How to train Betta fish? 

Heredity is important factor. Although we waste time and money to train betta fish, it only has little chance to win if not comes from a good heredity.

Another important thing is healthiness. A healthy betta fish will fight with "brave heart", has a high skill, and a good stamina to fight if it has those factors above.

There are many training methods which you can do, but all those methods have a tendency to the fish healthiness. Other words, all training methods only make betta fish to stay fit on physical healthiness.

The easiest way to train betta fish is caring it in the proper condition, which is having acidity level 6.5; temperature 27°C; and given a wide place to swim.

Like human, when betta fish is swimming, excessive fat will be burned and changed to be a muscle shape, a thing needed by betta fish to increase power and endurance during the challenge.

Because betta fish always takes a breath from the surface air, it can be placed into a wide aquarium as long as needed. Betta fish is rarely swimming, so we must stimulate it to swim. "Remember, just stimulate not force..". Placing betta fish into aquarium which has size (length: wide: high = 25cm x 25cm x 120cm) is one of the best way to take care for betta fish.

Greet the challenge day..!!! 

As an owner of betta fish, actually, we are important role in the betta fish challenge.

Betta fish needs to take a rest before greets a challenge day, so it's better to place it into 3 liter jar as long as 3 days before the challenge day.

Water used to care for betta fish must be changed every day. If you want to place it into the small jar, put it one day before challenged.

Remember, don't feed betta fish one day before challenged. For example: if the challenge day is Sunday, the last day to feed it was Saturday.

Betta fish that you've brought to the challenge must be on the top condition, fit, and aggressive. It can be shown by dark color and glitter, stretched out of flipper widely, and wild action.

Small body size means that betta fish only has little power and weak body structure, so it only has little chance to win the challenge.

Well, it's better to compete betta fish with a rival which has similar size. Before betta fish is matched in the challenge day, try to look at it body size, compare it head size, jawbone, length, and body thickness. Your patience to wait and find the best rival is deciding your successful attempt to take care and train betta fish.

    Very interesting lens! I've had a Betta fish before but never knew they could be trained. I liked to place a mirror in front of them to get them excited and cause them to flair out their brilliance and beauty.
