Crown Tail (Cupang Serit)

Here's another beautiful crown tail betta fish. Just an update.

Halfmoon Betta

Now I bet you've never seen betta fish like this. It has very wide fins and red blue yet transparent combination. If only those fins and tail were shaped a little bit more round would this fish be the most beautiful halfmoon betta in the world.

Curly Fins Crowntail Betta (Cupang Serit Keriting)

This betta fish has long curly fins and beautiful coloration, ranging from red to violet. This is one of Sinyo's best collection. Enjoy!

Grey Red Halfmoon Betta (Cupang Merah Abu-abu)

Did you know? Male and female Bettas should not be kept together except for an hour or two in a fish bowl or small aquarium, while they spawn. And also, Female Bettas can be kept together in one aquarium. Now for those females, they might get attracted by this one handsome fella right here.

Transparent Gold Halfmoon Betta

Hi all. Just dropping by to say Hi and to introduce you to our newest collection. Your comments will be very much appreciated. Thanks!

All Red Halfmoon Betta (Cupang Halfmoon Merah)

Having enough of crowtail bettas yet? Then check this out!

It's an all red halfmoon betta fish. Compared to the other collection, this fish is rather ordinary. But hey, if you have an all red crowntail betta, then you gotta have this all red halfmoon. It's like collector's edition. :D

Black Crowntail Betta Fish (Cupang Serit Hitam)

Now I've seen a lot of black crowntail betta fish on the net via google. Everytime I searched for crowntail betta, I always ended up seeing those black crowntail bettas. But guess what, I got one too, and I'm posting it here to show them that theirs are good, and mine's better. Hope google will crawl this page fast enough to make this betta fish right here come up to the top of the search page.

Really, this betta fish here is as good as it can be. See its tail. You will see not only it forms a great shape of a crown, but also made of lots of twin points (it's those small tails that formed the whole tail as a crown. I don't know what the right word is, so I use "point"). Next I will post a crowntail betta fish that made of not only twin lines, but three lines on some roots.

Betta Fish that's called Plakat (Plakad)

Meet our new friend, Mister Plakat. As you can see, this Betta fish has different shape. Though it has halfmoon shape on its tail, but the range is rather narrow. The range of the fins is narrow too. Plakats are known to be the most fierceful fighter, and when they start to fight they will stop at nothing. This means you have to choose Plakat when you want to make your betta fish fight and put your money on it. Always put your money on strongest fish. May the best Plakat fighter wins.

But wait, this blog is not dedicated to killer fish or dead fish! No Brother, it is dedicated to ornamental betta fish. Gorgeousness, it's what it's all about. Plakat, while you know it as a strong fighter, also has beautiful side. This one, for example, is a very cute plakat. Its small white fins wiggle around rapidly as it try to float in the aquarium. And the halfmoon tail is just round and perfect. The color is what we call dice-color, makes it even more unique than other plakats.

Red Crowntail Betta Fish (Serit Merah)

It's the devil (fish) himself! This red crown tail betta fish is just splendid! Well, it's not as nasty as it looks. It has a rather calm movement. When we face him to another betta fish (in another aquarium, of course), it opens its fin and tail as wide as it can get (see the picture) and just stop moving, only to stare to its enemy. Will he win if we put him into a fight with another betta? We don't know. Curious, but we won't let the curiousity destroy our lovely fishes.

In my country, we call this crown tail betta as "Serit", meaning a comb. Yeah, when you people from the west think that its fins and tail look like a crown, we think it looks like a comb.

Yellow-tied Blue Betta Fish (Cupang Serit Biru Berdasi Kuning)

Well, what do you think? Lots of people here like this betta fish and would like to buy it for a good price. The spread of its fins and tail make him move gracefully. It grows up to 7 centimeters, and I think it has reached its maximum size. What makes this fish even more attractive is its yellow tie. The color combination is unique. Sorry about the lens flare on the picture (it's really hard to take cupang picture, because it always moves around, and not to mention it has to be inside an aquarium), the glass of the aquarium gave it away.

So, this cupang (betta fish) is one of Sinyo's favorite, and we're happy to present it to you via this blog. Wait for our next update. Do comment if you have time. :)

A Beautiful Halfmoon Betta "Cupang" Fish

Ain't this a real beaut? I took a picture of this betta fish early in the morning, so that the sunlight can reach the fish tank from side. Its halfmoon tail has 10 white stripes, covered by red, then transparent black. We named it the Lady Killer. Please don't ask why. It just came out of nowhere.

Some Facts on Betta Fish

• Betta Splendens are commonly known as Siamese fighting fish, or Cupang, or Plakad (Plakat).

• Their natural habitat is Sawah (rice paddies) in Thailand, and from there they travel to other countries in South East Asia.

• Betta fish do not live in rice paddies all the time. They can also be found in 3 feet deep water.

• Siamese fighting fish are anabantoids, meaning they can breathe air from the surface of the water.

• Betta Splendens should be kept in water of 24-27 degrees celcius. Any other degree will make betta fish sick, and die.

• Siamese fighting fish do not like strong water currents. They will get stress if you put them in the water that has currents, especially strong ones.

• Bettas have delicate tails - so ensure that no sharp decorations are in the tank.

• As in their names (Fighting Fish), males must NOT be kept together - they will fight.

• Bettas can grow to around 3 inches in length, and get reasonably fat. If we have a giant betta, we will post it here.
  

Betta Fish with Red-White Fin

This betta fish came with the bat-like-fish. It's a very healthy fish. This fish is kinda special because of the fin's color, red-white, the color of our country's flag. We're still looking for the full red-white betta fish (not only its fin, but also its body). If we get one, we'll post it right here. Happy betta fish!

A Halfmoon Betta Fish That Shines (Cupang Halfmoon Biru Terang)

Long time no see. It's been a while since my last post, and I've been busy doing stuffs, but I've taken photos of sinyo's cupang (Indonesian) or betta fishes, and I have to tell you, he got a lot of cool looking bettas. This one, for example, is a normal half-moon and 4 months old betta, but the combination of the color makes this fish looks even prettier. It shines whenever sunlight touch it. I haven't named it yet, maybe one of you can give me an idea?
