coat. You may also find your betta rubbing against objects to itch their bodies to get parasites off. Other signs include lethargy, clamped fins, and respiratory distress. Velvet causes : Velvet disease in bettas is caused by ongoing stressors, such as poor water quality and prolonged exposure to colder water temperatures. Velvet treatment : Medicate your fish using Mardel’s CopperSafe. Copper-based anti-parasite medicines are usually effective against gold dust disease. A week-long blackout (complete darkness) is particularly helpful in eradicating the parasite as it partly depends on photosynthesis. Raise the temperature to 80 degrees Fahrenheit Discontinue carbon filtration during treatment. 11. Ich Also known as White Spot, Ich or Ick is a parasitic disease that causes white dots or spots on the skin of betta fish. It can be prevented by changing the water regularly. The sickness can be treated by Fish-zole, Malachite Green or salt baths. It is very easy to deal with the illness if treatment starts early. Ich signs and symptoms : The most noticeable sign of Ich infection is tiny crystals on the body and fins, like someone has sprinkled salt on the betta. Other symptoms may include loss of appetite, rapid breathing, fish rubbing their bodies on decor items or gravel, lethargy, and hiding behavior. Ich causes and contributing factors : Stress Contagious companions Poor water quality Ich treatment : Quarantine your betta fish. Gradually increase the tank’s temperature up to 81-86 degrees Fahrenheit. Warm water holds less dissolved oxygen, so consider adding an airstone. Add aquarium salt to the aquarium or use strong medications such as Rid Ich Plus, Ich-X, or Mardel Copper Safe. Perform daily water changes. NOTE: Do not stop the treatment early, even if the Ich seems to be gone.

    How often should you change betta fish water. Change Betta fish water It is a basic question that is asked very often. And many of you are also wondering how often Nice Betta Thailand changes the water. It must be clearly explained that Changing the water depends on the size of the fish tank. The smaller the size, the more often it should be changed. Normally from Nice Betta Thailand, they will change the water for fish in bottles every 1-2 days and change the water for fish in jars every 3 days, depending on cleanliness factors. Mainly Change betta fish water safe for betta step by step An Aquarium Siphon One of the most important things that you need to change the water in your Betta fish tank is a siphon. You need to get a special aquarium siphon that will automatically let the water out of the tank. These siphons also help to suck waste from the bottom of the tank. Buckets You are going to need 1 buckets, one for the clean water and one for the dirty water. Make sure that the bucket with the clean water has never had any chemicals in it. The bucket for the dirty water can be any bucket as you will be throwing that water out anyway. Thermometer & pH Kit Before you put the water in the tank, you need to make sure that it is at the right temperature and has the right pH level. This is important because you do not want to add new water into the tank that does not have the right pH level of temperature. Water Conditioner The water that comes out of your sink has fluoride, chlorine, and other chemicals in it which are not good for any aquarium. Water conditioner will help remove and neutralize these substances found in tap water, making it useable for aquariums. How Often To Change The Water In Your Betta Fish Tank When it comes to water changes, this is something that needs to be done on a regular basis. Now, this is not a dead set and written in stone procedure. Different people recommend different water change schedules to maintain clean water. Generally speaking, most would recommend to change around 1/3 of the water on a weekly basis, but no more. You don’t want to change too much of the water because it does have certain parameters, such as the pH level, hardness, temperature, biological agents, and bacteria. You do not want to alter too much at once due to risk of stressing your fish out or creating water conditions that are less than ideal for survival and healthy development. Fill a clean bucket with clean and fresh water. Do this before you even look at the betta fish tank. .You need to use water conditioner in order to condition the water and remove chlorine and other harmful substances from the fresh water. Putting your betta fish in water with chlorine in it is toxic and can lead to death rather quickly. Always follow the exact instructions provided with the specific water conditioner you buy. .You need to let the water warm up a bit, to at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Ideally, you need to allow the water to warm up to the same temperature as the current water inside of the aquarium. You can do this by simply letting it sit or by using a water heater (we have reviewed our top 5 here) if you need things to go a little faster. An easy way is to mix hot and cold water from the tap until you hit the right temperature. Now, remove 30% of the water from the tank. You can do this by hand with a bucket, or you can use a special water removal siphon to make things a little easier. If you can, clean the gravel at the bottom of the tank before adding new water into the tank. A gravel siphon is ideal for this. Add in as much water as is needed to get the tank back to the original water level. How To Keep Betta Fish Water Clean Siamese fighting fish do eat a fair amount and they can definitely create a decent amount of waste as well. This creates ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, and pollutes the water. There are several things which can pollute the water, but with the right tools and the right steps, you can easily keep betta fish water clean. Let’s go over the most important tips you can follow in order to keep betta fish water as clean as can be. Don’t overfeed your betta fish. Uneaten food will end up at the bottom of the tank and start to rot, degrade, grow bacteria, and pollute the water. Only feed your betta 2 or 3 times per day and do not give them more than they can finish in around 3 minutes. Perform regular aquarium cleaning. This is beside the water changing we talked about before. Use a gravel siphon to clean the gravel and use warm water to clean decorations, driftwood, and other such things. Make sure that the plants in the betta fish tank are healthy. If there are rotting leaves or stems, either remove them or remove the whole plant. Rotting plants release chemicals into the water that should not be there. You need to havea great 3 stage filtration unit. Now, betta fish are known for being able to survive in water that is not exactly pristinely clean. However, that being said, they do better in clean water. A good filter that engages in mechanical, biological, and chemical filtration is key. Mechanical filtration removes fish waste and debris, biological filtration gets rid of ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates, and chemical filtration gets rid of other toxins, odors, and discoloration too. You can always try adding in some snails which will eat algae growing in the tank. Conclusion change betta fish water As long as you follow the steps outlined above, in terms of water changing and keeping the tank clean, keeping your betta fish in prime health should be no problem at all. Change betta fish water Summary Change betta fish water depend on the size of their container — smaller containers require more frequent water changes — but at Nice Betta, we change the water every 1-2 days for fish in jars and every 3 days for fish in larger jars/containers, depending on the cleanliness of the water. When changing the water, follow these steps: use a siphon to suck out any debris from the bottom of the container, prepare new water using a water conditioner to remove chlorine and chemicals, adjust the temperature and pH to a level close to the original container, and change approximately 30% of the total water volume in the container to the original level after cleaning the gravel or decorative materials. In addition to water changes, there are other tips for keeping your betta’s water clean, including avoiding overfeeding, removing decorative pots or rotting plants, using a good water filtration system (mechanical / biological / chemical), and, where appropriate, using snails to help eat algae.

    What is Hellboy betta fish? Hellboy Betta Fish Many people may already know or have heard of it, but most people tend to think that “Hellboy” is a fancy Betta fish because it has the same vibrant colors. But in fact, “Hellboy” is not a traditional fancy fish. Characteristics of Hellboy Betta Fish Hellboys are typically a base color of Blood red 100% but fancy hellboy has Red 70-80% being the most common base color, with the remaining 20-30% being other colors such as blue, black, green, and white. Some have scales covering parts of their body, fins, and tail, with some even having star-shaped tails. Original Hellboy betta fish colors The deep red or blood red color is distinctive. There are no fancy patterns mixed in, such as multi-colored tails or multi-colored spots. Most come in a full red body, some have a black head, black tail or black fin edges for a fierce look. The difference between Hellboy betta and Fancy Betta. Fancy Betta fish have a variety of colored scales on their bodies that are arranged according to their species. There will be more than three colors in the fish, and over 90% of them will have these colorful scales all over their bodies. But Hellboy’s color comes from his “skin” and “subcutaneous layer,” not his scales, making his reds darker, more aggressive, deeper, and denser. The origin of the Hellboy betta fish The Hellboy Betta was developed in 2014, during the height of the Koi Betta trend. Breeders began crossbreeding various Koi Bettas (red, white, and black) with distinctly darker colors. The result was that some were completely red, and the color was so intense that they were separated into a new lineage known as the “Hellboy Betta.” Although Hellboy Bettas are relatively easy to develop and are a byproduct of Koi Bettas, they have been further developed, resulting in the Hellboy Betta, which has a highly stable bloodline. A new development was also developed by crossbreeding Hellboy Bettas with Fancy Bettas, resulting in the even more beautiful “Fancy Hellboy Betta.” Current development of Hellboy bettas There are develop like Hellboy Dumbo, Hellboy Halfmoon, and Hellboy Fancy. It is recognized as one of the most popular fighting fish, along with Koi betta and Candy betta. Prices depend on the intensity of the color and the form, especially fancy Hellboys, some of which have unusual and rare markings, some costing tens to hundreds of dollars. Why is it called Hellboy betta Fish? The fighting fish has a red body and some parts are black, resembling the cartoon/movie character “Hellboy”, so it is called according to the color characteristics of this type of fish. Thai breeders started using this name to create understanding with customers in the market, but it became so popular that it became a name that is actually used in the industry. Raising Hellboy Betta Fish Generally, the care of a Heboy betta is not much different from that of other bettas, but the care factors also affect the intensity of the color. Must be raised in clean water at a temperature of 27–30°C. Feed high protein foods (red mites, bloodworms, good quality pellets Nice Betta Pro) Avoid letting the fish swim in a tank with a filter system and strong whirlpools, as this will stress the fish and cause their color to fade. They may also eat less and have health problems later on. Using Indian almond leaves in conjunction with this will make the fish darker in color. However, be careful with the Fancy Hellboy, as it will cause the scales to become so colored that it will be almost indistinguishable from the Hellboy betta. Hellboy betta fish Summary The Hellboy Betta is a betta developed from the Koi line, selected for its deep red color throughout its body. Some species have a slight black pattern. This distinctive characteristic earned it the name “Hellboy Betta” after the famous cartoon character. It is currently very popular among ornamental bettas in Thailand and abroad due to its striking coloration, beautiful form, and high value when selected for its sharp, all-red color.

    Treating Betta fish fin rot Let’s treat Betta fish fin rot , like many fish diseases, is caused by a combination of factors. It’s a bacterial or fungal infection, meaning the “melting” is caused by bacteria or fungus eating away at the fins. Bacteria such as Pseudomonas that cause fin rot are not that dangerous for your fish by themselves and can actually be found in any aquarium. The real danger is secondary infection, such as when the fish rips its (tail) fin or is otherwise injured, for example by other fish. The bacteria and fungus can easily latch onto the open wound and cause it to become infected. What causes betta fish fin rot? Another huge factor in fin rot is stress. A stressed fish is much more susceptible to any disease and especially fin rot! Stress can be caused by many things, but the main reasons for fin rot are bad water quality and an improperly cycled aquarium caused by overstocking or lack of water changes. Insufficient feeding, bad choice of tankmates, injuries, disease or stress from transport and all other things that cause stress and/or injuries to a betta fish increase the chances of infection. The oranda below has both dropsy and a case of fin rot on the pelvic fins. Preventing fin rot There are a few simple steps you can take to stop fin rot before it has a chance to start. Keep your aquarium clean and ammonia and nitrite values at zero at all times. Make sure the tank is properly cycled before you introduce any fish. Research the fish you’re interested in and their needs and compatibility to prevent aggression and overstocking. Although it’s tempting to buy as many fish as possible, a slightly understocked aquarium is much less stressful for both you (less maintenance) and the fish! Once everything is up and running and the fish/invertebrates are introduced, do plenty of water changes according to your stocking level and the bioload of your fish, making sure to dechlorinate the water with a dechlorinator like Prime unless you live in a country that doesn’t use chlorine/chloramine in tap water. Feed a varied diet of high quality food and prevent over- or underfeeding. Avoid commercially bred very long finned fish such as veiltail goldfish or angelfish, halfmoon bettas and especially rosetail bettas. The large fins are easily damaged and bettas may actually bite off excessive finnage, leaving an open wound. These steps will not prevent all cases of fin rot but if you always make sure to keep the stress levels of your fish as low as possible and try to prevent any damage/injury, the chances of infection are severely reduced. Diagnosing fin rot Betta fish fin rot is not difficult to diagnose. In the earliest stage, the fins may get red and inflamed looking streaks. This is not visible in all fish though! When the infection progresses, the typical “melting” of the fins begins. In severe cases and with long finned fish, this can happen very quickly, with entire pieces of the fins falling off. The fish may become lethargic and the fins will be left looking ragged and with white or dark-colored edges depending on the type of infection. In very severe cases the fins can be eaten away completely. When this happens and the infection reaches the body it’s usually too late to save the fish, so it’s vital to act quickly when you see any of these symptoms. Curing fin rot In very early cases, increasing water changes and keeping the aquarium extra clean may be enough to stop fin rot. If the infection is already getting serious, it’s a better idea to start treatment right away. Siamese fighting fish that are in a community aquarium should be quarantined for this, as you don’t want to expose healthy fish to unnecessary medication. Keep the quarantine water very clean to prevent further deterioration of the fins. For more information about quarantining fish. If clean water isn’t working or the fin rot is already too severe, it’s unfortunately time to move on to stronger medication: antibiotics. These are not available over the counter everywhere, but in the US you should be able to find them. Maracyn 2 treats gram-negative bacteria that are usually the cause of fin rot and is a popular treatment for bacterial fish disease. With the right treatment you should see some fin regrowth in no time. The bettas pictured below are the same fish! Betta fish fin rot is one of the most easily prevented aquarium fish diseases. Although there’s always a chance you may end up with an infected fish after transport from the store, moving or an accident, keeping up with maintenance and doing research on proper aquarium care and tankmates should help you prevent almost all cases. If you do spot fin rot on one of your fish, keep a very close eye on your water values and take the time to re-evaluate your water change schedule and the amount of fish you keep in the tank! Fin rot is one of the most easily prevented aquarium fish diseases. Although there’s always a chance you may end up with an infected fish after transport from the store, moving or an accident, keeping up with maintenance and doing research on proper aquarium care and tankmates should help you prevent almost all cases. If you do spot fin rot on one of your fish, keep a very close eye on your water values and take the time to re-evaluate your water change schedule and the amount of fish you keep in the tank! If you have any more questions about preventing and treating fin rot or if you want to share your experience, feel free to leave a comment below. Happy! Betta fish fin rot Summary Fin rot in betta fish is caused by bacteria or fungi, often associated with unclean water conditions and stress. It begins with red, inflamed fins that gradually tear and dissolve. If severe, it can escalate to the point of death. Initial treatment involves frequent water changes and isolating the fish in a quarantine tank. However, if the condition is severe, antibiotics such as Maracyn-2 are necessary. Prevention is simple: maintain water quality, maintain cleanliness, and maintain an appropriate fish population. This will reduce the risk of this disease almost completely.

    Biography of the Dragon Betta Fish When it comes to betta fish, no one would not know about the “Dragon betta fish Family” fighting fish. It has also been popular for a long time among betta fish lovers because it is a fighting fish that stands out in terms of its scales that are raised and especially thick and strong scales. Characteristics of the Dragon betta Fish There is a clear thickness of the scales. The color of the scales is usually a metallic silvery white. The dorsal fins are often dark or bright to contrast the scales. Found in both short-finned (Halfmoon, Plakad, Crowtail,) and long-finned. In addition to Black dragon, Red dragon, Gold dragon, Blue dragon and Orange Dragon, Dragon type fighting fish also have many other beautiful and interesting colors such as Fancy Dragon. The origin of the dragon betta fish Dragon betta fish was first seen in 2004. Most people will see it on the Aquabid platform from a Thai breeder, Somkiat Aquastar71, who wanted to create a silver/metallic betta with a shiny “dragon scale”. The breed used to breed the starting point of the Dragon betta fish It was a cross between a normal betta fish with a wild Betta Mahachaiensis breed and a metallic betta fish from the Betta splendens breed to get thick and shiny scales, which will be inbreed repeatedly in many generations, taking many years to come out as a pure dragon bloodline. The dragon family that was successful at that time was the Red Dragon Betta Fish. Comparative sample images of Dragon betta fish in 2004 and the development of the breed until now. After that, there were more developments and breeding to have a variety of colors such as Black dragon, Gold dragon, and the very rare White dragon. Currently, we rarely see the White dragon color. First half-moon dragon long tail As time passed, this breeder who was already very fond of and fascinated by the long-tailed betta fish and originally had the goal of creating the long-tailed dragon betta fish, started developing it again until the first long-tailed dragon betta fish was born in 2007. Starting in 2005, the long-tailed dragon betta fish was a breed that was used to crossbreed the pure-blooded short-tailed red dragon betta fish with the Mustard color. In the first generation, the resulting betta were not dragon-colored at all. Instead, they were betta fish with green bodies and thick scales and red tails. However, he knew that these fish had dragon betta fish bloodlines and their tails were not very long because their ancestors had short tails. After that, he chose to continue Inbreeding until he got pure blood and the disadvantages of Inbreeding in many generations during that time made the dragon fighting fish often have a high chance of having a Tumor. However, in exchange, the success of seeing the long-tailed dragon fighting fish was achieved in 2007. Types of Dragon Betta Fish colors Currently, the long-tailed dragon betta fish comes in a variety of colors. Black Dragon Betta fish Black Dragon Betta is one of the most popular species of the Dragon Betta family, which has a very distinctive and elegant appearance. It is derived from the first species of Dragon Fish (Red Dragon), with the base color developed to be a dark black (Black Base) and covered with metallic scales. It is a crossbreeding between Black Betta fish and Metallic/Platinum Gene line. Fins around the body: Dark black betta Scales: Silver or metallic white Highlights: Clear contrast between black and white, classic and fierce The rarity of black dragon betta Black Dragons with jet black color throughout the body and fins, with full sheet of metallic white scales, are considered very rare. It is usually found that some have “missing spots” of pigment or “incomplete lines”, making them not 100% complete. Which we often see bites are usually Black Dragons that are not very perfect. But if the breeder is not serious about quality, there is no need to worry. Red Dragon Betta Fish The Red Dragon Betta is one of the first species and is considered the progenitor of the entire Dragon Betta family. It is an original strain of Dragon Betta that was developed in Thailand in the early 2000s. Fins around the body: Bright red betta Scales: Metallic silver-white Highlights: Contrasting colors, beautiful in the aquarium Unique Features The contrast of the colors, deep red vs. shiny silver, gives a feeling of “luxury and power”. It is a basic strain that many breeders have further developed, such as: Red Fancy Dragon, Red Copper Dragon, Red Galaxy Dragon The rarity of red dragon betta It is one of the best-selling species in the Dragon Betta group. Betta fish enthusiasts love it because its red color is “auspicious” and stands out in display tanks, especially in Asia. Currently, red dragons are not difficult to find because they are sold in many places. However, breeders looking for high-quality grades that can compete may have to look at Nice Betta Thailand farms. Gold Dragon Betta Fish Gold Dragon Betta or “Golden Dragon Betta” is another beautiful, luxurious and popular species among premium betta fish breeders. Developed from the Dragon Betta strain that has a metallic gene, it is a further development from the Red Dragon by mixing it with the gold metallic gene. The aim is to create fish with shiny gold betta-like scales on dark or light colored backgrounds. Fins around the body: Light golden yellow Scales: Metallic gold-white Highlights: Shiny and luxurious Outstanding beauty The body that looks like it is covered in “gold armor” gives a luxurious, outstanding and eye-catching feeling. In some fish, the scales have a shiny sheen like gold foil, reflecting light beautifully. Especially when in a dark tank with light shining on the betta fish, it will be even more outstanding. The rarity of gold dragon betta It is a fish that is very popular among those who like auspicious fish. Gold color = wealth, good luck. It is very popular in the Chinese, Indonesian and Thai markets and is easy to find in many stores. However, if you want to find a golden dragon betta that is competition grade, it is not easy because the farm that breeds, takes care of quality and emphasizes bloodlines at the moment is Nice Betta Thailand Farm. Orange Dragon Betta Fish Orange Dragon Betta or “Orange Dragon” is one of the rarest and most uniquely beautiful species. It is much harder to get “metallic scales” on a perfect “orange base” than other species, but it is also the least popular. Origin: Developed from Dragon Betta line by emphasizing the orange base color, which is difficult to maintain the color vividly. It requires using genes from orange-based Betta fish (such as Orange Dalmatian) mixed with metallic line with thick scales. Controlling the metallic scales so that they do not “swallow” or “cover” the orange color is a challenge for breeders to this day. Fins around the body: Bright orange betta Scales: Metallic silver-white Highlights: Bright colors that clearly contrast with the dragon scales The rarity of Orange dragon betta It is very difficult to get a fish with a bright orange color + thick, metallic scales. Fish that are “too yellowish” or have thin scales are not considered a true Orange Dragon. A truly perfect one will give the feeling of a “foil-coated orange”. White Dragon Betta Fish White Dragon Betta or “White Dragon” is one of the breeds that looks “pure, luxurious and quietly powerful” in a simple but very charming way. Fins around the body: Bright white, shiny Scales: Metallic silver white, thick scales look strong, not smooth like White platinum Highlights: Shiny reflection, looks luxurious and powerful. Origin: Developed from the Dragon Betta strain with thick, shiny, metallic scales. It uses a white/pastel base Betta strain mixed with a metallic strain to create a creamy white body with shiny scales. The highlight is that it is “true white betta” with no other colors mixed in and has thick scales like a dragon’s armor. The rarity of White dragon betta White Dragon Betta is one of the rarest Dragon Bettas. Most of the ones you find are just White Platinum and some unethical shops tell customers that they are White Dragon. Please be careful. White Dragon Betta, especially in the pure white level, with dense metallic scales and smooth from head to tail, is difficult to breed due to controlling the white gene to be pure without any other colors mixed in, including maintaining the shiny scales when the fish is fully grown. White Dragon Betta that is classified as high quality or show grade is not often found and is often expensive in the market. Because of its beauty, complete structure and rarity of the genetic characteristics that make this breed continuously popular among collectors and professional breeders. YinYang Dragon Betta Fish Yin Yang Dragon Betta is a new breed inspired by the ancient Chinese concept of “Yin-Yang”, which means the balance of two opposite forces such as black and white, female and male, calm and moving. It is used as a creative idea to mix two contrasting colors of black and white Betta fish in a balanced way. It is under development by Nice Betta Thailand Farm with only a few owners in the world, for premium customers who are collectors of high-quality Betta fish from Nice Betta Thailand only. Currently, it has not been released to other farms. New information update soon after we success stable genetic YingYang Dragon………………. Dragon Betta Fish Summary Dragon Betta Fish or “Dragon Betta Fish” is a breed of Betta fish developed by a Thai named Somkiat from selective breeding. The highlight is the thick scales, shiny metallic color, similar to dragon armor, so it was named “Dragon”. This breed originated in Thailand around 2004, starting with the development of Red Dragon, which was the first in the family. Then, the breed was divided into different colors such as Black Dragon, White Dragon, Gold Dragon, and Orange Dragon. “Dragon Scale” are a unique feature that makes the fish look elegant, strong, and more prominent than general Betta breeds. After that, the short-tailed Dragon betta fish breed was developed into a long tail. Dragon Betta fish is popular among breeders and collectors in Thailand and abroad. With its beauty that is like living art, it can also be used in international competitions. Along with new colored dragons, Nice Betta Thailand is also under further development.

The origin of the dragon betta fish Dragon betta fish was first seen in 2004. Most people will see it on the Aquabid platform from a Thai breeder, Somkiat Aquastar71, who wanted to create a silver/metallic betta with a shiny “dragon scale”. The breed used to breed the starting point of the Dragon betta fish It was a cross between a normal betta fish with a wild Betta Mahachaiensis breed and a metallic betta fish from the Betta splendens breed to get thick and shiny scales, which will be inbreed repeatedly in many generations, taking many years to come out as a pure dragon bloodline. The dragon family that was successful at that time was the Red Dragon Betta Fish. Comparative sample images of Dragon betta fish in 2004 and the development of the breed until now. After that, there were more developments and breeding to have a variety of colors such as Black dragon, Gold dragon, and the very rare White dragon. Currently, we rarely see the White dragon color. First half-moon dragon long tail As time passed, this breeder who was already very fond of and fascinated by the long-tailed betta fish and originally had the goal of creating the long-tailed dragon betta fish, started developing it again until the first long-tailed dragon betta fish was born in 2007. Starting in 2005, the long-tailed dragon betta fish was a breed that was used to crossbreed the pure-blooded short-tailed red dragon betta fish with the Mustard color. In the first generation, the resulting betta were not dragon-colored at all. Instead, they were betta fish with green bodies and thick scales and red tails. However, he knew that these fish had dragon betta fish bloodlines and their tails were not very long because their ancestors had short tails. After that, he chose to continue Inbreeding until he got pure blood and the disadvantages of Inbreeding in many generations during that time made the dragon fighting fish often have a high chance of having a Tumor. However, in exchange, the success of seeing the long-tailed dragon fighting fish was achieved in 2007. Types of Dragon Betta Fish colors Currently, the long-tailed dragon betta fish comes in a variety of colors. Black Dragon Betta fish Black Dragon Betta is one of the most popular species of the Dragon Betta family, which has a very distinctive and elegant appearance. It is derived from the first species of Dragon Fish (Red Dragon), with the base color developed to be a dark black (Black Base) and covered with metallic scales. It is a crossbreeding between Black Betta fish and Metallic/Platinum Gene line. Fins around the body: Dark black betta Scales: Silver or metallic white Highlights: Clear contrast between black and white, classic and fierce The rarity of black dragon betta Black Dragons with jet black color throughout the body and fins, with full sheet of metallic white scales, are considered very rare. It is usually found that some have “missing spots” of pigment or “incomplete lines”, making them not 100% complete. Which we often see bites are usually Black Dragons that are not very perfect. But if the breeder is not serious about quality, there is no need to worry. Red Dragon Betta Fish The Red Dragon Betta is one of the first species and is considered the progenitor of the entire Dragon Betta family. It is an original strain of Dragon Betta that was developed in Thailand in the early 2000s. Fins around the body: Bright red betta Scales: Metallic silver-white Highlights: Contrasting colors, beautiful in the aquarium Unique Features The contrast of the colors, deep red vs. shiny silver, gives a feeling of “luxury and power”. It is a basic strain that many breeders have further developed, such as: Red Fancy Dragon, Red Copper Dragon, Red Galaxy Dragon The rarity of red dragon betta It is one of the best-selling species in the Dragon Betta group. Betta fish enthusiasts love it because its red color is “auspicious” and stands out in display tanks, especially in Asia. Currently, red dragons are not difficult to find because they are sold in many places. However, breeders looking for high-quality grades that can compete may have to look at Nice Betta Thailand farms. Gold Dragon Betta Fish Gold Dragon Betta or “Golden Dragon Betta” is another beautiful, luxurious and popular species among premium betta fish breeders. Developed from the Dragon Betta strain that has a metallic gene, it is a further development from the Red Dragon by mixing it with the gold metallic gene. The aim is to create fish with shiny gold betta-like scales on dark or light colored backgrounds. Fins around the body: Light golden yellow Scales: Metallic gold-white Highlights: Shiny and luxurious Outstanding beauty The body that looks like it is covered in “gold armor” gives a luxurious, outstanding and eye-catching feeling.

Orange Dragon Betta Fish Orange Dragon Betta or “Orange Dragon” is one of the rarest and most uniquely beautiful species. It is much harder to get “metallic scales” on a perfect “orange base” than other species, but it is also the least popular. Origin: Developed from Dragon Betta line by emphasizing the orange base color, which is difficult to maintain the color vividly. It requires using genes from orange-based Betta fish (such as Orange Dalmatian) mixed with metallic line with thick scales. Controlling the metallic scales so that they do not “swallow” or “cover” the orange color is a challenge for breeders to this day. Fins around the body: Bright orange betta Scales: Metallic silver-white Highlights: Bright colors that clearly contrast with the dragon scales The rarity of Orange dragon betta It is very difficult to get a fish with a bright orange color + thick, metallic scales. Fish that are “too yellowish” or have thin scales are not considered a true Orange Dragon. A truly perfect one will give the feeling of a “foil-coated orange”.

The highlight is that it is “true white betta” with no other colors mixed in and has thick scales like a dragon’s armor. The rarity of White dragon betta White Dragon Betta is one of the rarest Dragon Bettas. Most of the ones you find are just White Platinum and some unethical shops tell customers that they are White Dragon. Please be careful. White Dragon Betta, especially in the pure white level, with dense metallic scales and smooth from head to tail, is difficult to breed due to controlling the white gene to be pure without any other colors mixed in, including maintaining the shiny scales when the fish is fully grown. White Dragon Betta that is classified as high quality or show grade is not often found and is often expensive in the market. Because of its beauty, complete structure and rarity of the genetic characteristics that make this breed continuously popular among collectors and professional breeders.

It is under development by Nice Betta Thailand Farm with only a few owners in the world, for premium customers who are collectors of high-quality Betta fish from Nice Betta Thailand only.

    Disadvantages of Betta Fish Bowls Even though a lot of pet stores sell betta fish bowls, there usually is very little room in the betta fish in small cup many bettas are stress sick and finally die.. These fighting fish have no chance of longevity from these effects. Betta fish need much less care compared to many other fish because they are able to breathe oxygen from the top of the tank, but bettas still require a filter to keep their aquarium clean. If these fish don’t have a quality filter to clean the tank, they may become stressed and pick up harmful bacteria or fungus diseases that can slowly kill them if they aren’t treated right away. Because betta fish bowls lack space for a filter, quite a few fish hobbyists even go as far as to suggest that betta fish bowls are detrimental to fish. Yet, are round tanks honestly as terrible as people point out? Why Do Some Fish Owners Like Betta Bowls? Because of their light weight and very small size, betta fish bowls are preferred by several fish hobbyists. In fact, betta fish bowls can be moved around with ease, from room to room, potentially giving home owners a reason to take the betta fish bowl with them any place they go. Also, some people just like the look and feel of betta fish bowls, since they have a unique shape compared to rectangular or square aquariums. These bowls provide a nice change from a square aquarium, and a lot of people picture them as far more eye-catching. Why Do Many People Hate Betta Fish Bowls? Siamese fighting fish honestly don’t have ample space to move around in betta fish bowls because of the small size and round tank. In some betta fish bowls, not even plants can fit into the small surroundings, so betta fish would have nothing to hide behind. I’ve noticed that fighting fish absolutely adore to hide behind rocks, plants, and even logs. Without decoration, the fish will feel uncomfortable because it is out in the open. Plants help betta fish feel at ease and also prevent stress, and stress can halt your betta from flourishing. Live plants also give oxygen, contributing to better surroundings as well as a vibrant, happy, and healthy betta. Air stones, while they can probably fit in a betta fish bowl, may assist with oxygen, but they won’t clean the fish tank like a real aquarium filter. Without a real filter, fish owners are trapped into changing the water religiously every couple of days. This can be a lot of work, so sometimes washing the betta fish bowl will be postponed until later, and the betta will get vulnerable to diseases without clean water. The shape of the betta fish bowl is also a contributing factor, as it turns the aquarium into an automatic washer if you use a filter that is small enough to fit inside the betta bowl. Then, the unfortunate fish will most likely get shoved up against the glass to no end. What’s more, a heater normally can’t be setup in betta fish bowls, and a betta requires a heater to keep the water warm around 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit to grow and stay healthy. Unless the aquarium is arranged inside a pretty warm room or living area, the betta can’t possibly thrive well in cold temperatures. So, he’ll pick up diseases and may even pass away if these diseases aren’t medicated. A heater gives betta fish the proper betta fish care and warm temperatures needed to live a longer lifespan. Are Some Betta Fish Bowls Effective for Siamese Fighting Fish? There are a few betta fish bowls that are large enough to fit plants and filters, but they often cost more compared to square aquariums. Your filter and heater also need to be of quality. In the end, you’ll need to decide whether you’d prefer to spend the the extra dollars for a nice big bowl. The essential point here is that your fighting fish definitely will require the right filtration, suitable heating, and a nice good number of plants in addition to logs so that the fish can hide. Your betta aquarium shouldn’t just rely on the betta’s ability to breathe air from the tank surface.

    How Good And Bad Is Aquarium Salt For Betta Fish Basic Aquarium Salt – Sodium Chloride Aquarium salt is exclusively found in aquarium shops and fish sections of general stores. It is the cheapest of all fish salts used. It can also be found as non-iodised salt, table salt or even ice cream salt. It is basically just salt that we use in our daily lives. It has limitless medicinal properties which are helpful for curing Betta fish diseases. Epsom Salt – Magnesium Sulphate Epsom salt is a saline laxative which is also used as a remedy for swelling by humans. It works the same way for fishes too. It is less dangerous to fishes as compared to aquarium salt. It can be bought easily in general stores, first aid aisles and even in gas stations. Epsom salt often comes with scent and dyes for human usage, but for fishes make sure it does not contain any of them as they are harmful for them. This is the basic information you need to have about the aquarium salts before you buy them from the stores for you Betta fish tank. But, the usage of these salts effects the way a Betta would benefit or injure itself from them. So, let’s focus now on how to use these salts for a healthy fish life span and most effective usage. What Does Aquarium Salt Do To The Betta fish? Aquarium salt is a warrior against infections, parasite ich, bacterial growth, sticking of velvet on the scales of the fish. It helps in enhancing the healing process, and replenishes the fin/tail condition and shine from the rot. How Do You Apply It For Best Results? Aquarium salt is pretty versatile in its nature and the cheapest too. But, you should know how to use it and for what conditions. A bath is quite different from a dip. There is difference in the concentration levels of the mixture as well as the duration for which the Betta fish has to stay in it. Salt Dip Aquarium salt dip requires 1 table spoon per gallon of water. The time duration varies from 5 to 8 minutes depending on the severity. If the disease is related to fin rot or fungal infections, limit it to 5 minutes and for anything severe extend to 8 minutes. Important note: Never exceed the time duration over 8 minutes as it will decay your fish skin instead and burn its skin. Salt Bath After the fish has been treated in the dip for the given time, it needs to be treated further in a lesser concentrated mixture of salt bath for a longer duration. Aquarium salt bath requires 30 minutes to give the window of proper healing to the fish. Acclimation After the fish has been treated in dip and bath, it needs to acclimate before it is reintroduced to the fish tank. The doses bared by the fish can cause harm to the fish too and thus after acclimation in a reviving station tank, it can be put back in its normal tank. When To Not Use Aquarium Salt? Aquarium salt is of higher power and concentration and is useful for many healing purposes. But, when it comes to treatment for bloating, this salt should not be used. Your Siamese fighting fish needs to pass fluids and water and aquarium salt may become a barrier in the case of bloating What Does Epsom Salt Do To The Betta? Epsom salt is famous for its quality of reducing the swelling in case of humans so does it help cure swelling in fishes too. Betta fish is compatible to Epsom salt and is preferable to aquarium salt. How Do You Apply It For Best Results? Epsom salt works the same for both humans and fishes. It works as a laxative and help cure swim bladder disorder. It can also help the fish to be able to sink and swim better. Salt Dip For Epsom salt, only 1 table spoon or 3 tea spoons per gallon are required. The fish needs to stay in the mixture for 10-15 minutes depending on the severity. For less severe cases like constipation or wound infection keep it for 10 minutes and for more severe cases like bloating and Popeye disease extend to 15 minutes. Important note: Never exceed the given time frame or it will further degrade the health of the fish instead of curing it. Acclimation Often Betta does not require a salt bath after dipping as it is not affected much by this salt. So, after dipping acclimating the fish in a reviving tank to avoid possible shocks or trauma is important. When To Not Use Epsom Salt? In any case apart from swelling, bloating and wound infections prefer avoiding Epsom salt. But, using it at times to treat even your healthy fish its immune system will be increased. However, the salts that you use are external chemicals and any external object will somewhat affect your fish breeding process. Hence, you should use them only if required and have the information of their importance gathered before you use them in the fish tanks. The most required thing is to take good care of it on a daily basis by a compatible fish tank setup and maintaining proper food and diet.

When Betta Fish Die Young But no aquatic ninja skills can save bettas from the ultimate end that awaits us all. Ashes to ashes; fish flakes to fish flakes. One minute you’re swimming merrily along, the next you’re belly-up and stuck to the filter intake. There is no escaping the Angelfish of Death. Unfortunately, for many betta fish it all ends far too soon. If you are the keeper of such a fish it can be pretty disheartening when it dies before its time. You begin to wonder what you did wrong, what you may have done differently and if you deserve to keep a fish at all. I’ve been there, with bettas and other species of fish. All you can do it take an analytical view of your fish-keeping habits and try to puzzle out whether or not you made a key error somewhere along the line. In some cases you’ve done nothing wrong. Just like other pets, and even people, fish can suffer from congenital issues that shorten their lives. However, any time you unexpectedly lose a fish it is worth your time to take a look at things and see if you might need to change some of your practices. This article can help with that process. Here I’ve outlined some of the typical reasons betta fish die, and what you can do to avoid them. 1. Poor Water Conditions Dirty water is one of the quickest ways to doom any fish tank. And it doesn’t even have to be visibly dirty. Chemicals from decomposing fish waste and uneaten food can contaminate your tank, rendering the water toxic. Betta have a reputation for surviving in harsh environments where most fish would perish. This is because they are anabantids. They have evolved the ability to take gulps of air from above the water when the water itself is polluted and low in oxygen. Sadly, this is also what makes people think it is okay to keep bettas in bowls and tiny tanks. Sure, he’ll survive for a while. But small volumes of water pollute very quickly, and it won’t be long before he is feeling the negative effects of poor water conditions. Fin rot and other diseases may be the result, as well as a marked increase in stress that will shorten his life. Here are three things you can do to avoid this situation: Choose at least a 5-gallon tank for your betta. This not only means a better living space for your fish, but the tank will be easier to maintain. Use a filter. Yes, betta fish need filters in their tanks. Some 5-gallon tanks come with filters. Otherwise, there are nano filters out there choose from. If you go with a 10-gallon you will have many more options. Vacuum the gravel and perform regular water changes. If you suck up the debris and perform a partial water change every-other week your betta’s home will stay much cleaner. 2. Low Temperatures Some people seem to think bettas are like goldfish, and they’ll do fine in an unheated bowl or tank. This is incorrect. Goldfish require cooler water, but bettas are tropical fish. As such, they require water temperatures between 75 and 80 degrees. Cool water again means stress, illness and premature death for your betta. Even if it’s warm where you live, if the temperature drops at night it will cause the tank water to rapidly cool. So, what can you do? Choose at least a 5-gallon tank. (Yup, it’s worth mentioning twice.) Tiny volumes of water cool off very quickly. Five-gallon tanks maintain their temperature a little better, and 10-gallon tanks better still. Use a heater. Like filters, there are nano versions available for 5-gallon tanks, but more options for 10-gallon tanks. Monitor the water temperature. Don’t rely on the heater settings. A simple aquarium thermometer will tell you how warm your water is at all times. 3. Overfeeding All fish need to eat a healthy diet. This means a good-quality flake or pellet and occasional treats. But some well-meaning betta owners go overboard, adding way too much food for one fish to consume. Just like with people, when fish overeat it can lead to illness. Uneaten food can also foul the water, making it toxic for your fish. And, what goes into a fish must come out, so if you are stuffing your betta to the gills there is bound to be more waste in the tank. So, what to do? Feed your fish once per day and only as much as he will eat in a few minutes. Try to make sure as little food is wasted as possible. Consider a fasting day. Skip feeding one day per week. Clean the gravel and perform water changes. Set a regular schedule to maintain a healthy tank. This doesn’t have to be a major chore, and there are easy ways to do water changes. 4. Harassment by Tankmates Siamese fighting fish can have tankmates in certain situations. However, you need to be very careful how you go about it. Certain types of fish may provoke aggression in bettas, particularly other anabantids or fish with flowing fins they may mistake for another male betta. But there is another side to the story, one you don’t often think about until it’s too late. While bettas have a reputation for aggression and fighting, they are actually fairly small, slow-moving fish. They can be attacked and bullied by larger fish, and smaller fish may nip at their fins. This means perpetual (you guessed it) stress which inevitably leads to a premature (say it with me) death. So how do we avoid this? Have backup plan. Whenever you have your Betta in a community tank setting you need to have another setup ready to go in case of disaster. This could be something as simple as a temporary one-gallon bowl. (With the intent to upgrade him to a 5-gallon tank ASAP.) The point is to have a way to get Betta out of there if things go wrong. Never try to keep your betta fish with tankmates in a tank under 10 gallons. There simply isn’t enough room for everyone to get along. Be very selective about which tankmates you choose, and how you introduce your Betta. 5. Stress As we have seen, betta can die from poor water conditions, overfeeding, cool water temperatures and a dangerous living situation. Aside from the physical damage these issues can cause, when your fish is under constant stress he is more likely to get sick, and more likely to die. Cr. Picture from Petco store But there are other potential stressors in you tank, ones you may never have thought of. The current from the filter or bubbler may push betta around. He may see his reflection in the tank glass and think it’s another fish, and constantly be looking to fight with himself. If he has no hiding spot such as a small cave or decoration he may feel vulnerable. If some knucklehead in your household is constantly tapping on the glass it may startle him. There are a few simple things you can do here, aside from tackling the person who keeps tapping on the glass. Choose a low-flow filter that doesn’t blow him around the tank. Avoid bubblers in small tanks. Make sure he has somewhere to hide and escape from the world if he feels the need. Something as simple as a decoration or rock cave is fine. Adjust the light in the room so he doesn’t see himself. A little flaring is no big deal, but if he thinks he has to continuously defend himself it will wear him out. 6. Issues Beyond Your Control Betta fish are bred in huge numbers. They live in teeny cups for part of their lives, until you bring them home. If I’m saying a tank smaller than 5-gallons pollutes quickly, you can imagine how bad those little cups must be. It seems the deck is stacked against these poor fish from birth. You have no way of knowing if your fish is sick when you bring him home. You have no way of knowing if he has some congenital issue that he’s going to die from no matter what you do. You can take a new puppy to the vet to get him checked out for such issues, but with a tiny fish there is simply no way to know. If you feel like you’ve done everything right and your fish dies anyway, you have to go easy on yourself. Yes, it always helps to take a look at your fish-keeping practices and analyze if you could have done something differently. But, remember, it may not be your fault at all. Likewise, if you’ve done all the wrong things and your betta lived for years and years, don’t assume doing the right thing doesn’t matter. Like people, some fish can live unhealthy lives and survive into old age. And, some can live in healthy, heated, safe, happy water and die young anyway. All we can do is what we can do. The rest is luck. Saving Betta Caring for a fish properly can go a long way toward making sure he lives a long and happy life. As their stewards we owe it to them to try our best and keep their interests in mind. We have a responsibility when we take a living thing into our home and care for it. If we aren’t going to take it seriously, why even have a fish at all? Aside from practicing smart aquarium care habits, one other thing you can do is be wise where you purchase your fish. Conscientious pet stores only stock as many fish as they know they can sell in a reasonable amount of time. If you see a massive pile of betta cups filled with dazed and half-dead fish, don’t bother looking for the one healthy fish in the pile. Go somewhere else. If you’ve lost a betta it can be frustrating and heartbreaking. You may have made some errors, things you can do differently next time. Being a good betta owner doesn’t mean you are always perfect, but it does mean you do your best, and learn from your mistakes. Good luck! Reasons Betta Fish Die Summary Summary of causes of betta fish death. Poor water quality from waste and leftover food is the main cause of early betta fish deaths. Water temperatures below 24–27°C weaken betta fish’s immune system and make them more susceptible to disease. Overfeeding can cause betta fish to become sick and cause water pollution. Betta fish may be bullied by other fish, resulting in injury or starvation. Stress from strong currents, seeing their own reflection, or lack of hiding places can weaken betta fish. Some betta fish have congenital diseases or abnormalities that cannot be prevented with proper care.

    Do Betta Fish Sleep? Fish may not tuck themselves into bed at night, but betta fish sleep at one point or another. Fish that are primarily active at night sleep during the day. Fish like bettas that are mainly active during the day do most of their sleeping at night. The question still remains whether betta fish experience sleep in exactly the same way that people do. After all, they can’t close their eyes because they have no lids. So it’s not immediately apparent what they are up to. Do they fully loose consciousness like people do? Perhaps not since they are very territorial and on constant guard against interlopers, even if they are the only fish in their tanks. Still, they do appear to take time out to rest, and this is the equivalent of sleep for humans. How to Tell When Your Betta fish Sleep? Now that you know bettas actually do sleep, you may wonder how to tell when they’re doing it. You can assume a betta will take the opportunity to get some real rest anytime his environment goes dark, This typically happens when you shut off his tank light for the evening. After a short time, he’ll find a comfortable spot to rest and basically become inactive for a while until something startles him or the light returns. Siamese fighting fish sometimes take short naps during the day. If you’ve ever noticed your pet lying on the bottom of his tank doing nothing in particular, he could be asleep. In other cases, your fish may hang motionless at the top of his tank while he rests. Some people panic when they find their betta in either state because they think their pet has died, and indeed, there is not a lot of difference in the way a sleeping betta and a dead betta look. Thankfully, the fish is simply asleep in most instances. Bettas also take infrequent naps during the day. You may notice your fish resting at the base of a plant, or perhaps he’s even resting amongst the leaves. Bettas like to find a secure place to rest when they can, so they’ll scout out spots beneath or inside tank ornaments, behind filters and any place else that makes them feel safe from harm. You can create ideal sleeping spots by adding a bushy plant, either real or a soft, artificial aquarium plant, or by leaning a piece of shale against the side of the tank. Let Your Betta Fish Sleep Have His Rest It’s important for all living creatures to rest, event betta fish sleep so resist the urge to tap on your betta’s tank to check if he’s still alive when you find him lying still someplace. Chances are good he’s only sleeping, and he’ll wake up shortly and begin exploring his environment all over again Betta fish Sleep Summary Betta fish sleep, but they don’t sleep like mammals because they don’t have eyelids. Resting in bettas involves reducing movement and burning energy. They tend to rest heavily at night because they are active during the day, but they can also take short breaks during the day. Betta fish often rest on plants, decorations, or the bottom of the tank, sometimes floating still as if they are sleeping. The total rest period per day can be around 8-14 hours. Resting is usually in the form of several short naps. The lighting in the tank affects the betta’s resting cycle, so it’s best to turn off the lights at night to mimic nature. Setting a timer to keep the lights on and off helps keep the resting cycle consistent. Even while resting, bettas can still sense and respond to their surroundings. The fish’s color may dull slightly during resting to protect itself. If the fish is unusually still for a long time, it’s important to check its health. Decorating and planting the tank helps the fish feel safe and rest well. The proper water temperature enhances the fish’s resting quality. Excessive resting can be a sign of health problems or poor water quality. Maintaining a consistent light cycle helps keep bettas healthy. Adequate rest helps restore their immune system and reduces stress. Therefore, keepers should always observe their behavior and create an environment suitable for their bettas to rest.

    Betta with Severely Swollen Abdomen Betta with Severely Swollen Abdomen. We saw many fish from online sale by the recommendation of a few people. Our siamese fighting fish never seems to be having a pseudo-unique health problem. But some from local shop seems constipated but really grossly, but he swims as energetically as always and his appetite hasn’t waned in the slightest. He is however, grotesquely swollen. For the past week, I’ve reduced his regular diet and given him greens like bits of green pea. He is defecating normally. His fins aren’t protruding like with dropsy. I’ve attached a few pictures of him. Keep in mind, he is still swelling. Any help or advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time. Swollen abdomen Thanks for writing in and providing those images. Though they are difficult to look at, they do illustrate, quite clearly, the severity of the situation. Dropsy is often characterized by full body swelling with protruding scales but very often it will materialize as an immensely bloated abdomen. I’m not certain why in some betta fish, the swelling is spread and in others it is centralized but fish hobbyists consider both to be Dropsy. I suspect the difference has to do with regulating osmotic pressure but I will have to do further research to see if there are theories. The swelling you are seeing is not caused by a solid blockage (food) but rather a fluid build up caused when the internal organs begin to fail. Sadly, the survival rate in tropical fish is quite low and even more so when it gets to this level. To make your Betta fish more comfortable, I suggest either an epsom salt dip (1/2 tsp / gal for 15 minutes in a separate container) or you can add 1/8 tsp per 5 gal of epsom salt to his tank directly. Epsom salts are traditionally used to regulate the osmotic pressure and to relieve some of the swelling but some folks us aquarium salt instead at a dose of 1/2 tsp per gallon for a 15 min dip or a 1/2 tsp per 5 gal directly into the tank. (Don’t use aquarium salt in your tank if you have live plants). Just as a side note, salt does not evaporate. If you are adding it directly to the tank for the first time, it will remain after a water change. Don’t redose the entire aquarium with salt again and again so that it accumulates. Instead, treat just the new water. While your fish is sick, it’s important to keep his water clean and free from toxins. Frequent water changes are helpful. It’s important to understand epsom or aquarium salt isn’t a cure. It’s just intended to help bring some of the swelling down. Unfortunately, there is no cure for Dropsy. I wish there was more I could offer. I hope he continues to feel good as long as possible. Please let me know how he progresses. Betta fish Swollen abdomen Summary Betta fish exhibiting a severely swollen abdomen may be suffering from Dropsy, a condition characterized by fluid accumulation due to organ failure. This swelling often appears as a bloated abdomen rather than the more typical full-body edema with protruding scales. While salt treatments like Epsom salt dips or aquarium salt additions may alleviate symptoms temporarily, they do not cure the underlying organ failure. Unfortunately, the prognosis is generally poor once the disease reaches this advanced stage. Maintaining optimal water quality and avoiding overfeeding can help prevent such health issues in Betta fish.

    Another Way To Flush A Tank Another way to flush a tank for betta fish aquarium simple and safe for fish. The first water change: Flush bettta fish aquarium by step Remove 1/2 of the water in the tank. Treat enough water to replace the full volume of the tank with conditioner, but only add about 25% of the new water in. (So that the tank is now 3/4 of the way filled). Wait 15 to 30 minutes, then fill the tank the rest of the way. Taking the first water change slow will keep the fish from being stressed as they slowly adjust to the new water. The second water change: for Siamese fighting fish Right after you refill the tank, remove half the water again. There’s no need to fill it up in two steps this time, as the fish are already used to the large water changes. After the second 50% water change, wait no more than 60 minutes, then conduct 2-3 more 50% water changes. To put this into perspective, say you are flushing out a 20 gallon tank. First, you would remove 10 gallons but only replace 5 gallons. Wait 15-30 minutes before you top it off with the other 5 gallons. Then, immediately remove and replace 10 more gallons. Repeat this step after an hour or so, two or three more times. When you are done, almost all of the old water will be removed from the tank, leaving fresh clean water. Make sure you don’t TOUCH your filter media through this process. This will keep your beneficial bacteria colony intact, so they can remove the left over ammonia. Tank flushes can be preformed on a regular basis, preventing a buildup of old and depleted water. Some people conduct them every 6 months, while others do them monthly. I find that tank flushes are great if you aren’t sure exactly what the problem is, but you know there is something affecting the fish. I had a goldfish with a strange red mark on his side, and a platy (in another tank, of course) who suddenly started clamping his fins. Flush A Tank Summary Nice Betta Thailand recommends how to clean a fish tank for fighting fish, starting with preparing equipment and washing hands thoroughly. Then, drain some of the water and clean the fish tank, equipment, and gravel with warm water without using chemicals. Then, add conditioned water to the tank and adjust the temperature to be suitable before putting the fish back in the tank when everything is ready to keep the fighting fish healthy in the right environment.

    5 steps for keeping the betta environment healthy Keeping the betta environment healthy Getting off to a good start with a healthy tank now means you have to keep it that way. Each day you should check the filter of the tank and change it if necessary. Monitor the temperature on a daily basis. If you’re housing your betta in a water container that holds less than 2 gallons of water the water should be changed every week. Larger sized aquariums will need anywhere from 10-25% of the water changed every 2 weeks on average. If the water quality is becoming poor then it will need to be changed more frequently. You need to make sure the water is safe for your fish when adding water or doing water change. It’s important to neutralize chlorine, chloramine and heavy metals and also reduce nitrate toxicity by adding the correct water conditioner to suit your betta. This will also protect scales and fins. Where should I keep my Betta? The smallest size aquarium you should use for your betta fish is a ¼+ gallon tank. You’ll need to keep the water temperature between 72-82 degrees. This type of fish doesn’t like a lot of water current, so make sure very little, if any, exists. You should have a slightly different environment for male betta fish compared to the female. It’s a must that your keep your males separated in individual tanks that contain no less than 1 litre of water. You can put your male bettas in with other types fish that are not known to be aggressive. Use caution when mixing your betta in with other fish. They can become aggressive with other fish, eg guppies. The female bettas will live quite nicely together in 1 tank or along with other types of aquarium fish. The stability of the water is really important. For around $20 you can purchase water testing kits to ensure the proper PH of the water is maintained. How often and how much should I feed my fish? Knowing how to take care of betta fish includes the proper diet for them. By watching him, find out how much your betta can consume in a 3 to 5 minute period of time. Feed this amount 3 times a week. If you’re buying frozen betta food make sure you thaw it first before feeding it to your fish. The characteristics of your betta Knowing how your siamese fighting fish normally acts when happy and healthy helps you quickly recognize if the fish is getting sick. A healthy betta usually breathes from the surface of the water. If they are upset or feel threatened they’ll flare their fins. Male bettas are notorious for attacking other male bettas and they’ll even go after other aquarium fish that have flowing fins. Signs your betta is sick Your male betta should have vibrant colors. Either gender should appear to be active and alert and take their food readily. You can prevent health problems for your betta by not overcrowding the tank which contains the females. The sick betta may show some physical signs that something is wrong. Their color may fade. You might see a fungus developing on the mouth or body. Overall the fish may appear listless or is showing signs of labored breathing. Some common ailments that can affect your betta is fin rot or ich. The procedure for taking care of betta fish is really quite simple, but they do demand some commitment. Setting up a routine for the care of your fish will help prevent a lot of potential problems, cut down on the maintenance requirements and bring you a lot of enjoyment. Keeping your betta fish environment healthy Don’t be tempted to buy more male bettas than you can provide individual living environments for Don’t get into the habit of aggravating your male betta just so you can see him flare his fins. This is only going to create stress for the fish and could threaten his health. Betta environment healthy Summary Maintaining a betta environment healthy for your betta fish can be done with 5 main steps: regular water changes to maintain water quality, feeding the right food with high protein, using the right water filters to maintain water quality and reduce stress, providing proper lighting to promote the fish’s sleep cycle, and maintaining the cleanliness and placement of aquatic plants in the aquarium to provide the fish with hiding places and reduce stress.

    Betta Fish Feeding Instructions The time for Betta Fish Feeding Instructions. siamese fighting fish are carnivorous animals. In the wild they hunt insects, larvae and insect eggs from the water’s surface. So this means that your betta should be eating a meat / protein based fish food. Be careful, some of the standard tropical fish flakes do not match the betta fish diet. If your betta shares a tank with other fish you will have to take into account the diet of all the fish. What do betta fish eat? What is the best food for betta fish? It seems like obvious advice but a betta fish specific pellet is usually the best. To make sure the fish food you have meets the carnivorous betta fish’s needs check the ingredients. The first few ingredients should be meat based and overall protein percentage should be 40% or more. You can also treat your betta fish with freeze dried / frozen blood worms. However it is important not to over-treat! Once a week should help avoid any bloating. Betta fish are surface feeders, check that the pellets you buy are for bottom / mid tank feeders as these pellets will sink. This still doesn’t stop most betta fish though, they will catch the pellets on the way down – but it would be beneficial to have a floating pellet or flake. How often do you feed a betta fish? You should feed a betta fish two small feeds per day. Feeding them once in the morning and once at night every day is great. Making these feeds around 12 hours apart and at the same time every day will help you and your betta get in a routine. Some owners opt to fast their betta fish for 24 hours once every 10-14 days. This day of fasting helps reduce the chance of constipation. How much should you feed your betta fish? 2-3 medium sized pellets in the morning and 2-3 pellets at night should be sufficient. Be careful of overfeeding! This is a very common mistake which can lead to bloating which can then lead to serious health problems for your betta fish. Keep in mind a betta fish’s stomach is not much larger than its eye – so it’s very easy to overfeed. Don’t be tricked into your betta’s large appetite, sometimes they would eat the whole pack if you tipped it in. They may look like they are hungry for more but it is important not to overfeed them. Putting too much food in your tank has other negative effects as wasted food that is not cleaned up pollutes the water and makes your tank dirty. It’s basic Betta Fish Feeding Instructions What’s your betta fish’s favorite food? Leave us a comment below… Betta Fish Feeding Instructions Summary Nice Betta Thailand recommends the correct way to feed fighting fish for their good health. Fighting fish are carnivores. They should be fed with high-protein food, such as food pellets specifically for fighting fish that contain at least 40% protein. They can be supplemented with dried or frozen blood, but they should not be fed too often to prevent bloating. Fighting fish should be fed twice a day, with a gap of about 12 hours. The ideal amount is 2-3 medium-sized pellets per meal. Overfeeding can make the fish fat and dirty the water in the tank. Some owners may choose to fast their fighting fish for 24 hours every 10-14 days to prevent constipation. Fighting fish are fish that eat food on the surface. Choose food pellets that float easily so that the fish can eat easily. Providing the right amount of food and not too much will help your fighting fish be healthy and live a long life.

    HOW TO TREAT FISH SUFFERING FROM CHLORINE POISON Chlorine poison in water causes a condition known as acute necrosis in fish. Chlorine kills living cells, most often damaging fish’s sensitive gills as well as the skin that covers their entire bodies. Betta fish placed in chlorinated water will begin to suffer from respiratory problems and may suffocate, unable to breathe properly. Identifying Chlorine-Poisoned Fish Fish suffering from chlorine poisoning may appear pale, may look as if they are covered in mucus and may develop red areas on their bodies. Affected fish may swim erratically or hover near the top of the water, struggling to breathe. Treatment of Water and Fish You need to remove your fish from the tank immediately if you suspect your fish are suffering from chlorine poisoning. Set up a second completely clean and fully functional aquarium. Fill the new tank with water that does not contain chlorine. Ideally you should use treated tap water, reverse-osmosis or distilled water. If you use reverse-osmosis or distilled water, you will have to add mineral and nutrient supplements to the water if you want your fish and plants to survive in it long-term; pure water has had almost all nutrients removed from it and therefore does not provide your fish with everything they need to survive. The most important thing is to get your fish out of the chlorinated water as quickly as possible. Use a fish net to scoop each fish out of the toxic water and to gently place them into the new tank. No known medical treatment can repair the damage done by chlorine; you must separate the fish from the source of toxicity and give the fish time to heal, if they are able to do so. Fish who have been in chlorine water for long periods of time almost always wind up dying as a result of the damage the chlorine does to their gills. Preventing Chlorine Poisoning Never use tap water in your fish tank without first treating the water with chemicals that neutralize the chlorine in the water, or by boiling it or aerating it with plenty of oxygen. If you use a chlorine-based product such as bleach to clean and disinfect anything you use in your fish tank, you need to make sure you thoroughly rinse those objects in clean water to prevent introducing chlorine into your tank. Also, make sure to buy aquarium test strips that allow you to test your tank for chlorine. Regular chlorine testing will help you identify problems in your tank. If your tank has too much chlorine in it, you will need to completely empty the tank and perform a full cleaning on it before you refill it with properly treated water. Be sure to rinse all tank accessories and equipment thoroughly before returning them to the tank. What is Chlorine? Chlorine is a chemical element with the symbol Cl and atomic number 17 in the periodic table. It is a member of the halogen family and occurs both naturally and in compounds that are extremely dangerous to all types of fish. Chlorine Poison Summary Betta Fish that are poisoned by chlorine will have difficulty breathing, their cheek pouches will open and close quickly, and may die if not treated in time. The main cause is from tap water that has high chlorine or from changing the water incorrectly. The treatment method is to move the fish to clean water that is free of chlorine immediately. You may add a dechlorinator or scoop the water and leave it for 1-2 days before using to allow the chlorine to evaporate. Prevent this problem by checking the water before use or choosing a quality water filter system.

    Expert Reviewed How to Grow a Bond With Your Betta Fish Choosing and Caring for Your Betta Let’s reviewed how to grow a bond with your betta fish Select a healthy betta. With proper care, betta fish regularly live for two-to-four years, and can occasionally reach ten years. Choosing a healthy fish and giving it proper care are your best chance for a lasting relationship. Most pet stores carry far more male than female bettas, because the former are more colorful and have larger fins. Whether you choose a male or female, look for a fish with a bright (not dull) color palate and healthy-looking, undamaged fins. You might assume you should select an active, excited fish as opposed to a more mellow one, but behavior in the pet store is not necessarily a harbinger of the betta’s personality. It may be worn out after a day of people tapping on the glass, after all. These and other selection tips, along with much more information on betta care, are provided in detail at How to Take Care of a Betta Fish. Provide a proper home. You may have seen a betta in someone’s home or office swimming around in a vase or even a drinking glass. Because bettas often prefer to live alone, many people mistakenly assume that they don’t need or want much water to call home. You may hear people say that bettas like small spaces because their natural habitat is small puddles left by buffalo tracks in their native Southeast Asia. While bettas are sometimes found in such cozy bodies of water, this is more a testament to their resiliency during the dry season than an indication of their preferred lifestyle. In reality, bettas like quite a bit of space to roam, so you should select a tank that holds at least three gallons, and even up to ten. This may seem like a lot of tank for one small fish, but you’re more likely to have a happy and healthy betta this way. The tank should also be heated to between 76° and 80° F, and have a simple filter that does not churn up the water too much (bettas prefer still water). Keep the tank clean and change the water on a regular schedule. For more on tank preparation and maintenance, see How to Take Care Betta Fish. Expect a loner. While some bettas don’t mind sharing a tank, many, especially males, become anxious, agitated, and aggressive when faced with other fish invading their space. While they have earned the name “fighting fish,” betta males are more interested in establishing dominance than harming each other. But injuries and general unpleasantness do often occur when two or more males, or really just a male betta and any other fish, are put in a tank together. So it is best to assume that your male betta will live alone. A pair of female bettas will also not likely get along, but a larger group, up to around ten, can do well together. (This is called a “sorority” of bettas.) So allow your female to either swim solo or in a herd. Feed it properly. Betta fish generally do best with a fairly specific diet, consisting of three main foods: betta fish pellets, bloodworms, and baby brine shrimp (the latter two usually in freeze-dried form). Two feedings of three-to-four pellets (broken up if your fish is small) or six-to-seven bloodworms / shrimp should suffice. Bettas will overeat if given the chance, to the detriment of their health. They can also suffer from constipation (indicated by bloating), which some say can be alleviated by feeding the betta a single thawed, cut-up frozen pea.

Bettas are also known as Siamese fighting fish because they hail from Southeast Asia and males in particular are known to act aggressively towards each other. Bettas are adaptable survivors. They populate the rice paddies of Southeast Asia and readily adjust to the cycles of floods and droughts. Bettas are also one of the rare examples of a “labyrinth fish,” which means they can breathe oxygen from the air as well as from water. Thus, as long as they remain moist, they can survive out of water for short periods of time, and can live in small, brackish ponds (as are found during the dry season) for longer periods. Bonding With Your Betta Keep it in an active area. Bettas usually like to live alone, yet they also grow bored easily and much prefer to be near “where the action is” while retaining their own defined “turf.” Place your betta’s tank in a high-traffic, regularly-occupied part of the house, such as in the living room or near the kitchen. Bettas like movement and action, even when they are not being directly interacted with. Relocate the tank within the room occasionally, to provide the betta with a change of scenery. New things to see will attract his attention and keep him engaged and interested in your goings-on. 2. Name your betta, and talk to it. It’s hard to develop a bond with a nameless creature of any type, so find a name that suits your new little pal’s personality. Like the lists of baby names that populate the internet, you can also find suggestions for betta names if you need some help. Bettas are sensitive to the vibrations in water caused by sounds such as human voices, which some take as meaning your fish can learn to recognize your voice and its name. See if you can trigger a regular response by saying your betta’s name each time you visit. At very least, talking to your betta provides opportunities for interaction, which it craves, and helps establish the bond on your end. After all, who doesn’t want a good listener for a friend? 3. Give it visual stimulation. Relocating the tank, as noted, is one way to change up the scenery, but even just looking at your fish regularly gives it something new to focus on and eventually recognize. Male bettas are famous for “flaring” their fins — their response to encountering another betta — when seeing their reflection in a mirror. There is debate as to whether frequent “mirror flaring” is good (as stimulation) or bad (as stress) for your betta, so perhaps employ it in moderation or to stay safe don’t use a mirror. Keep in mind that some bettas can be timid and may be frightened at their own reflection. In addition to the occasional mirror (if desired), you can also doodle on the tank with dry erase markers or apply sticky notes cut into different shapes, or just simply place new and interesting objects just outside the tank. Watch your betta investigate and react to these new phenomena. 4. Play with your betta. While tapping a fish tank is a natural human reaction, some experts say to avoid this because it can cause an unhealthy shock to your unprepared betta. Rather, trace your finger along the glass and watch for the fish to react. Your betta will probably start coming over to your finger, and even following it as it slides along the tank wall. You might be able to get your fish to twist and loop in its pursuit. Bettas like coming to the surface, so bobbing toys and other objects can be a good idea for playtime as well. Floating ping-pong balls can be very fun — just make sure they’re clean first. Check out How to Play with Your Betta Fish for plenty more playtime ideas. 5. Train your betta. As with most animals, including people for that matter, the promise of a food treat can be powerful motivation for your betta to train. With some patience and practice, your fishy friend can learn some fun tricks. You can teach your betta to eat from your fingers by placing your digits increasingly closer to the food pellets you place in the water, until the fish takes the food right from them. Your betta may even be able to leap out of the water to take food from your fingers.[10] The lure of food can also teach bettas to swim, or sometimes even leap, through hoops (which you can fashion out of pipe cleaners, for instance). You might also, with practice, be able to teach your fish to push that ping-pong ball it plays with into a net. How to Play with Your Betta Fish is also a good resource for training ideas and methods. 6. Be a friend. The best way to bond with a betta is to treat it like any other true friend. Visit when one or both of you is happy or sad, stressed out or flying high, healthy or sick. Growing a bond with any type of creature takes effort, patience, openness, and care. How to Grow a Bond With Your Betta Fish Bonding with a betta fish is not difficult if it starts with care and consistency. Owners should name the fish and talk to them often to get used to them, as fish can recognize their voices and respond to their owners. Feeding them twice a day in the right amount will help keep them healthy and associate their owners’ presence with good things. Place the tank in an area where people walk by to get the fish used to the movement around them, including changing the tank occasionally to stimulate learning. Owners can play with the fish by tapping their fingers on the glass to make them swim along, or add floating toys to keep the fish active. Training the fish with treats, such as jumping through hoops or eating from your hand, helps to build a positive relationship. The most important thing is patience and care. Caring for and communicating with the fish with love consistently will make the fish become a pet that is truly trustworthy and attached to its owner.
