Diseases

With good care at home, a cockerel can live for about 3 years. But if the aquarium is poorly maintained, overfed or fed with live food, there is a risk that the betta will get sick.

Diseases can lead to the death of a pet, so you should pay attention to the appetite and behavior of the fish, because these are the first signs of any ailment.

1. Symptoms. The edges of the fins first become dull, then erosion appears, which grows intensively over the entire surface of the fin. Then the process of rotting occurs, and the fin disintegrates.
2. Causes. The causative agent of the disease is the bacterium Pseudomonas. It occurs due to poor quality or untimely cleaning of the aquarium, when feeding contaminated food or introducing infected fish and plants.
3. Treatment is carried out with salt baths and streptocide. It is also important to disinfect the aquarium, change some of the water, and rinse the plants and soil.

1. Symptoms. A gray spot with copious mucus secretion and clouding of the skin are formed.
2. Causes. The parasite is caused by a flagellate, which can be introduced into an aquarium with live food or infected fish.
3. Treatment is carried out with furazalidone and malachite green. In this case, it is necessary to change the water by 20-30% every day. As a rule, fish recover within a week.

1. Symptoms are a swollen belly, raised scales, redness of the fins and abdomen, loss of appetite, apathy.
2. Causes. Incorrect feeding of fish, supplementary feeding, infections.
3. For treatment, use Bicillin 5, white streptocide, and a weak solution of potassium permanganate.

1. Symptoms. Small white dots (similar to semolina grains) appear on the fish's head, which spread throughout the body. Lethargy, loss of appetite, swims in jerks.
2. Causes. Introduced into the aquarium with new fish or plants. The culprit may also be live food contaminated with ichthyophthyriasis.
3. Treatment is carried out with salt baths, malachite green, bicillin 5, antipar preparations.

By following all the recommendations for caring for a cockerel, the fish will delight you with its beauty, absence of diseases and large offspring.

Reproduction

Males mature quickly and are considered sexually mature at the age of 4 months, and begin to reproduce at 6-8 months. A pair of the same breed, and preferably the same color, is suitable for breeding.

Preparation for spawning takes several stages:

1. For spawning it is better to equip a separate aquarium. A 4-5 liter tank with a water level of no more than 10-12 cm is suitable. Soil is not placed at the bottom, but plants are needed. The female creates shelter in them, and the male often uses them to build a nest.
2. It is advisable to separate the female and male from each other for a week, during which time the female’s abdomen will noticeably become rounder.
3. Then the fish are allowed into the spawning aquarium and their temperature is constantly raised to 28-30°C, this stimulates spawning.
4. The male will begin to build a nest of foam on the surface of the water, which takes him from 1 to 3 days. If the pair is selected successfully, spawning will begin within a couple of hours.
5. During spawning, the male courts the female, picks up the eggs and carries them to the nest.

After the end of spawning, the male drives away the female (she needs to be removed), and he himself takes care of the eggs in the nest: adding bubbles, removing unfertilized eggs. When the fry hatch and begin to swim, the male also needs to be removed, otherwise he may crush the fry.

During one spawning, 200 eggs are released, about a third of them survive.

Siamese cockerels - fighters dressed in silk

The betta fish or cockerel (lat. Betta splendens) is unpretentious and beautiful, but can kill the female and other males. It is a typical labyrinth fish, meaning it can breathe atmospheric oxygen. It was the aquarium betta, and even its relative, the macropod, that were one of the first aquarium fish that were brought to Europe from Asia. But long before this moment, betta fish were already bred in Thailand and Malaysia.

The fish gained popularity for its luxurious appearance, interesting behavior and ability to live in small aquariums. It is also easy to breed and just as easy to cross, resulting in many color variations, different in everything from color to fin shape.

The wild form of the cockerel does not shine with beauty - greenish or brown, with an elongated body and short fins. It received the name fighting fish because the males engage in fierce fights with each other, which often end in the death of one of the opponents. The wild form is still used in Thailand for fighting, although not leading to the complete destruction of one of the fish. Despite the fact that fish are fierce fighters, they have a peculiar behavior in a fight. If one of the males comes up for air during a fight, the second one will not touch him, but will patiently wait until he returns. Also, if two males are fighting, the third does not interfere with them, but waits in the wings.

But the bettas that you find on sale are far from being the same fighting fish as their relatives. No, their character has not changed, they will also fight. The very concept of this fish has changed, because today's breeds should bring beauty, they have gorgeous fins, so long that they are damaged even by plants, not to mention fighting. They are kept for their beauty, gorgeous colors and equally gorgeous fins, and not for their fighting qualities.

With the right neighbors, they are quite friendly. But during spawning the male is extremely aggressive and will attack any fish. Especially fish that look like him (even his own female) or are brightly colored. Because of this, they usually keep one per aquarium, or select fish for it that it cannot offend. A male can be kept with a female, provided the aquarium is large enough and the female has somewhere to hide. Attention! The Betta is simply great for beginners and those aquarists who cannot afford a large aquarium. He needs the bare minimum both in volume and nutrition. It is also unpretentious, strong, and is always on sale. Due to its labyrinthine apparatus, it can survive in water poor in oxygen and in very small aquariums.

Maintenance and care

If you have been to the market, you have probably seen how these fish are often sold in tiny jars. On the one hand, this speaks of unpretentiousness in maintenance and care, but on the other hand, this is a bad example. You can read about how to choose the right aquarium for a betta at the link, there is nothing complicated there. It lives in all layers of water, but prefers the upper ones. It is very easy to maintain, 15-20 liters is enough for one fish, although this is the minimum volume, it nevertheless needs care. You should not keep it in a round aquarium, although this is a popular phenomenon. It is better to keep the betta in an aquarium of at least 30 liters, with a heater and always covered, as they can jump out.

If you keep more than one fish, then you need an even more spacious aquarium, with shelters for the female, preferably with dim light and floating plants. As part of regular care, it is imperative to change the water, about 25% of the volume per week, since the accumulating decay products will primarily affect the condition of the fins. As for the filter, it won’t hurt, but it doesn’t need oxygen (aeration), it breathes from the surface of the water.

As for water parameters, they can be very different; only temperature is critically important, since this is a tropical species. In general, it is recommended: temperature 24-29C, ph: 6.0-8.0, 5 - 35 dGH.

English traditional names

In England, cockerel fish were depicted not only in paintings, but also in lithographs. The best preserved work dates back to 1957. Therefore, the traditional English name for the fish will come at the right time.

Behavior

The behavioral features are not as clear-cut as one might think based on the name “Betta fish”. Some species are indeed very temperamental, while others, on the contrary, are extremely peaceful. In the first group, males are aggressive towards each other and when they meet, they engage in fierce fights, which, however, rarely lead to death. In relation to other species, they are peaceful, unless, of course, the neighboring fish looks like a rival. Males should be kept in separate aquariums. However, keeping them alone often makes them lethargic and unattractive, so in order to keep the male in good shape, a mirror is temporarily placed in the aquarium - a virtual but safe rival. Females are not so warlike and even meek, although if there is not enough space, notes of aggression may arise. In the second group, both males and females behave quite friendly towards their relatives. Of course, rivalry between males exists, but it is not as pronounced as among representatives of the first group.

Single fish are often kept in nano-aquariums, however, you should not use too small tanks of less than 20 liters. The design is arbitrary. Water conditions should have slightly acidic pH values ​​and low hardness. There is an opinion that the labyrinth organ makes Betta fish more resilient than other freshwater species, but this is not entirely true. It does provide some advantage, however, prolonged exposure to unsuitable conditions will quickly lead to a decrease in immunity and subsequent infection. Selected species are especially susceptible to disease, often developing fin rot.

“Fighting” nicknames

Of course, inspiration for the name can be found in the “fighting” nature of the pet. Their irreconcilable disposition and complex character create certain restrictions for keeping cockerels with other fish.

Varieties

The betta fish was first selected in 1910, giving it a colored color. Today there are more than 10 species of betta. They differ from each other in color:

• plain (red, yellow, white, black, blue, turquoise, purple);
• two-color (the color of the fins differs from the body color);
• multicolor (marble color, butterfly, dragon).

And also by the type of fins.

Maintenance and care

These fish are not called fighting fish for nothing.

Male cockerels conflict with each other over habitat and females. You can only place 2 males in a rectangular aquarium with a volume of 50 liters or more, additionally equipping it with a partition.

Otherwise, cockerels are undemanding in care, but some recommendations are worth following.

Aquarium

Even the smallest aquarium is suitable for one male. But it’s still better if it’s 5-10 liters. To add several females to it, you need a larger tank volume - an additional 3-4 liters per fish. The aquarium must be equipped with a breathable lid so that the fish have a flow of air and do not jump out. Also, do not fill the tank to the brim.

Fish will be comfortable at 24-28°C. A significant drop in temperature has a negative impact on bettas, making them susceptible to parasites and infections. In small aquariums, it is necessary to update the water once every 5-7 days (about a third). In large containers, it is advisable to carry out this procedure once a month.

When changing water, it is important to avoid temperature changes. Bottled water is not suitable for an aquarium; it is better to use distilled water.

Filter and aerator

Cockerels breathe atmospheric air due to a special labyrinth organ. An aerator is not required to maintain them. For these fish it is not necessary to have a filter, but it is still better if there is one. A filter with minimal flow will do.

Soil and decor

You can put river pebbles or gravel in the aquarium. It is important that the pebbles are smooth, otherwise the betta may injure or tear its fins. A special primer sold in a pet store will also work.

It is better to equip the aquarium with live plants for safety reasons. Suitable for an aquarium with fighting fish:

As decoration, it is better to give preference to driftwood, water caves or stones. Do not use natural shells and corals.

Lighting is not particularly important for the betta itself, but it affects the brightness of the fish’s color and the condition of the plants. You can install the aquarium in a bright place, avoiding direct sunlight, or use special lamps.

Feeding

Cockerels are not picky about food; they eat both natural and dry food, but it is better to combine them.

Suitable for feeding cockerels:

1. Frozen food: bloodworms, brine shrimp, tubifex, glass worms, daphnia. They can be given live, but there is a risk of infection.
2. Specialized dry food in the form of granules or flakes.

Dry and live food should not be mixed at the same meal. It is recommended to alternate them with each other.

Bettas need to be fed 2-3 times a day. Everything that the fish ate within 3-5 minutes is their one-time portion. If there is food left in the aquarium, it should be removed. It is also useful for fish to have a fasting day (no more than once every 7 days).
