I've owned fighting fish before, but am really keen to treat Kai so well that he won't die on me.... not so soon at least. From all the reading I've done, I've really gathered a lot of new information.
1. I need to give him a plant! Not only does it provide him some shelter, it'll provide him some comfort by allowing him to rest on whenever he chooses to. The plant will help to stablise his water conditions as well.
2. He needs to detox as well! I choose to either not feed him for a day, or choose to feed him tiny, bite size parts of a pea. This will help to improve his digestion.
3. Apparently, from what I've seen from the Internet, Kai seems to be part of the "Royal Crown" family, based on the way his fins and tail flares out.
4. They prefer pellet food to flakes... Damn... I bought Kai flake food... Am considering getting some pellet ones to switch around as treats for him.
5. I need to buy dechlorinating solution to use in the water that I use for Kai's tank... Chlorine is harmful!
6. All the information makes me feel like I'm ill-treating Kai with the small tank that I got from him! Nevermind... I'll just make this up with consistent change of 20% water every two days, so that there would not be too much ammonia and nitrate buildup!
7. I need to make a cover for Kai's tank some how... That's to prevent him from committing suicide when he decides to perform some jump stunts!
Sheesh.... it's 3.30am! Bed time now! More pics of Kai to come! And his progress! =)
Kai looking at himself in the mirror... (thinking it's another male betta...)
