Fish Breeding Pelaga

Pelaga fish are beautiful, but love to fight with other fish, including other types of fish fighter. Need to enter in a separate container with other fish. Fighter fish is a freshwater fish that are kept in aquariums. It comes from the Mekong basin in Southeast Asia.

Among the types of fish is Betta splendens fighter (siamese fighter fish), imbellis Betta (fish mengkaring) and Trichopsis vittata (fish sempilai).

Female fighter fish have dull colors compared to the male fighter fish. At the back of a female fighter fish is a white hole, known as visitor, partially close the anus. After mating, females produce 100 to 500 eggs. Female fighter fish must be removed as they will eat their own eggs. Male fighter fish produce foam nests. After mating, the male fighter fish take the eggs out and placed into the bubble nest. Fry hatch in two days. Three days later, the seeds will swim freely. At this time, male fighter fish should be separated because it will eat the seeds.

How breeding by providing:
  1. 10 gallon plastic containers 
  2. Mist / Foam Cup 
  3. Plastic flues 
  4. A pair of fighter fish (female and male) 
  5. Aquatic trees (artificial or live)
Select a pair of fish that are not too old fighter. If the fish is too old fighter, it is about reproductive and do not have the energy to mate. After choosing a mate, provide food for a week. Give more to eat as it is required to eat less during the mating process in the run. After feeding, prepare the mating tank. Place the plastic flue along with the water in the tank. It is used to put fish in it so the female can not be biting males before females are ready to mate. Then, put the water in the tank. The tank is not filled too full. Then, place a fog or foam cup. If you use a foam cup, cut half of the foam cup. And put it on the surface of the water tank that has been filled. It will form a "tunnel". It is used for males build a nest foam. Place the artificial or live aquatic plants. Better living plants (eg Kiambang) because it has nutrients - nutrients good for growing fish. Plants are also important for female fish male fish to hide when bitten. 

Place fish in a tank male mating first. Wait for an hour so that males can adjust to the tank mate that is provided. Then, put the female into the flue. Males will grow tails and build a bubble nest. For a week, you will see vertical lines in female fish. This sign of preparation for mating females. Visitor white female, will more than ever. Vertical lines found in female fish can be seen if the fish are black cardamom. To more precisely, at night, put the light on the female fish. Vertical lines are more easily seen. After the female is ready, see the male fish. Males will build bubble nests much. If sufficient foam nest, remove the female fish. If no mating carried out, and of course the male fish will bite the female fish. Place the female in the flue. If the male is ready to mate, he will chase the female into the nest-nest. Then she will mate as in the video. Mated to be run several times in several hours. After 2 days, the son of a very small fighter fish will swim free. At present it is best if the fish tank then remove from the male in mating.

WARNING:
  1. Do not put anything - any rock in the tank mate
  2. Plants are important 
  3. After mating, males will chase females from the nest - nest. At this time, it is best if female TAKEN OUT of the tank 
  4. After the fry are free swimming, FISH RELEASES MALE from the tank. Fish fry will grow up in the tank mate.



Ikan Kaloi (Osphronemus goramy)

Kaloi fish is a freshwater fish. Name Osphronemus goramy science. 
 
Flat-bodied fish Kaloi. Kaloi fish inhabit calm water river, and lake. The main diet is vegetation, moss, and small insects such as crickets, and worms.
 
Large fish species.
Giant Gourami build nests using weeds and twigs. Female Giant Gourami can be identified by their thicker lips. The Giant Gourami is native to parts of Indochina, Malaysia , Indonesia and India, but has been introduced elsewhere for the purpose of aquaculture.
 
It lives in fresh or brackish water, particularly slow-moving areas such as swamps, lakes and large rivers. It is capable of breathing moist air, so can survive out of water for long periods. It is much larger than most gouramis, growing to a maximum length of 70 cm (28 inches). In colour it is a pale to golden yellow, with silvery pale blue stripes running vertically along its body.
 
Partly in consequence of its size, the Giant Gourami is a significant food fish; in some parts of India, for example, it is dried and then eaten. In some of the South East Asian countries where it is native, there are aid programs promoting the 'domestication of these fish, while in its native regions it has been harvested as a customary food source. The species has also been used for weed control as they can be voracious herbivores.
 
Red scales, it is beautiful.
Breeding

The Giant Gourami is an egg layer and the male will build a bubblenest before spawning. The male and female are distinguished by the dorsal fins and body color. The dorsal fin on the male ends in a point, and the body is darker changing to nearly black during spawning. When breeding, the water in the tank should be decreased to about 20 cm (8 inches) deep and the temperature should be 28 °C (82 °F). After spawning the female should be removed to a separate tank as the male will jealously guard the eggs, in a captive environment, sometimes becoming aggressive towards the female. The eggs will hatch in 24 hours. They must be kept in a dark aquarium.

Diet

Gourami tend towards vegetarianism, preferring algae-based foods but will eat meaty foods. An algae-based flake food, along with freeze-dried bloodworms, tubifex, and brine shrimp will provide these fish with the proper nutrition while young. Once of significant size, they can be fed legumes, part or fully cooked fibrous or starchy vegetables, or fresh (or off) fruits. They do develop tastes, such as an aversion to acidic or strongly flavoured foods such as tomatoes or onions, or fresh stone fruit or citrus.
You can buy exotic freshwater fish in Pudu Wet Market.
There are 10 hawkers selling 'packet' fish. The packet
fish above are gourami (Malay: Ikan Kaloi).
Tank specifications

The Giant Gourami is also popular in aquaria. Preferably the tank should have a dark bottom, and densely planted edges. There should be plenty of room left in the center of the tank for the Gourami to swim. They prefer the company of other fish which are of a similar size and temperament. They will be most easy to keep at 3 months old at around 75 mm or 3".
 
At this age they will have a pronounced beak. They can grow rapidly given sufficient diet and space to move. Even under less than ideal conditions, Gourami can grow from 75 mm to 500 mm in four years. At this age, in addition to the rounded face, a mature Giant Gourami would have begun to develop the hump just above their eyes.
 
The Gourami, in a community tank, will snap and charge any other fish which are small enough for it to bully. Like most aquaria dwellers, Giant Gourami will consider existing co-habitants as part of the furniture and so can be quickly raised with larger more passive fish. However, if other fish are added to a tank, either large or small, they might be killed within a short period.

Occasionally can be considered lucky to kaloi
because this fish type 'shy'.
