My parents bougth a fighting fish or Betta back yesterday from Sunday Market. According to my mom, my dad kept saying that the fish is nice. This is the latest addition in our family hahah… Don’t know how long will it last? Usually the fish we bought will not live long because we don’t really follow those rules.
After so many attempts, finally got this nice shoot. Good thing this fish didn’t move much. Last time when I took pictures of my mom’s goldfish, I had to use flash and I’m sure the flash really scared them, that’s for sure! 😛 Also I think the AiAF light might have scare those fish too hehehe… Whenever I point my camera to them, they will avoid the camera. I guess one of the reasons is that I had scared them to death *LOL*
cool fish! now put another one in & watch the show!
Eeee… Cannot cannot.. very cruel. Last time my cousin took his Betta to fight with ours -_-” Very bad.
today saw ur fish liao…
suddenly buy… =_=””
Heheh… You saw it? 😛 Thought you didn’t notice it coz it’s so small.
Easy to care for bettas. Tips:
1. Change ALL of the water every week. Use anti-chlorine, but follow instructions. Never overdose.
2. Bettas require special food. They’re carnivorous, which requires all-meat diet. Buy the ones specifically made for them. Golden Fish sells good ones at RM5 each in small transparent bottles filled with red pellets.
3. Bettas are very susceptible to fin rot, which I see your little fella has got… (look at its tail, it’s zig zag, appears torn and not full) caused by stress and bad water condition. If the case is mild and just starting, change water 100% every day for a week. You should see some improvement. If it doesn’t, let me know because I have fin rot medication.
Oh and I forgot, pick a day and don’t feed them then. Bettas get bloated easily too. That day will be used for them to clear out their stomach.
And every time you feed them, don’t feed too much. Less than 10 pellets is ideal.
Thanks. No wonder that day saw the fin like that, then today it’s getting worst as if got hurt after fight. 🙂
Fight?! Where did he fight? Don’t tell me you still betta-fight.
No fight. Hahaha… I mean “as if” after got into fighting. 😛
