Are two China bettas fighting or in heat when they bite each other?
Betta is a general term for all small tropical fish of Perciformes (Perciformes) in a broad sense, and refers to small tropical fish of Perciformes (Perciformes) in a narrow sense, as well as betta and its bell fish. Similar to other fish, it mainly breathes through gills, but there is another auxiliary respiratory organ-gill fan, which is named after it in English. The labyrinth is located in the cavity above the gills and filled with blood vessels. Air is sucked into the cavity through the mouth, so that betta fish can survive in anoxic water by oxygen in the air. In addition, TV, movies, comics, etc. are all named after this.
This fish is found in freshwater habitats in Asia and Africa. Most species of male fish build, protect and maintain a floating nest composed of mucus foam, which is often called nesting fish. There are about 70 kinds of fighting fish, some of which are often fed in family aquariums. All kinds of betta can be classified into Pseudobetta, or into five families, such as Puffer, Bass, Small Betta, Small Betta and Small Betta. Siamese fighting fish, a wild species, is a small fish active in paddy fields and small pools, and its color is red or green. It lives in Thailand and Southeast Asia, and the male fish has fierce competition with its peers. It will fight fiercely with the female fish for territory, and sometimes even lead to death. So, gradually, the activity of using this small fish to fight fish for fun and money is becoming more and more popular in Thailand, and from wild capture to simple breeding, it gradually turns to purposeful breeding and improvement to improve the fighting capacity of individual fighting fish. Over time, in the long process of cultivation and improvement, different strains of betta were formed. One branch formed fighting betta for fighting, and the other branch developed and improved its ornamental value, and finally formed display betta. /kloc-Today, 0/50 years later, the fighting fish has long since left its original posture and become an ordinary ornamental fish, showing various colors and tails, which is deeply favored by players. The competition of exhibition fighting fish has gradually formed. The United States, Japan, Germany and Southeast Asia have all established related fighting fish associations, and ornamental fighting fish has become the new favorite of international fish friends.

This paper discusses a problem in the mating of betta. Betta is an interesting fish species, and its mating is very strict. Two members of the same species must cooperate with each other to mate successfully. If one of them is unhappy or different in size, it will cause serious consequences, from unsuccessful mating to serious loss or death. Therefore, we should choose some similar species, the male fish should not be too big or too small, and the most suitable one should be thinner than the female fish, so that the female fish will not be attacked and killed by the male fish when mating, and the female fish should be mature with abdominal distension. In terms of age, four months to two years old is more appropriate. During the breeding period, the parent fish, especially the male fish, is married and has a color that is not usually available. Most of them are oviparous and fertilized in vitro. Male fish have the characteristics of foaming to build nests and protect their young. The fertilized eggs and seedlings are very small, so live bait is needed to open the bait.
Bubble nest for fighting fish (2 pieces) Although the male fighting fish is cruel when fighting, he takes care of his children. The male fish is a relative. In addition to building a bubble nest before spawning, it does not rest for a moment when the fish eggs hatch. Sometimes it picks up the fallen grains, sometimes it maintains the bubble nest, and often swims around the bubble nest to guard against possible invading enemies. After the small betta can live independently, the male betta can be fished out of the breeding box and fed. A pair of parent fish spawn 200 fertilized eggs at a time, hatch in about 36 hours, and larvae can swim freely 3 days after hatching. Thai betta males cannot be kept together. The males of each fighting fish should be kept separately in a small jar. Female fish grow well at the water temperature of 2 1℃-30℃, and the requirements for water quality are not high. In practice, females and males can be mixed with the same fish. During the courtship and breeding period of betta, the male fish is very colorful, and there is a process of proposing marriage and nesting. Before laying eggs, the male fish first chooses a calm and sheltered place on the water surface, and sucks air and spits mucus through his mouth to form bubbles. Numerous bubbles stick together to form a floating nest with a raised or slightly flat surface. When the nest was built, the male fish began to propose to the female fish. The beautiful male fish kept swimming around the female fish, trying to open the beautiful fins, his mouth was wide open, and the gill membrane was prominent, so you could see the bright red gills in the gill membrane. In the process of courtship, the body color becomes particularly bright, and the body and fins appear iridescent. The male fish trembled with excitement. If the female fish does not respond to the male fish's courtship, the male fish will become angry and chase the female fish until it is forced to jump out of the water and escape. After complicated courtship, the female fish accepted the courtship of the male fish, approached the male fish, and then suddenly lay down. The male fish immediately clings to the female fish, turns the female fish over and lets the male fish get stuck under the female fish. At this time, the male fish and the female fish excrete eggs and sperm respectively. Because eggs are heavier than water, they sink in the water. At this time, the male fish waiting below catches it with his mouth, coats the eggs with a layer of mucus, and goes upstream to stick the eggs under the floating nest. Although the male fish is cruel when fighting, he takes care of his children. The male fish is a relative. In addition to building a bubble nest before spawning, it does not rest for a moment when the fish eggs hatch. Sometimes it will pick up the sinking particles to repair the bubble nest, and often swim around the bubble nest to guard against possible invading enemies. After the betta can live independently, the male betta can be fished out of the breeding box and fed. A pair of betta fish spawn 200 fertilized eggs at a time, and hatch in about 36 hours. After hatching, the larvae can swim freely for 3 days.
Edit this feeding
(1) Feeding water quality: Betta fish does not require high temperature, and generally can survive at 20 ~ 30℃, and the water temperature of 24 ~ 27℃ is the most suitable for its growth; The optimum pH value of water is neutral water, and the pH value is 6.5 ~ 7.2. It is best to keep the dissolved oxygen at 5mg/l under the condition of artificial feeding. In addition, we should also pay attention to controlling the contents of some toxins in the water, and take residual chlorine 0mg/l, nitrite 0mg/l, nitrate 5mg/l, ammonia nitrogen 0mg/l and phosphate 0mg/l as the standards to test whether the water quality of your culture meets the needs of fish, and make timely adjustments to provide a suitable water quality environment for betta fish. (2) Feeding management: Because betta is an ornamental fish that is relatively resistant to rough farming, many people neglect management in the feeding process. Even if the fighting fish can survive tenaciously, it will repay you with listlessness and depression. If you want the fish to live freely and add happiness to your life, you must try your best to show the love of your master. There are no special restrictions on the containers for raising betta fish, ranging from mixed fish tanks to glass jars. However, due to their aggressive nature, in order to avoid fighting, they are generally raised separately. If you want to raise two male fighting fish, atrix, and each one shows a magnificent posture, you can put a glass in the middle of the fish tank and insert a non-toxic plastic plate, which can feast your eyes without hurting the fish. In recent years, palm pots have been continuously introduced in Taiwan Province Province, and their exquisite shapes and rich colors are very suitable for showing the beauty of fighting fish. But no matter what kind of container is used, some necessary decoration and equipment are needed to provide the best living environment for betta fish and let them grow. First of all, a clean layer of thin bottom sand or colored sand should be laid on the bottom of the fish tank, which can stabilize the roots of aquatic plants on the one hand and provide adhesion for microorganisms on the other. The ratio of water to bottom sand is 5: 1. In order to keep enough oxygen in the tank and provide hiding place for fish, aquatic plants with low CO2 demand, such as Ceratophyllum demersum and Kuroshio, should be planted appropriately. In addition, in order to provide sufficient light for the photosynthesis of aquatic plants, it is best to configure a small lamp with soft light in a small glass tank. The equipment for raising betta fish is not only light and simple, but also effortless. Just siphon the excrement and dirt at the bottom of the pool every 3 ~ 7 days with plastic hose, pump out about13 of sewage, and inject dechlorinated tap water to create a clean water environment. Because there is no power equipment to drive the water circulation in the small aquarium, it is necessary to pay attention to remove the oil film on the water surface formed by residual bait and feces at any time. You can use bamboo chopsticks to hold a piece of absorbent paper and drag it gently on the water. In addition, some beneficial microorganisms and trace elements should be added according to the water quality. Betta is an omnivorous and carnivorous fish species, which can be fed with a variety of baits. Try not to make the recipe of Betta too monotonous. Usually, the artificially dried bait is complete in nutrients, clean and hygienic, and it is an essential bait for most people to feed betta. In order to adapt to the habits of upper-level water fighting fish, it is best to choose floating feed, if new fresh bait can be fed at intervals, such as harvest worms, dragonflies, silkworms, water fleas and so on. It can make the body color of betta fish more vivid, and at the same time, you can enjoy the fun of feeding fish. However, because most of these baits contain bacteria, it is easy for fish to get sick. They can only be used as seasoning for fighting fish. When feeding, be sure to rinse it clean, eat it within 5 minutes each time, and feed it once a day.
