Aquatic Gardens Betta Page
Other names: Bettas, Anabantoids, Siamese Fighting Fish.
Family:
Anabantidae.
Native
to: Southeast Asia, Southern Asia, Tropical Africa
Members
of this family -- denizens in the wild of oxygen-starved waters, can frequently be seen gulping air at the surface; it
is perfectly
normal for them to do this, as they possess an extra breathing
organ (Labyrinth Organ) for this very purpose.
The more colorful varieties are predatory,
so care should be taken in choosing companions for them. The rest
are comparatively peaceful, but can be noisy when breeding or when
out of the water. Males
will know when it is time to breed. He will build a
bubblenest with his mouth. Then the male and the female will
stay near the bottom of the bubblenest to spawn. The male
wraps his body around the female during courtship. The females
eggs are released and then the male will release his sperm. The
male will then collect the eggs in his mouth and gently wash them.
He then proceeds to place the eggs into the bubble nest.
the male
continues to take on the responsibility
of guarding the nest, and may even kill
the female. Male fish can take
on stronger coloration at spawning time; frequently the male has
extended anal and dorsal fins.
The
Betta, or Siamese fighting fish as it's better known, grows to 3"
long and comes in a variety of brilliant colors, our male bettas
are more commonly reds, and blues, or red/blue mixes. Sometimes
greens, rarely white or black. Males, identifiable by their
collection of fancy fins, just don't get on with each other at all,
so keep only one male in your tank.

AAG
BETTA HEX BOWFRONT AQUATIC GREENHOUSE® IS A FANTASTIC GIFT
IDEA!!
Great
places to put these mini hex's are:
-
In the office
-
In the kitchen
-
Next to your computer
Our
Aquatic Greenhouse is a complete, almost maintenance-free ecosystem.
These small mini aquariums are very affordable! These dwellings
only require the correct diet, clean water, and light.
Bettas
make good bowl fish because they can handle temperature fluctuations
and have the physiological capability to breathe air.
In addition to gills, bettas also have an organ called a labyrinth,
which allows them to also breath "our" air".
They are quite simple to care for, but they are living things
and must not be neglected. They must have clean water on
a regular basis and be feed at least a few times per week or they
will starve. Alot of people think bettas will feed off of
the roots of the plants, but this is not true! They
need fat and protein! They get this from a wonderful
product from Hikari called Betta Bio-Gold, which we include with
each setup. This amount of food should last a minimum of
3 months. Replacement food is available for 2.99
The
plant provides oxygen for the fish and the plant also absorbs
the fishes waste while the snail cleans the algae from the tank.
The betta should live at least one to three years, we have had
some live longer. A replacement betta can be purchased from
local pet store for as little as 2.99 to 3.99 on sale at some
pet stores. Our bettas cost 3.99 each for males, 4.99 for
females.
Other
small species of fish such as fancy guppies, white clouds and
danios can also be used. They are also able to tolerate
temperature fluctuations.
If
the tank has too many fish, or the animals are too large for the
aquarium their health will likely suffer. Water
quality is also very important. If you have poor water quality,
the fish aren't going to be living as long as they should and
their colors won't be as good.
Educate
yourself about bettas! There is so much information available
on the internet. Bettas are living things. Please
take care of your betta and give them loving attention.
They know when you neglect them. A great spot for
your betta is in your kitchen or in your office! These are
places where your betta will enjoy watching you and you can give
them the attention they deserve. All of our Aquatic Greenhouse
come with a small sheet of instructions on the care of your tank.

Kent Betta Bowl
Essential
|
Description: Betta Bowl
Essential neutralizes harmful chlorine, and provides essential
ions for fish and plants. It can be used for preparing tap
water for new bowls, making water changes, or adding water to
make up for evaporation.
Directions: Change half the
bowl water weekly. Add 1 capful (5 ml) of Betta Bowl Essential
to a quart ( or 1 liter) of tap or purified water and use for
water changes or to replace for evaporation.
Considerations for use:
Betta Bowl Essential contains a special formula of nutrients,
conditioners and minerals developed specifically for small bowls
containing bettas and plants. The use of this product on a
weekly basis and during water changes restores substances that
are absorbed by these organisms. Kent Betta Bowl Essential can
be added to purified or tap water to ensure a proper balance of
nutrients and minerals for the establishment and maintenance of
healthy fish and plants.
Precautions: Not for human
consumption. For ornamental/aquarium fish use only. Keep out
of reach of children! |
