Water problem betta fish

Frequent water changes will help keep your betta fish happy and healthy. Trying to 1 water change program and always follow it. The mark on the calendar will help you more easily manage if you have a lot of lakes. 

Keep in mind that aquarium or decorations should never be washed with soap or other chemical detergents as it can poison your fish. Never spray cleaning chemicals outside of the aquarium, because it can fall back into the lake. 

A useful method to keep all swimming between water changes is not to free oil tank. This is one great tool to suck dirt, food scraps and other waste at the bottom of the lake. Always clean lake with hot water at the end and before the multi-functional use of the lake.

Water temperature in the process: In the process of water necessary to maintain the temperature of the water, similar to, if not entirely accurate, the temperature of the water before replacing. The difference is too large to change the water temperature will cause stress to the fish. One very important thing to remember, is that if the transfer of betta fish from the lake where else to clean the lake, the temperature in the container with the temperature in the tank to be the same. 

Before cleaning the aquarium, it is important to have clean water prepared and ready to perform. If your fish live in the vial was heated at room temperature, to reservoirs few hours or overnight to the same temperature. Always remember to water for cleaning your fish tank before!

If your betta fish live in the bottle is heated, it is still important for you to maintain the water temperature as the temperature before you put the betta fish in the lake. If the pH and other chemical detergents stable right from the tap, you can regulate the respective countries, check with a thermometer, add detergent and you should be set up to take your fish back. If you need to water enough time overnight to stabilize the pH and other factors, some hot water dechlorination in the microwave and mixed with water at room temperature to reach the appropriate temperature .

With a capacity of 1 gallon: For the size of this type of barrel it is advised to perform 100% water change once a week 1. However, the best way to create one full water change schedule is to monitor the parameters of the water. Especially ammonia. It should be noted on the health of the betta is to prevent ammonia in the tank when done. If you find any ammonia it is time to change the water one part or completely. You will want to reach the point where you can avoid ammonia when practiced by changing the water one day before finding toxin. Ammonia level should always be at 0 ppm.

With a volume of more than 2 gallon: For any tank with a capacity greater than 1 gallon, such as 2 gallon tank, you can still leave it 2 weeks before the water change completely with 1 times or between 2 times water changes. Sure, water monitoring decisions to schedule toilet tank. Leftovers and garbage will be cleaned in one clock faster.

With a capacity of less than 1 gallon: With less than one gallon capacity, such as 1/2 gallon water changes will absolutely need to do 3 days. For this application, the most important is to check level acmmonia. Partial water changes every day is a great idea. If you sound too heavy, a large lake, such as one gallon would be better for you. Your fish will thank you very much if you let it live in the lake.

Tank with filter: If you have a water filter (with filter), just replace one part of the country only. If you have this application, you should try not to be one of ammonia or nitrate. Nitrate levels at 20 ppm, as small as possible.

How to clean lake (no filter): Sanitation involves transfer of fish from lake and put it in a special container with a cover, the plants and decorations ... Ensure that good hygiene lakes and sure there are no sharp objects in the tank. Never use soap or chemicals to cleanse the animals are exposed to the betta. Sanitary hot water is the way to the lake, substrate, decorations, etc..

There are two ways to transfer fish from the lake. The first way is to use the courts, fishing out gently, and then (using your hands up on the lid courts to avoid the fish jump out), carefully placed into the special one which contains enough water. Make sure that the container must be clean cover. When you have finished cleaning lake, you can take the fish back to the lake and brought back to the location of the lake.

Another method quick, harmless and reduce stress to the fish rather than the courts. In this method need 1 cup, such as the glass used, and wait for your fish to near the top of the water. When the fish were in the proper position, put the cup in the water next to the fish. This will create one vacuum and suck both water and fish in the cup. This is a place that holds fast when your toilet tank. After you have finished cleaning, pour fish back to the lake, you have to hand over the mouth of the cup and ensure fish do not jump out. First you have to be very quick, but many times you practice this method may be easier. If necessary, you can lure the fish to the 1 circular Department (probably to fish food thought), but the last time it is not necessary anymore.

Toilet tank (tank with filtration system): Once you have a filter in the tank, your job will become much easier, so just replace the part. Best replace the water is about 20 - 25%, which reduces the amount of nitrate. You always have to keep nitrate levels below 20ppm, as small as possible. When you change the water part, this is a good thing to stabilize nitrate levels as above.

How to care for betta fry

For many people breeding Betta, besides his own for one pair (or one line) like the are breeding them it is what it is. But most of all have a problem when fish spawn ... that is after the eggs hatch, the fish disappear or grow up to be ugly fish, not value of the rear left ... '

Well!!! There are a lot of books, documents and web guide for taking care of Betta fish hatch eggs but do not focus on the fish until stiff, become a paying adult Betta with graceful fins.

After anchovies pressure off, eggs are sprayed onto the nest, see one corner females and flat belly flat, the time that should remove the roof. When the fry hatch, about 3-4 days, you should remove them blank (if you do not want to fry fish prey to empty).

In the first few days, I can only eat fish species of layers identical mao (grass). You should fry as fish swam across. Note to cover the lake, just leave a few small holes for breathing (due to dirt, mosquitoes to lay eggs) it is not good for your fish.

When the fry are a week old, you should feed them atemia (saltwater shrimp larvae). Only after the first few times out, it will show them to swallow food quickly. When the fish were eating, the stomach will get fat and pink, this means your fish are large. At first you should feed them one at a later adds up.

About 2 weeks you should start the piece ties swimming slowly to ventilation and to observe, not began to cover them too fast or too wide. This makes the strong water flow (wind), not good for fish.

When the fish is 4 ~ 5 weeks of age, you can fish out of a lake. A volume of about 4 ~ 5 liters can be as long as 25 Betta, this helps your fish quickly grow.

When the fish is 2.5 ~ 3 months, the males can not live with such a lake many fish as it may affect their tails and fins.

At this point you should prepare the plastic pot to split the flock. You can own separate drum, when the drum is put the jar, they will own rapid development one particular way.

Note: How to differentiate male and female fish to separate the herd:

1. The first sign is the color becomes darker anchovies, or spread to other threatened fish fin.
2. Our anal more tapered in the back and longer than the female's fin.
3. Ventral to and thicker.

Should instead water in jars feed 4 days one time (if possible), or 1 week 1 time, smoke residue in the pot regularly to keep your fish healthy. And your culture containers must be clean in order to maintain the health of fish.

Wish you success!!!

Crowntail betta fish

Many farmers often wonder about the origin of a tail, but not any type caused much excitement as fish Crowntail (crowntail). It's hard to believe that fish crowntails was created (and still create) through the process of selective breeding characteristics rays extended. In a group of normal individuals, you often see a number of individual rays extended, especially females, even so very hard to distinguish with Crowntail at ease if only based on the jagged rays . This unusual characteristics can be captured and exploited by breeders who actively develop bettas aliasing into super special fish: fish crowntails.

 

To illustrate the process of development from serrated tail betta fish Crowntail quality, the breeder crowntails as Phil Lane has presented a series of images of the strain his Crowntail Mustard Gas on forum Betta Club Singapore. The first is single a Mustard Gas males tail with long rays. Very aware that fish is very nice though but the fan-tail-secondary rays than a halfmoon-ray multi-level. Fish with serrated tail and neat are used to breed the next generation, the to fish crowntails - double beam.

 

 

A hybrid females from the same spawn brought with it (the is also serrated tail) to create countless offspring serrated longer.

 

 

Selective breeding to the fourth and fifth generation create fish crowntails "real" first even though they still need to be further improved. Now strain Crowntail formed, breeders began to focus on the shape and proportions of the fins.

 

 

The next generation of significant progress, not only in the rays, but also in the shape of the fish. Rays sticking out very well and although still needs to be improved, it was so much nicer than the first fish brought hybridization.

 

February 2005 - nearly two years since Phil started breeding its DT Moustard Gas line - he brought the fish exhibition. At that time, the line quality is not good but it is characterized by "full mask" unique.

 

 

In June 2005, the breeding success of the most beautiful big fish released from this line (below) won the Reserve Champion at Aquarama 2005 Exhibition in Singapore.

 

 

It really is a fish crowntails - two double rays (DDR) with webbing withdrawal and 33% rays, an ideal ratio in line. Fish Crowntail - double beam usually webbing withdrawal and 50% rays but both double beam, this ratio can make the tail look uneven and "limp". People can easily found a combination of good genes in this fish for spreading tail semicircle (halfmoon) is balanced.

 

I hope that in the near future, we will see several more rare fish Crowntail appear, such as melano crowntails and orange Crowntail! With determination and patience breeders who desire to bring new things, all things are possible: based on the "label" with many years of hard labor and seriously!
