Betta Macrostoma

Betta Macrostoma, i believe most of the wild betta hobbyist has be crazy about this fish. Me myself got bitten by it about a year ago. To be honest, this is not an easy going fish. Before i really get my hand on them well, i kill more than 6 pairs and during the time fish the cost me about RM 450 per pair. Woot... great my wallet just made of huge hole out of this. After several attempts , i manage to get them spawn successfully. To me, spawn them and raising them is the biggest part of fun in fish keeping. You can see how the fries hunt for food, react against each other when they meet,color development stage..etc etc i just cant name it all..lol

my first pair which broods successfully




5 weeks old fries.

I keep my fishes in a 2 feet x 1 ft x 1ft tank. The tank use to be with sponge filter but recently i just upgrade it due to laziness ( lazy to change water often ). Recently i just bought in some new fishes to add some new blood into my gene pool.

Stressful new fish in green water.
