This article seeks to clarify a matter always forgotten, sometimes ignored even when he is a decisive factor for the proper maintenance of our Bettas. I mean, as evidenced by the title of this article, the correct order of introduction at the Aquarium. Many users
blunders committed by ignorance, misinformation usually guided by their own hands or inexperienced (in the case of some new users), since the order in which we introduce each member of the aquarium, in a project that will Bettas, it is very important and sensitive and should not neglect the basic requirements for the maintenance of Bettas "outside the individual containers or Betta", ie aquarium with more than 1 or more Betta 1 fish, including at least have 1 Betta.
BETTER SAFE THAN CURE
When keeping Bettas must be organized as soon as our space, and be clear about what tanks are for what function (breeding, maintenance, hospital ,...) should be considered fish will stay in them, from the beginning and the completion of a project (for example, an Asian Bettas and compatible companions Asian) based on these considerations, we will act in one way or another when introducing Bettas.
basic rules to keep BETTA
For a single tank or container, is a Betta or a tank of 20 liters, where no more than 1 Betta introduce will not make distinctions or handle any order of introduction.
GOLDEN RULE FOR MAINTENANCE Better: never introduce 2 male Betta in the same tank, avoiding fights that result in deaths.
GOLDEN RULES FOR PARTNERS OF THE Better: Before stating 1 tip, make a deaf ear to stories that contradict basic precepts of behavior Bettas with other fish, your fish are at stake:
1) NO FISH TERRITORIAL
2) NO schooling fish
3) NO COLOR FISH
4) NO LONGER Finfish OR STRIKING
5) NO FISH
NERVOUS 6) that captured NO FISH AQUARIUM AREAS OR HIGHER PLANTS AND DECORATIONS TO MEDIUM-HIGH ALTITUDE
7) NO crayfish, eels, morays FRESHWATER, TURTLES, REPTILES AND AMPHIBIANS IN GENERAL, OR ANY EATING FISH genus or species.
8) CHERRY SHRIMP OR ANYTHING OTHER SPECIES IN SIZE SMALL AS
SUMMARY OF THESE RULES, WE CAN MAKE Bette:
1) CHUPALGAS: chupaalgas Chinese ancystrus, plecosomus ...
2) groundfish peaceful and quiet: corydoras, Khulisa, botias caraballo ...
3) EXCEPTIONALLY CRYSTALS CAN MAKE JAVA, a transparent Silurids Asian, shoal but peaceful and night, will not trouble your Bettas
4) Invertebrates (excluding crayfish and prawns cherry), freshwater mussels, shrimp of different species, snails (apple and highlight its work cleaning Planorbis ),...
5) LIVE FOOD COMPATIBLE WITH THE MEDIA: We introduce a large colony of live food in the aquarium (if existing filtration is not a problem for it), so that our Betta live with the colony of daphnia from which power whenever it is hungry (supplementing their diet), or living together for hours or one day with newly hatched Artemia naupilos an interior artemiero ( installed inside the aquarium to produce food in real time without user intervention ),... (It is important not to introduce parasitic species, annoying as mosquitoes (if indoors) and unable to survive in the environment (ie, we can not raise shrimp, along with our Betta as we do with the daphnia, also, the grindal or the worm will have a short lifespan in the water, so planting in the aquarium does not proliferate.)
PROPER ORDER INTRODUCTION
To get a clear idea of \u200b\u200bthe problems associated with keeping Bettas in these circumstances, first introduce the basic relations of the various parties involved and the "territory" (whenever we work with territorial fish, we must assume that we keep the aquarium where it becomes "their" territory.)
1.Relación between male Betta and territory "Betta": The nature of the male Betta makes autocratic role grounded in the law of the strongest, ie send 1 individual on the other, imposing its position through force. A male must have its own territory and will play with any other male an invasion of their territory. A male conspecifics expect it to be the undisputed authority and a young male will be rejected by females.
To define an area of \u200b\u200bBettas (an aquarium maintenance) the first thing to enter, first of all, no partner or female, the first thing we introduce is the "only" male territory, to establish their territory (it is a land survey work available and confidence in himself, this must be only the beginning).
2.A ratio of the female Betta and territory: The nature of the female is dual in the aggressive behavior on one hand, they show submissive and evasive to a territory led by a dominant male that does not show weakness to the other inhabitants of the aquarium instead, with other females weak or new to the territory, as that when a new male arrived in their territory (female) are shown aggressive and assume the role of male to define the territory to the other and impose their "domain" of it.
A female in a hostile manner with another female, usually seeks the submission of the last to his mastery of territory:
A female in a male hostility in principle looks the same as with a female but with a more hostile by male submissive displays, as well as to an increased weakness of the male (if it knew) would be subject to rejection and possible attacks by the female to the male "weak."
3.Relación peer with the territory:
best to avoid stressful situations for partners and facilitate the male does not lose confidence in yourself or time to create the territory, is to stop the introduction of peer to last, but once introduced into the territory will not be necessary to remove them for the introduction of new Bettas, except the arrival of a new male had to replace (in which case it is best to remove them all, break up any territory created and start from 0 with the correct order)
could say in summary, that if the design of a project should be designed Bettas Betta around (seeing what is not suitable for him), in the territory design is all about the male.
