kitstyles Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 hi, all .. personally I'm from Hongkong... I use to keep betta as a kid in Hongkong and after I came to Australia to study I want to start it again but I found that its abit diffcult to keep all little tanks or bottle warms and I just want to share some of the tanks that I found in some HongKong betta website .. it maybe a good idea and just want to share all this with you guys .. because I already asked my LFS in Melbourne to make me a similar one.. and cost me about 75$AUS for 1 that can keep 5 males in... (not include filter, heater etc) .. I guess its pretty cheap if you have many many bettas... All this pictuers from http://www.hkshowbetta.com/board/... hope is ok if I post it here? On top of the tank there is a auto feeder... the designer of this tank says that he could leave the fish at work place without changin water or feeding them for a month and the water is still very clear and clear.... All this tank is designed by RogerChiu from http://www.hkshowbetta.com/board/.... There is more pictuers on how to make these tanks.. if you guys want to see.. I could post the links.. PS: btw I think is a gd idea to have that auto feeder too.. its gd for ppl will away from home sometime like me xD.. it last for 1 month + without cleaning the tank or feeding the fish ...

Chuckie Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 All this pictuers from http://www.hkshowbetta.com/board/... hope is ok if I post it here? Posting the picture is ok, if you have permission from the person whose photo it is and you are hosting the photo on your own photobucket account or similar (if you are just posting an image from the owner's hosting site, that uses up their bandwidth and is against aaq rules). We do have a rule against linking to other forums. We would prefer relevant discussions to occur here rather than elsewhere, but as the other forum appears to be in the Chinese language I guess there's little chance of the discussion moving off aaq, so maybe we can overlook it, this once! The other admins may have a different view though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady0421 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 *hijacking the thread to introduce self* Yup, I came here 15 years ago, but I go back to HK every now and then. I don't like living in HK tho, much prefer Aust. *returning to topic* I actually quite enjoy feeding and doing water changes - maybe that's because I don't have that many tanks. When I had my betta, I loved how he eats off my finger and play with my pen (he'd flare at my pen). But I suppose if you have 10s and hundreds of betta tanks, that sort of system would come in pretty handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
