Ovako, Night bird je dobro želio no neke stvari nisu dobre a to je hraniti borca 3x na dan. Ne, to nikako ... borca se hrani samo jednom na dan i to po mogućnosti proteinskom hranom. Postoji hrana u listićima isključivo za Bette, no uz nju je svakako dobro im povremeno dati i smrznutu živu hranu kao i larve komaraca što im je imače jedna od najomiljenijih delicija a u prirodnom biotopu i uobičajena hrana.
Borca se bez problema može držati u 15-ak litara s tim mu ne treba dodavati ženku ukoliko se ne misli mrijestiti, no onda se to radi na nešto drugačiji način jer u protivnom će je ubiti (rijetko, rijetko da neće).
S njim se mogu u tih 15 litara držati neki mini corići, izbjegavati ribe dugih i šarenih peraja kako je već rekao Night bird. Biljke su svakako poželjne u tom malom akvariju jer će vodu održavati kvalitetnijom a moja preporuka je vazda odličan rogolist (Ceratophyllum Demersum).
Temperatura od 26 C je najodgovarajuća i nije istina da ga treba držati kao hladnovodnu ribu. Istina, on je jedna vrlo otporna riba kako na nitrite tako i na nižu temp. noipak ne zaslužuje testiranje i držanjeu neadekvatnim uvjetima?

A zašto ih nije dobro hraniti triputa na dan?(moji dva jedu tri puta i to u velikim količinama)
How much to feed? People think they have to feed their bettas until they explode, and that bettas will get big and strong that way. More than likely what will happen is that the bettas will not eat all the food, the uneaten food will rot in the jars/tanks, polluting the water and bacteria will promptly flourish in such an environment. In turns, the bacteria will attack the bettas, which will become sick. So rule number one in betta feeding is DON’T OVERFEED!!! Feed as much as your betta can eat in 2 mn, and no more. Try to achieve a softly rounded belly. Your betta should not look pregnant :P. On the other hand, If your betta’s belly looks “hollow” or too flat, then you are either not feeding him enough, or he has a bacterial infection causing him to waste away (or internal parasites).
Overfeeding can cause serious problem? Double Tail bettas will have swimbladder problem if you over feed them. They will start floating and may take up to several weeks to recover! So with DTs, it is even more important to not overdo it when it comes to food. Also when feeding live food, especially live brine shrimp, you must be aware that bettas will not stop eating until all the live food has been gobbled up. Twice I lost bettas that way. I kid you not. You will find them dead the next day. So only feed reasonable amounts of live food to your bettas, because in your fishroom, you are the only one with any ability to refrain things from getting out of hands. Your bettas can't and won't. They'll eat themselves to death. Literally. Wise buffalo has spoken.
Skip a day? It is a good idea to not feed your betta one day a week. Let his digestive system rest, let him clean himself out a bit. This does not mean that you should feed your betta whenever you remember, and that it is OK to feed him on and off and skip several days. You should feed him daily, and then skip one day every week.
How long can a betta live without eating? I am not sure exactly how many days, but what I do know is that they can survive without food for a long time. I had a sick betta who ate a half a live worm once a week and lasted three month that way. I know that bagged bettas have been reported to have survived in their sealed bags up to three weeks. So I guess, what I am trying to say is, if you are leaving on a week-end trip and won’t be home to feed your betta for 3 days, don’t sweat it. He won’t starve or anything :). Again that does not mean that you should not feed your bettas with punctuality.
I kako da onda hranim neonke?
Mislim da ni Neonkama neće biti ništa ako jedu jednom na dan. Ja inače svu svoju ribu hranim jednom na dan (osim Gupija) s jednodnevnim postom u tjednu i svi su just fine (https://www.akvarij.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsmileys%2Fsmiley2.gif&hash=37d2b1f68093b901c215e5a29629cbe8accc72d2).
