 Books

Siamese Fighting Fish by Gene A Lucas Ph.D.
Edited By Herbert Axelrod 

This is a brand new copy of the out of print TFH Paperback reprint of the original Lucas book, "Know Your Bettas." To quote Axelrod, " In as much as the text itself was knowledge at the edge of science, TFH has reissued the book with the addition of about 100 original illustrations."

Since the original rights were sold to Pet Library, Gene Lucas had no input as to the adding of neither the pictures nor their captions. There has been some "discussion" about some of the captions. The book is approximately 8.5" X 11" and is beautiful illustrated. The written information is invaluable. From selecting bettas, care, feeding, breeding and a whole chapter on genetics, this book is considered by many to be the definitive betta writing.

Instant Baby Brine Shrimp  

Instant Baby Brine Shrimp
Baby Brine Shrimp (nauplii of Artemia salina) are widely used in the aquarium hobby as food during the first stages of many delicate fishes and as food for many invertebrates.

Until today, there has been little or no progress in the use of Baby Brine Shrimp in the hobby. The whole process of hatching the brine shrimp cysts at home is cumbersome, noisy, and messy. More often than not, not everybody in the household is pleased with the setup. Also, for reasons typically due to sub-optimal storage and handling of the cysts, many of the hatching results are often extremely low. The hatching takes 24 hours and it can be a problem to match this timing with the moment the fry need their first meal.

This is all over now. Ocean Nutrition has developed the Instant Brine Shrimp, a revolutionary product that allows you to use Brine Shrimp when and where you need them. The product consists entirely of sterile newborn nauplii in a water solution. Nothing else has been added, no preservatives or colorants. The product is natural, as if you would have hatched the Brine Shrimp yourself.

The product can be kept and stored at room temperature for many years, as long as the container is not opened. Once open, the product needs to be kept cool in the refrigerator and can be kept for up to 7 days, like the Baby Brine Shrimp you would have hatched yourself. The packaging of the product has a metal cover clearly showing whether or not the product has been opened, to avoid any surprise. It contains a net weight of over 20g (0.7 oz.) drain weight, or in excess of 1.5 million nauplii.

Atison's Betta Starter  


Top performance larval fish diet with high digestible
energy. To be used from day 3 to the end of the first month.
12 g container

Nutritional complete food for young Betta fish that will help promote fast growth, optimal development and disease resistance. High protein content. No inclusion of terrestrial animal proteins. High HUFA and phospholipids content. High DHA/EPA ratio. Highly attractive for the fry. Excellent water stability with reduced sediment in the tank. Free-flowing floating crumbles. Contains vitamins A3, D3, E and C. Finally, breeding the Betta made easy. This food has been extensively tested and is the easy way to raise your fry. It comes in a very attractive package that contains the small food container with a handy spoon and a very extensive explanation by Mr. Atison on how to best breed and raise the Betta fish. Fray raised with a combination of Betta Starter for the first month and Betta PRO after that have outperformed any other feeding regimes in terms of survival rate of the fry and size of the adult Betta. The Bettas grow bigger but do not get fat. The Betta starter comes in a nice box containing a small bottle with 12 g of larval fish diet, a small spoon and a clear instruction on how to breed Bettas using Ocean Nutrition products.
