Default How to choose...

...a good fighting fish from LFS?

I mean what do you look out for in terms of finnage, colour and behaviour???

I seem to have a problem getting a good fish the first time. (FYI, Le Feu is sick...I think he has fin rot and it doesn't look good.. T.T )

ps: I live near Yee Fatt Aquarium and Irene Aquarium.

Oooh... So sorry to hear that.... Fin rot kinda comes with the package that is Halfmoon.... Their tail membrane tends to be too thin, making them prone to fin rot attacks....

Try using melafix, and always keep the water clean....

I got a new fighting fish and released Le Feu into the wild (no, I didn't flush him down the toilet).

Presenting Le Bleu (hahahah, how original is that?)

Wild? Where did you release it?

Erm.. I think betta splendens is ok since it used to be a pretty common species hanging round... but really, don't make it a habit to release fish into the "wild", some aren't native species... a single flowerhorn can decimate the native fish population and we'll no longer see our beautiful local fish around anymore. Then all we'll see is flowerhorns in our rivers and lakes... Kisskissbangbang's dream come true hehe.

Hi Eleraine,

Please dont simply release any fishes into the wild. No matter that is native or non native. If you bought them from the fish shop. You can offer to give to member in here or just exchange with something like pellet with fish shop.

Btw, why you asking how original is that? Crowntail or HM are all man made betta.

Heheh... Dom... I think she meant the name la... Le Bleu = The Blue.... The ct is blue colour ma.....

Anyway, ya, don't simply release ornamental fishes into the wild... Although I'm not so much against the release of native species, as long as released at the right places la....
