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!
