The male betta channoides, or mr betta as my little girl calls him, was posing today.
I have had all sorts of problems with the betta splendens. The giant male never fed well after he arrived and died about 10 days later showing no sign of illness. I have lost 4 females to dropsy in the big 190l tank. Parameters seem fine, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate all zero. Crystal shrimp breeding and fat little ottos. Apparently b. Splendens are extremely inbred so prone to bacterial infections. The remaining girls may end up back under the stairs in a bare bottom tank too. All of the b. Splendens have been treated with fluke solve for possible parasites and I've had to by antibiotics for fish for the first time
Thankyou Although the fish did the hardest jobWell done Lindy! Hard work always pays off.
