Training
The purpose
of training fighter fishes is to make them furious, aggressive,
tolerable, strong and healthy.
After
conditioning, put the fish back into an individual
jar or bottle that holds at least 2 liters of water.
Now add 2.5ml of
Atison's Betta SPA in the container.
The color of the water will immediately change to light brown.
Feed the fish once a day with high energy food.
We
recommend Atison's Betta PRO. The whole process of training will
last about 6 to 7 days, depending on the fitness of the
fighter. The training period should not take longer
than 10 days. The longer the training period, the more boring
and stressful it becomes for the fish. If there is no suitable opponent,
just put the fish back to the conditioning process again.
Then do the exercising process, step by step.
2.1. Parn
(Chasing)
Find a big round container
(a square one is also acceptable) that has
a diameter of at least 12 inches (30 cm). Put clean water into
it measuring as high as possible - 10 inches (25 cm) is preferable. Put 4
or 5
small and healthy females in this container, followed
by the fighter in the same container. The fighter will
chase the females around the container. It looks
beautiful
when he is chasing the females. Leave the fighter in the container
for about 5 minutes or until the fighter starts to bite a
female. Take him out and leave all the females in the
container. Repeat this process again next morning for
another 4 days. We call this process "Parn".
The
purpose of chasing is to eliminate fat and to make him
alert. Why is it that I don't put males inside the
container instead of females? It's because
I don't want them to fight each other and damage my
fish's beautiful fins. Females are also fighters but
are not as fierce as males. However, if they are kept in
a separate bottle for
a week, the females will fight like males. |
