My Fighter fish nest

In few months, my female fighter’s body was bigger than the male fighter. In fighter fish male and female differentiation can be done very easily.. Male will have large tail and two large lengthy spikes like fin below its head, males body size will be smaller than its tail size, males are more aggressive than female fighters they have a very special feature, they will put out their gills when they are fighting or when they want to attract the females.Female fighter fish will have a bigger body size than their tail. Its spike like fin below its head will be smaller. I kept male and female fighters together in a dark tub. After few days male fighters started building its nest by putting bubble layer on the water surface. The bubbles were in pale golden and light brownish color. Male lost some of its pieces of its tail to the female fighter and female lost few of its shells. I was surprised to see both the terrors finally get along with each other : ) One point of time both of them clubbed together with their mouth. It’s their mating style. My female fighter color had become bit dull. In few days the nesting of my male fighter has become thicker and its base has increased. I was so eagerly waiting for the eggs to be placed on the nest. So I was keeping my eyes always on the nest….

Fighter fish

Fighter fish is one of my favorite fish. At my school days, my friends are crazy about fighters ; ) . For them its value depends on the color and tail. They will also trade fighters among the friends circle. I have seen some 50 adult fighters at one of my friends house. He is mad with fighters. Like every fish they also have lots of specialties. Their fighting skills is the highlight of fighters. Some fighting’s will lead to fatal end. I bought 2 young fighters, in one platform shop near my home. The male is a green fellow and the female was in green color. I kept the male and females with gold fishes for few months. Once male started attacking female I separated it from female. I still remember I used to feed spiders to fighters : ) The spiders which are at my home are very small spiders. Their legs will be very thin and its body will be in size of this “O” letter. If leave any spider, my male fighter will grasp the full body of the spider and leave the legs. They themselves hunt mosquitoes which sit near the tank glass. They are very quick in catching them. My male fighter’s color was amazing when it has grown up. it had multiple color green, blue and pink … when it swims it looks magnificent… That to the grownup fighters tails will be in great shape. While they swim it will amazing to see their tail movement.
