    Sorry you lost her was thinking of getting a pair for $55

    Thanks. where are you planning on buying them from? I recommend Blackwater Aquatics but they are wild caught so they will be a little more sensitive to water changes and just to let you know any wild caught fish will try to breed once introduced to a new environment so be prepared. also this second pic I found is usually what the female looks like non breeding condition. Screenshot_20220313-073626_Google.jpg.8698f5738814a3722dd7582bb6ddaec0.jpg

    Do both color up like that or mostly the male ? Want to get a pair 

    That is a male in breeding condition. You can control that by the temperature 72 °F thru 75°F isn't breeding temperature while 76°F thru 82°F is breeding temperature. unfortunately my female betta hendra has passed away and I did take pictures but I found some online that was extremely close. That is a female betta hendra in breeding condition

  3. the female is has some of the color but is not as pronounced. if you want to get a pair try Blackwater Aquatics they are getting some more pairs next week. also if you want bettas where the female is just as colorful as the the male try betta rubra.

  4. Sorry I didn't explain myself correctly, what I was trying to say if I have the eggs of the chromaphyosemion volcanum and I didn't submerged the eggs on the hatch date, and left them in peat for a few months. would theystill hatch.

  5. Does anyone know how long do killifish eggs last after their incubation period in peat moss if the aren't hatched by the supposed hatch? 

    If anyone needs a few examples killifish like Chromaphyosemion volcanum Ekondo Titi or Aphyosemion Australe.

    You might want your pH to be lower, like closer to 6, maybe 6.5 at the highest since they're wild. The lid is also a must if you plan on breeding, some people even cellophane wrap the top since the fry need humid air for their labyrinth organ to develop properly.

    This is the tank they are going in because I forgot to post a picture of it there is duck weed on top and the tank occupants aren't going to be there so don't worry. There is peat moss in the filter as well. I tested the pH it is at 6.5 to 6.6 10 minutes ago.

  7. A buddy of mine has a 30 gallon and wants to put this in a pair of clown killies, 7 cpds, 7 odessa barbs and 1 apistogramma agassizii as the center piece fish. Is there any problem with any of her choices? Oh and it is going to be a planted tank. 

  8. From what I read their normal habitat has between 5cm to 30cm of depth. And even though they are different species I put my betta imbellis in 29 gallon he just hid. 2.5 is ridiculous to me.

  9. I am planning on getting a pair of betta hendra I was wondering what minimum recommended tank size would be good for a planted species only tank? For me it is hard to decipher because the minimum tank size is all over the place. Some like the IBC say 2.5 gallons while others say 10 to 20 gallons.
