Betta Fish

Betta Variety's & keeping Instructions.

I don't claim to be a master in rearing betta fish. All I've done is assembled data I've
investigated with respect to the rearing of these wonderful fish. In my exploration, there have beentruly interesting things that I've found about how to breed betta fish. For a begin, you need a female betta fish. These are beautiful hard to obtain. Most petstores just stock the more showy male bettas. In any case, in the event that you inquiry hard enough on the net, or ask your nearby petstore pleasantly, they will presumably be pointed in the right course. Female betta fish are really dull contrasted with their male partners. Some are really beautiful yet their balances are typically a considerable measure shorter than the guys. It is additionally conceivable to keep female betta angle together in an aquarium though you can't do that with guys (actually, you shouldn't keep the female betta with the male either - or anything that even looks remotely like a male betta eg fantail guppies - they will be assaulted).

Bettas may oblige a warmer in some cases––for illustration, in the event that you live in a cool nation or on the off chance that you have an aquarium beneath room temperature, then a radiator is needed. Small scale warmers are accessible for Betta tanks between 1-3 gallons. Amid the winter, you may need to include a scaled down radiator or spot your aquarium near a radiator (1 meter away), to keep your Betta from getting to be excessively frosty.

Channels are constantly essential however verify the current is not very solid for your Betta. Remember that the since a long time ago finned mixed bags do best with as meager present as could be allowed. A few masters prescribe the utilization of wipe channels, to secure the balances.

Dodge rough shakes or enrichments. Such adornments can without much of a stretch tear Betta balances. It's proposed that you check once a day that there are no tears in the Betta's blades. On the off chance that there are tears, first check the water quality, as tears are ordinarily brought about by poor water upkeep.

Abstain from including any hard plastic plants. Once more, these can be harsh on the balances. Utilize the 'pantyhose test': If a plastic plant will catch a couple of pantyhose when rubbed against it, then it will harm your Betta's blades. Be sheltered and purchase silk plants.

In case you're considering including tank-mates, do your exploration.
prefer being alone and may kill other fish and even snails if added to the tank. Some people believe that Betta fish are good with tank-mates such as snails, ghost or cherry shrimp and neon tetras, and consider that as long as the fish sharing the tank is not bigger, more colorful or fin nipping, it should be okay. That said, some of the more aggressive Betta fish simply prefer to be alone and will attack even a snail. Before adding any sort of tank-mate, do thorough research by asking questions of the retailer, reading in books about Betta fish or checking online sites dedicated to Betta fish (ask other Betta owners in the forums). If in doubt, leave the tank-mate out.

Male Betta fish cannot live with other male Betta fish. They are named Siamese fighting fish for a reason! In an aquarium setting, they will fight to the death in order to protect their living space, regardless of the size of the tank. If your tank does not have a partition, do not risk losing one or both of your Betta fish by allowing them to live together.

Keep female Betta fish either singly or in groups of at least five, to lessen any aggression. The tank must be at least 10 gallons and have several hiding spots if keeping multiple females. All females must be added at the same time. Don't place only two female Betta fish in your tank. They establish a "pecking order" and having only two female fish means that the less dominant one gets picked on exclusively.

Female Betta fish will fight males and vice versa. Don't put them in together. Read up on breeding them if you think you want to try it, but remember that breeding bettas is a huge commitment, and not something to be taken lightly.


Putting a mirror up to the side of the tank can cause a Betta to flare because he/she thinks that there is a rival in his/her territory. This can stress out the fish, so avoid mirrors.

A few things that it's nice to know about Betta fish.

Betta fish are members of the Anabantoid family (gouramis are also in this family). They have a back-up breathing system that allows them to breathe surface air, however, they still require a filtration system in their tanks.
Female Betta fish are typically smaller than male Betta fish. They lack the beautiful finnage that males possess. However, they can still be equally as beautiful in their own way—–and feisty! Don't keep them together though, as the female may latch onto the male's vivid fins, causing them to tear.
Male Betta fish build bubble nests when happy!

If a male likes a female, he flares his gills, twists his body, and spreads his fins. If a female likes a male, she wriggles back and front.
