Betta fish breeding in Thailand

The Chinese Betta is a genus of genus Ciconia, native to Thailand and the Malay Peninsula. Its body length is up to 6 cm.
Today, the bettas that have been raised in Thailand have been through the efforts of tropical fish lovers all over the world for many years. They rely on artificial varieties and are divided into colors: bright red, bright green, brilliant blue, pale purple, pure black, milky white, and brownish brown. The monochromatic and variegated Thai fighting fish are numerous and numerous. The length of their fins has also greatly increased, that is, the fighting fish in countries such as Europe and the United States.
Thai betta is a very interesting tropical fish. Males are very aggressive. If two cannibals are in the same tank, the battle between them will often continue until one of the bettas is killed. The color of the winning party is usually more vivid. If you want to have a bucket for fighting fish, you can choose two male fish of similar size, place them in a fish tank with a glass partition, and separate them with a glass partition. Once these two bettas were found to be spreading their fins, the color of their bodies, and head-to-head against the glass partitions, they wanted to swim together, indicating that the two sides were eager to see each other win or lose. The cylinder was removed from the tank and fighting began. When the two males meet, they deploy the fins and swing back and forth to threaten each other. One of them first attacks its opponent and the other counterattacks. When the truss stands out, the pods protrude out of the throat, much like the feathers of a cockfight, and they bite each other's fins. In a short period of time, the fins looked like rags, and until one of them was killed, the battle would not stop. The victorious male fish must restore its strength. Most of its cracked fins will grow together again, but the fins will become thicker. After the wounds heal, they will leave scars and often lose their ornamental value.
Betta male fish cannot be raised together. The male of each betta should be kept alone in a small tank. The water quality of the female fish is not strict and it grows well at a water temperature of 21°C to 30°C. In practice, one female and one male can be polycultured with the same fish.
Betta fish are oviparous. The color of the female fish is not as bright as that of the male. The dorsal, anal, and caudal fins of the male fish are more than 5 cm in length from the female fish as broodstock. Breeding is easier, the temperature of the breeding water is adjusted to about 27°C, the pH is 7.0, and the hardness is 9-11. Breeding box placed a layer of floating plants, and then the brooded fish directly into the brood, as the broodstock females must reach sexual maturity, if the male estrus but not the female estrus, the male fish will chase it, Fish should be removed, or females will be killed by male fish. Before the oviposition, the male builds the bubble ovary. When the male lays, the male puts the female under the bubble nest and then uses the body to wrap it on the female. The female will fertilize the egg and make it fertilize. If the bottom of the egg, the male and female will Pick them up and spit them in the bubble nest. After the completion of spawning, only male fish need to be kept.
Although the fighting skeleton of the male fighting fish is very cruel, it cares for their children. The male is a pro. In addition to building a bubble nest before spawning, when the eggs hatch, it does not rest for a moment. Sometimes it picks up the sink to pellets, and sometimes repairs the bubble nests. It often wanders around the bubble nests and moves around, guarding against possible intrusions. enemy. After the fish can live independently, the male betta can be removed from the breeding box for feeding. A pair of broodstock hatches 200 eggs at a time for about 36 hours. The larvae are free to swim three days after hatching.
