Fish Fanatic
I'm going to buy a pair of imbellis and trying to decide if I should go the aquarium-bred or wild caught route. I don't want to spend $100 on them only for them to die on me due to a variety of incompatibility reasons between adjusting to aquarium from wilderness. My worry might be due to paranoia though. On the same point of good and bad the fish have to go through quarantine/ready for export in Thailand, then again quarantine in Australia before it's let loose to me, so they might be really stressed out from that or adapted to a container life. I'm asking those of you who purchased wild caught betta: did they easily take to being in an aquarium? What did you do to accommodate the change? FYI they'll be in a 85 litres (22 gallons) planted tank with cherry shrimps, most likely there'll be no other fish. Water wise it'll be about half rain water and half tap water, thrown in a bunch of Indian almond leaves or the like. Thanks.
