Fighting fish male Superdelta "Dumbo Ear "xl
With its gigantic pectoral fins, the Superdelta "Dumbo Ear" is virtually the elephant among fighting fish. Its impressive appearance makes it an enchanting pet, which is also suitable for school-age children due to its rather unusual low requirements. Even beginners can learn the basics of aquaristics very quickly with a fighting fish, which is quite forgiving of one or two small mistakes. With a little dedication, the fighting fish will become a trusting and confiding little fellow, who is already waiting for his treat in the evening. - Garnelio

Description

One of the most colorful that aquaristics has to offer is probably the fighting fish Betta splendens. New color morphs and breeding variants with different fin shapes are constantly appearing and are met with enthusiasm. The Superdelta "Dumbo Ear" is a shape characterized by particularly large pectoral fins that almost resemble "elephant ears". Originally the Betta splendens originates from oxygen-poor waters of Asian rice-growing areas, where it colonizes standing and flowing freshwaters from the islands around Bali to Indonesia over the Mailai peninsula to Laos, Vietnam, Myanmar, Thailand and Cambodia. Especially the males are characterized by their sometimes very large fin shapes and their bright colors. This loner, should rather be kept alone and can become an exceptionally mindful family fish if you spend enough time with it.

When fully grown, fighting fish differ mainly in color and fins, with these being particularly noticeable in males. Males develop much more intense colors, and their fins can also be developed up to three times larger than those of females. Even though females develop a spawning papilla, this is not always a sexual characteristic.

Breeding is possible in a variety of ways. The most common is to keep both animals separate and feed with large live and frozen foods several times a day, and raise the water temperature to 28°C. As soon as the male is in the mood, he starts to build a foam nest on the water surface, sometimes involving surface or floating plants. Then the fish are put together. The actual spawning act takes place entwined, where the male entwines and mates with the female. During this process, the female falls into a kind of rigidity, which is released after a few seconds. The up to 200 or more eggs fall to the ground and are collected by the male and spat into the foam nest. The female must then immediately be taken out of the aquarium again. With 2-3 days the young can be fed with freshly hatched Artemia nauplii or microworms. The young rise to the water surface quite soon, when their labyrinth organ develops, and breathe atmospheric oxygen from then on.

Already in a 60 liter aquarium without technology the fighting fish can be kept alone , if this is properly maintained. In community aquariums it claims a territory, which it regularly swims off and defends. Even if it will not seriously attack or injure its fellow fish, it consumes a lot of energy for this, also due to its large fins, which will affect its life expectancy, which is anyway quite low at 2-3 years. KaFis do not like bright lighting or reflective bottom grounds. However, they prefer dense weed cover, especially in the middle and upper water zone, but still leaving enough room to breathe.

Fighting fish are very intelligent and observe a lot. They can visually tell their keepers apart, likewise they can be "trained" with a lot of dedication, fed from the hand or tweezers, some even recognize their food above the water surface and jump up. For this reason, among others, the aquarium should be covered. Last but not least, the adult fighting fish can also "catch a cold" if the ambient air is too cool. water temperature should not fall below 26°C permanently.

Invertebrates are sometimes eaten by the fighting fish. It is possible to keep it with adult dwarf shrimps , but breeding them will be rather difficult. Dwarf crayfish can accidentally injure the fins of the fighting fish with their claws, especially in small aquariums, so keeping them together is not advisable. The socialization with snails is conditionally possible - the KaFi is curious and will possibly also subject these to an inspection.

Especially with live food like white mosquito larvae and Artemia nauplii, fighting fish can be kept well. Most can be switched to special fighting fish food and fed rather sparingly, but more often.

Our food recommendation: The soft granules NatureHolic Bettafeed has been optimized in its composition to meet the needs of fighting fish and other carnivores. However, fighting fish do not only need pure animal proteins. A small proportion of vegetable substances imitates the intestinal contents of the prey animals, with which the beautiful bettas in nature ultimately consume a certain proportion of plant food. Garlic extract has a strengthening effect and can supportthe immune system and also make it strong against parasites.

Our plant recommendation: For planting, use NatureHolic InVitros. These are free of snails, planarians and other unwanted co-inhabitants. Also free of algae spores, bacteria and fungi.

Expert Tip: We recommend for fish keeping the NatureHolic 3 Phase Liquid. The care set offers the best all-round protection for your animals. It ensures optimal conditions for successful breeding and keeping.
