The shop is locate next to the egg store. :)

P.S: That shop is my $1 Plakat

The $4 Half Moon is at Kovan. Near OCBC Bank.
A big tank at the entrance. All big big fish lai de. Haha..
That timing is more friendly. Almost full day! :D

Betta care is generally hassle free if you are looking at just keeping the fish alive. They can be kept in small tanks or containers with no less then 3 litres of water. They'll be happy with clean water and a water change every 3 days will be sufficient to keep them in tip top shape.They generally accept all sort of food, how ever, its had to tame a betta to accept dried or process food when its been fed with live food (i.e Tubifex worm and Daphnia,aka, boon) . However, starving it for not more then 3 days and then feeding them again with dried food again would encourage it to adapt to a dried food diet. I would strongly dissuade feeding of live food as they might be carrying bacteria or parasite that is harmful to the fish.Alot of times, unknown fish death are caused by these bacteria which are ingested by the fish, and thus, attacking the fish internally.

alot of places in sg sell bettas now adays...but little sells quality one.. clementi block 328 brings in some decent pieces from yun feng every now and then.. Chua chu kang 306 also brings in betta and so does yishun 618. Their supplier for betta is basically yun feng which is based at pasir ris farmway. Yun feng brings in fishes from thailand, so you can expect to see some very unique coloration and finnages there.. Bettas now adays has gone beyond those days where people use it for fighting and entertainment purposes(its not allowed now adays anw). There have been an increased number of people who keep betta for their captivating color , finnages and temperament. For that, there have been alot of competition organised for people to show off and compete for the best looking bettas. The upcoming Aquarama at suntec city is one of these kind of competition... maybe you peeps could go check it out... =)

With that, I hope there would be more people keeping bettas , thus to keep this hobby going =)

just need to make sure you dechlorine the water, which is quite standard for fish keeping
other than that, feed them and change water regularly and you should be fine
can try adding ketapang leaves to the water for better conditions for them

Prefer one colour breeds ( old school style :s13) although the dumbo is the new one

The cheapest one I saw was $3 . PK short fin I think

sometimes might be water condition
but since it tried to take a bite, it should not be.
starve it and try again
