Fish Wholesalers - Feeding Of Betta
Feeding: They will eat anything really. At the moment mine are eating betta flake (I forgot to buy anything else). Just make sure any flake you feed them is soaked, this will let it sink to the bottom. They keep the bottom fairly clean, but don’t use this as an excuse to overfeed. Mine will also eat cucumber, peas, bloodworms… As I said, anything. Sexing and Breeding: Sexing- The females are usually larger than the males. Also the colouring is different- The males have about 3 horizontal stripes with the top two joined together with vertical bars, the females look a lot like bronze cories. Spawning is, as far as I know, the same as other cories- condition the fish with live food, do a cool water change and allow spawning. However, I have only found a few breeding accounts, so will hopefully update in a few weeks when I’ve tried it myself. If you want a more detailed account, see the profile on the spotted cory. Common name/s: Crystal eyed catfish, black devil catfish Scientific name: Hemibagrus wyckii Family:Bagridae Origin: SE Asia Maximum size: 28″ Care: A large tank and equally large filtration are a must for keeping this large growing catfish, a minimum tank size of 120 gallons (5×2x2′) is recommended with two external canister filters or a sump style filter. The fish isn t fussy of water conditions provided extremes of hardness and pH are avoided, temperature should be kept between 22 and 25 centigrade (72-76f). A fish for the species tank only, the fish becomes increasingly aggressive with age and will attack and kill any living creature it shares a tank with. A large rock or piece of bogwood should be used as a place for the fish to hide behind. Feeding: Large meaty frozen foods and pellets for carnivorous fish will all be accepted as will large live foods, once over 12″ the fish should only be fed one large meal once a week. Sexing and breeding: Unknown Common name: Electric catfish Scientific name: Malapterurus electricus Family: Malapteruridae Origin: throughout Central Africa Maximum size: up to 39″ but usually no larger than 12″ Care: This is not a very active cat so doesn t need as much space as some of the other cats such as pims, although due to the size of this fish I would not keep them in anything less than a 48″x30″x24″deep tank. They need to be provided with plenty of hiding places such as logs/bogwood, tubes etc, dim lighting is preferred. When maintaining the tank, a great deal of care is needed not to stress the fish as these can deliver a nasty shock. I had one at 3″ which I got 2 shocks off. It is not really dangerous apart from people with heart problems and young children.
