Hello betta lovers and what's up everybody and welcome to my video
Today is special day because today we would like to discuss about how to choose under baby betta or very young betta.
In other words, Today we would like to discuss about how to sorting betta from under baby size.
Okay, Let gets start
Under baby betta that I mean in this topic is a betta fish that size is less than 3.5 cm
And maybe this topic is debatable for some people,
but this method is based on my personal experience.
Today we would like to see some of under baby betta.
This is the stage after successful breeding Betta fish,
Especially if the purpose of breeding betta is for commercial purposes.
The sorting process that I do is based on market demand. There are various types of buyers
Some buyers tend to buy because color, and some buyers tend to buy because of form of betta.
Okay, I've sorted a number of betta to use as examples.
Btw this is the HMPK generation, his father is orange copper dragon HMPK,
and his mother is orange copper dragon HMPK. His father was dead
because he had a fungal infection during the rainy season. But his mother is still alive.
of the hundreds of living betta fry, I see there are several types colors
There are red copper, red dragon, orange dragon and orange copper, even light color
and unpredict color,
First of all, what we have to look the form of head and body of betta fish.
In some previous videos, I often suggest to be careful to look the form of betta head.
When we look the under baby betta, make sure we are sorting the fish that head is smooth, without lumps, and not like dolphin head.
to make it easier, we can see on this fish.
This is a normal of betta head and this is dolphin betta head.
In addition, make sure the betta can open the gillcover properly
By the way this betta is still very young, so it can't fully open the gillcover yet.
Next is the form of fin tail
the angle of the tail on the under baby is usually between 170-180 degrees.
Make sure that the tail is strong and there's no broken bones.
and one more thing, make sure that the fish can open the fin tail perfectly without any creases
This is an example of a fish that can open fin tail perfectly,
and this is an example of fin tail that is fold
My suggestion is to choose fish with long bones fin tail,
beside that the balance of fin tail also needs to be considered.
Even though you have chosen young betta well, you need to remember,
There is no guarantee that in the future, your betta will be result good form.
This is just a logical approach to choose under baby fin tail.
And sometimes not according to predictions.
But not a few good betta according to predictions.
Next is Dorsal fin
Dorsal fin is an important part of the Betta fish that must be considered carefully.
If the base of the dorsal is too small, then when the betta has adult,
it will tend to difficult overlaping with caudal fin.
Therefore choose a fish with a large or medium dorsal base.
Beside that make sure the dorsal fin is not weak
And as for the number of bones,
If you look at this fish. There are about 10 to 12 bones in the dorsal.
And I think that's enough for an upright or strong dorsal fin.
Next is ventral fins
and about ventral fins
We need to look at the balanced of ventral fins.
You can see the balance of ventral fins on this fish.
Not only balanced, but the length should not be too short.
Okay now we talk about the mental or charater of young betta.
and good mental or characters of betta usually indicated by calm character and brave character.
Usually a calm and brave character of betta are Inherited from Father and mother.
Therefore, before breeding betta, make sure betta pair for breeding are betta with good character.
So that the new generation are also brave.
And talk about mental of betta.
We can train young betta fish.
and train mental for young betta is a job that is sometimes easy,
sometimes difficult.
For me, a calm betta is more entertaining and enjoyable to see.
How to train a betta fish is with a mirror, with fellow betta, and with a stick.
However, each betta has a different character.
Next is water. Choose water for betta must be very careful.
These are young fish. For perfect growth, water parameters must be considered.
The term that often I use is Intensive water change.
The water quality in the Betta fish tank must be maintained.
You also need to know that water also affects the character of the betta,
bad water will cause the betta to be unsettled.
While good water will cause the betta to be calm.
You can see this betta moving slowly.
It's a combination of good water and good character of betta.
And Okay betta lovers, Now Iam going to show you the result of my choice.
We can see whether the sorting results are good or not.
We can see the difference in these two fish. You need to know that
These two fish are the same fish.
Fish on the left is a fish at the age of 1.5 months.
And the fish on the right is a fish at the age of 2.5 months.
Based on my choice, I am very grateful because the fish that I sorted were successfully transformed according to predictions.
You can see under baby betta that I sort now have a big caudal, good form of head and body.
And I think this fish is suitable for market demands.
Okay Betta lovers maybe you have different opinion or maybe you have a question about under baby betta
