S i thing that defines the "splendor" of Betta, in addition to their color compositions, are their peculiar fins, it is the majesty of the varieties long-finned either combative appearance of short fins.
health of our dogs, and the quality of their finnage depend on the treatment and care they give to their fins, among other things, in other words, fins a decisive influence on the health and quality (relative standards) of our Bettas.
then try address various technical factors and take into account regarding our Bettas fins.
Water
P roviding appropriate values \u200b\u200bis a key factor in the care and development of the fins of our horses, respecting some basic precepts that may conflict with the usual information that comes about care and maintenance of the Betta.
Contrary to popular thought associated with the Betta, encouraged by his fame to withstand up to 2 months in a puddle the size of a footprint of beef (thanks to the labyrinth and survivor's instinct), we control the quality of the water frequently and ensure their correct values, to do otherwise is to promote diseases such as fin rot, septicemia, parasites, fungi and a whole repertoire of illnesses. Respect
values \u200b\u200b"healthy" for both NO2 and NO3, as we do with other fish, it depends largely on proper maintenance of your Bettas. The labyrinth does not protect them from contamination.
The pH should be set to an optimal range situated between 6.5 and 7.5.
GH should not exceed 16 º but the ideal value lies between 3 and 6, so take care to maximize the quality of the fins, especially in copies of fins long and weak (veiltail, crowntail and halfmoon, mainly) , for which it is also advisable to allocate at least 2-3 liters of volume at least ..
Water temperature is crucial for the proper development of fish in general and especially fins, the fins are provided with capillaries that carry blood and allowing the copy to display in full and at its best fins (reason The program is also important to exercise our Bettas). It noted the ripple effect exerted by the cold water on crowntail radios (and other variants that show radios) and inactivity in the fish that fosters lethargy of the fish (why let unfold the detriment fins of development and maintenance).
maintenance The ideal temperature is 27 º C. Exercising
fins
D rom very early years we will strive for the development and maintenance of our Bettas fins, exercises that are to be periodic and non-point, considering the physical effort of fish each year we will have to establish safety margins for not exhausting and even harm your health.
As I introduce in the article "Creating players, there are several exercises based on physical exertion and in visual contact with other specimens, why not repeat myself avoiding filled with more of the same.
Instead, this section will tell you about the importance of these exercises to the smooth development of our stock.
5 minutes a day of physical exertion, either with water pumps, with aerators or other items or exercises will be enough to keep fit and well developed (physically) to our Bettas. It is true that there are techniques that apply to permanent and other alternative mode but longer and provided with various intervals, but generally these exercises are not physically exhausted our fish.
Equally important is to respect water conditions that keep if you move to to develop the exercise, temperature, ph, gh, NO2, NO3 ,..., is also essential to ensure to minimize the impact of stress that we pour over the fish to exercise and to ensure their well being and the integrity of their immune system (which is weakened by the impact of stress on the fish and most likely affects disease).
Why is it important to exercise the fins and from when we take action?, It is important for the proper development of the same, otherwise degenerate into little fins stunted size, attenuated weakness in its constitution and, ultimately, the finnage the specimen. Exercise for the fins undertaken once defined their sex, ie, beyond the threshold of 2 months of life can get down to work. After reaching
physical fitness, do we prolong or stop the exercises?, We continue with the exercises to make a good maintenance of the fins, while we lower the frequency and intensity of the same, and may delegate the exercise Betta compositions of mixed (multiple cages to host cells Bettas), where work will be ongoing, daily and devoid of stress, due to the high visual contact with the opposite sex and the limited impact of eye contact with individuals of the same sex.
A Betta distribute it in such mixed so that each fish has cells around parallel and diagonal cells as well, alternating male and female specimens of a balanced system.
MHMHMHM
HMHMHMH
MHMHMHM
HMHMHMH
As shown, for any cell of 1 male (M), for example, we have: M-
H-M H
- M - H
M-H-M
Where we see the parallel cells (which share crystal cell of the male and where visual impact is total) contain females (and female cells get the same effect with males). Therefore, the incentive is permanent, forcing the deployment of fins daily.
On the other hand, in diagonal we have:
M-H-M
H-M-H
M-H-M
Where the visual impact is greatly reduced to be the corners of each cell in the line of sight of the copies of the same sex. (Get the same effect for females). Thus, stress also reduced the maximum within the Betta.
Care fins, or obligation in the Bettas keeping
A lgo what needs to get used in the care of Bettas, is the inevitable work of healing and repairing the wings of the same, whether a wound, whether a condition, we take in the matter and not entrusted with the task of recovery in their ability to regenerate.
first thing we have to consider are the conditioners, which create favorable conditions in the medium (the aquarium water) for the care of scales and fins, including 2 treatments on the rest by far, on one hand we have the stress coat aloe vera-based, easy to prepare home and also available in a commercial, on the other hand there to highlight the Terminalia catappa, known as Indian almond and whose leaves are also commonly known (among aquarists) as an oak leaf. Use of Terminalia revolves around its leaves, green leaves maturing serving in the aquarium (up to 1 week), leaves (directly into the aquarium or infusion, after boiling in water) but it is possible to get commercial products Terminalia based mainly (noted for its flagship product, Atison Betta Spa, Ocean Nutrition).
When repairing a damaged fin ALWAYS there to cure before trying to recover, and once cured the condition, we turn to the recovery of the flap. For quick and successful recovery of the fins have different methods of high efficiency:
-Terminalia Catappa: In addition to use as a conditioner so we can use as a generator of fins, it has certain properties that go beyond the ordinary to the care of our Bettas: help showing the colors, create a bactericide in the middle layer (thanks to the intervention of tannins secreted), leads to reproduction, regeneration of fins, slightly lower the pH, helps regulate renal, prevents rot before minor peaks nitrogen (not a safeguard against rot if the contamination is exceeded, but it is a good preventive bacterial blooms). (NOTE ON TERMINALIA: the use of in the middle Terminalia affects the sex ratio of rates, favoring females compared to males (in the count of the offspring).
-Sales
healing: They are indeed faster than Terminalia generally provided as components that place good preventive, including 2 on the remaining products: Hobby Ektozon (and its second version, Sanoxon) and Sera Ektopur.
-dried banana leaves (this tip is owed to Azucena Gual, Petite Diablesa, who recently published on his blog, Blue Spirits.): Based on the use of dried leaves of the banana leaf like Terminalia dry it were, adding them to aquarium. As with Terminalia, the water will turn brown (indicative of segregation of the tannins). This treatment includes both the regeneration of fins as the eradication of some diseases in fins and body, emphasizing its effect on inflammation of the eyes and mild attacks of fungi.
fins through breeding
N or go into explanations or extensions genetic cross diagrams to establish lines or features, instead, not to extend this article will address a couple of points of interest.
first thing to consider with respect to the fins, breeder's perspective, is the undesirable result that our dogs suffer some deterioration in their fins, the reason is simple, following an illness or injury, despite recover and regenerate, it will never be the same, thus, any damage suffered by the fins of a betta will directly affect its finnage (which could be summarized roughly as fins in the specimen, taking into account the standards set for the array of fins that copy).
is important to distinguish between the genetics of fish that defines the same variety of fins and finnage the same fish, which despite being grounded in genetics focuses on the concrete quality of the fins. Thus, we can and must choose the best specimens finnage when selecting players to perpetuate a particular line, because despite not differ in the genes that produce the trait differ in quantitative inheritance (the amount, distribution, geometry, length, ...).
There are cases where the quantitative inheritance influences but not decisive for the whole, generally in cases of multiple allelic genes, which are genes that have different expressions and therefore, the crossing of any of them with an equal status you get all the expressions of the gene, making it practically impossible to harbor a gene expression (variation) so that only produce offspring of the same variation (see the case of HM, Det, SDET and OHM).
