Betta channoides


Betta channoides, the snakehead betta. A mouthbrooding betta.
Very delicate. 
In first one is a female, a normal one maybe. The second one is the male, a very large one at that.Also hoping them to breed. I place them in a planted tank and feeding it with grindal worm for weeks now. It absolutely refuse pellet. I have to train to eat pellet as grindal worm as singular food for betta is not very good. The food has to be diverse so their diet can be balance. The new male only gotten today so will try coerce it to eat first.

Betta Bellica - A New Beginning



After a few of business, I finally started to have time to purchase some new wild betta. Well maybe its not wild but the term i for no is wild betta. After a few trial with betta bellica, the slender betta. After getting my third pair after the first two died, i tried my luck with a third one. The third one is different in temperament compared to the first two. The first two has no problem in one tank. For the third one the male is very very aggressive to the point the female once jump and stuck at the side glass. After that i separate the male for a while and try again. After a few weeks, the aggression has worsened (At least it did not chase the female every time it sees it). Some breeders say they are easy comparable to show betta. Some say it is very hard due to the male aggression. Well I hope mine is willful enough to breed.
