There used to be wood and sticks and other cool stuff to look at at some point, but now it's all just palm leaves I guess. Not having an actual aquascape to maintain is kinda liberating tbh, as sad as it was covering it at first 😅

The fish certainly love it! And that's always the priority anyway. ❤️

She wasn't bloated after all! What happened next?

He was hiding and I only saw the female but now he has come out a little into the main part of the tank?I can’t imagine he is because I just got him.

I have already reduced food. She's been like this for a few days now.

I got him yesterday. I have never kept a wild betta before. He caught my eye (tho expensive). I came to know that this is a betta mahachaiensis. Is this right? I would appreciate if I can get some advice on keeping this species thriving. And the shopkeeper told me the colour enhances if fed live food. Please give some insights on that as well. Thank you.

My Betta channoides pair spawned last night, but I'm pretty sure the male ate some eggs because his belly was larger. This is my first time breeding mouth brooding bettas, so I'm not so sure if the male is holding the eggs or not. The mouth is a bit more square than before though.

Sorry for the photo quality, he's much more paranoid and shy now than yesterday, so i can't take a good picture of him.

So the mystery fry are indeed betta coccina! And there's several spawns of different ages all over the tank. Saw one that even resembled an actual small fish the other day while doing some light maintenance!

Tearing the tank down will be a slow and careful nerve-racking experience. 😀🔥

Big dummy sat there with a worm on his head for a solid minute until one of his tank mates ate it off his head.

So I work at a fish store and ive been looking for a imbellis for a long time with no success I ordered a pair but the seller wasnt shipping them and eventually i just got a refund i got thd money yesterday amd go to work and there in one of the tanks was this little gem. So anyway I bought him immediately... if he isnt one its fine I dont mind I still love the thing but I wanted to know if it was indeed a wild type imbellis? Or if it was a hybrid or a morph of splenden. The color matches and the fin rays match aswell though from every picture ive seen the anal fin has blue lines and a red tip whereas he has red qith a lil blue at the base though it might be because hes not colored up fully. Anyways I need a second opinion. Thoughts?
