Just for information I live in eastern Borneo, in a city called samarinda
And
by the way
this is a small part of the achievement that I can show to you
from this trophy I want to inform that people's interest in betta fish is huge
The lively competition is proof that betta fish are in high demand
We in Indonesia have our own standards which we call SNI or Indonesia betta criteria
The main assessment base for SNI competition are the form of fish, such as form of head, body, fins, and
character of betta, and back to the topic about betta female for SNI competition
Good form of betta head is resemble head of plane C919,
not lump, not dolphin, flaring can open perfectly.
And
after we're talking about head of betta fish
Now we start to talking about body. If we talking about body of betta fish. Its mean
We're talking about compression of long body and long tail
In other words we talk about long proportion of body and tail of betta
Beside that we must see body form of betta.
Idealy the form of betta is like this, more details you can see at the picture
The body of betta is not humpback
beside that we also have to look at the base of tail form
The base of tail must also be perpendicular and not bend
Maybe difficult to explain
but easier to understand if we look this betta
All right Now we would like to talking about fins of betta
The fin that I mean are caudal, anal, dorsal, and ventral fins
Basically all fins must be able to open perfectly without any creases
Caudal length must not be less than 30% of body and
highly recommended to choose betta that have lengths above
35% or 40% of body. And caudal height must not exceed dorsal height
Beside that, the Caudal must overlapping with dorsal and anal
Anal must be form like a trapezoid and straight
and must be no creases
The ventral fins must be balanced, the length must not be less than the length of the rear anal fin
more easily we can see in the following fish
Mentally, character the fish is brave, and calm
by the way this fish called is a plakat but in Indonesia this fish is also known as the HMPK
or some people also call it bigtail.
I personally started breeding fish for the big tail type in 2016
Based on market data in Indonesia, betta fish with SNI criteria are more in demand
But the challenge is producing betta with good quality is not easy.
Selective breeding, genetic selection based on ancestors is the most important thing,
If you want to produce quality betta.
By the way, before I forget. I want to inform you that the price of betta fish for the contest is varies greatly
Depending on the quality
Underbaby size is usually valued at 50K in rupiah. Underbaby size is about 3 cm
and the baby size is valued at 250K in rupiah with a size of 3.7 to 4 cm
And for adult betta, size 4 cm up is usually valued at 300K to 1 million rupiah
This price is not always the same, it all depends on the quality of the betta fish
By the way like or dislike, now betta fish has become a commercial product
So it is not surprising
if the price of betta fish is relatively expensive and maybe cheap for some people
and although betta fish is a commercial product that can be traded, but we must still take care good
and Finally, thank you so much for watching this video, and I'm sorry

learn English more
