grubby Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 We just bought a Balianese Lava rock sculpture that lives in one of our Palm and Bromeliad beds, its shaped like a conch and I have filled it with rainwater and a covering of Duckweed. It holds about 20 litres, I would like to put an Anabantid in it for decoration and mossie control. I was thing of putting a paradise fish in there. Are their any Bettas/other Anabantids that could go in there . Thanks, Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yodapwnsasmurf Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Try and find yourself a Chinese Black, that'd be something spectacular. I kept Bettas outdoors in summer with no worries... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Envenreptiles Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 If its pure rain water throw some java moss wads in there and any of the smaller wild Betta should work, I you want to keep it small croaking gourami (or was it sparkling) are tiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saffa Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 wild betta buddy - Splendens complex: Species include imbellis, smaragdina, splendens, stiktos, and sp. Mahachai. They love soft water accept the Mahachai which requires an alkaline harder water. Have been bred in Brisbane outside in a tube situation successfully.quiet hardy fish.
